Evian x Jean-Paul Gaultier


The bad boy of fashion, Mr. Jean Paul Gaultier, has teamed up with Evian for the ready-to-wear edition of the bottle. Together they have conceived 5 very exclusive limited edition designs that one mouth can only dream of being adorned by.

Bubbles bottle, drops bottle, tray bottle, reflection bottle and spring bottle: 5 exceptional creations presenting the tremendous savoir-faire of Baccarat artisans. These pieces have been shown in various cities such as London, Tokyo, Shanghai, New York, Moscow, Dubaï, Melbourne and Paris.
They will be auctioned off April 7th for the cause of the RAMSAR convention.
The purpose of the RAMSAR convention is to stem the progressive encroachment on and loss of wetlands now and in the future, recognizing the fundamental ecological functions of wetlands and their economic, cultural, scientific, and recreational value....i.e. so that you can drink better water.

Don't Bite The Bullet, Nibble it.


I'm sure Janet will be first in line, if she hasn't already gotten one. 26 year old designer, Caroline Gaspard, is no stranger to the wild side and her latest creation of the bullet diamond nipple ring reminds us of just how crazy she can be (in case some of you forgot).

A DOCUMENTARY FILM BY GARY HUTSTWIT: HELVETICA




You never know how much the small things matter until the big picture starts to fade. I first came across this documentary in my typography class, and second time around on colette. Helvetica is far and away the most widely used of all typefaces. It's everywhere, and as an art enthusiast and marketing connoisseur, I can appreciate. The film is unusually interesting.

Faaaaalloooooooyd Freshdaily Johnson


CRUDE, CONTEMPORARY, UNCONVENTIONAL, AND FRESH. Life replicating that of an American Apparel Photobook or one that is coextensive to a snapshot of The Wonder Years television show from the late 80's. This is the essence of Sir Floyd Freshdaily Johnson. I <3 Floyd.....and I just wanted you all to know. Photographer, art enthusiast, defiant fashionist (but definitely in a good way), and all around genuine person.

p.s. Floyd you should have ur own spot on my blog.

Customizing What U Call Original: STAMP'D

Our friends from Cali have always exuded a different type of fashion sense to the rest of the world...Seems to me that its a more diverse and liberated side of fashion. I found this company STAMP'D LA, that definitely represents "The Sunshine State" in this sense, and indubitably I've made them a favorite of mine. Chris Stamp has reinvented the signature Los Angeles Chuck Taylor into a contemporary yet refined sneaker. From Nylon to SneakerFreaker to Warp in Japan, everyone is putting their stamp of approval on STAMP'D LA. Shoes start at $110. Here's just a couple to wet your appetite (my particular favorites). I introduce tho u, the 'Jordand' and the 'Roomd'. THROW A D ON THAT BITCH!

HERB LUUV THE KIDS: COOL KIDS PENNIES VIDEO

Reminiscing.....Inglish comes to me in the student lounge at school and says..."I think I'm gonna quit school and make beats." I respond, "I don't know if that's such a good idea, maybe you should finish school first". He reply's, "I can always come back to school, wanna hear some stuff I made?"...I answer, "Sure let's see what this is about." In conclusion, after an a bit of head bobbing and an unexpected heargasm, I told him, "You're awesome and I think you're absolutely right"...This was a little over 3 years ago and the evolution of the Cool Kids is at its' peak. The advancement of these two in such a short period of time is completely bonkers....but I guess when you make good music, and you've got the tools to get it heard, the rest is easy. The Cool Kids posted their new "Pennies" video yesterday on their blog, and Inglish was nice enough to give a proper introduction...Thanks Chuck, we appreciate it.
