Inside ‘Provence’ Issue E

The moment you realize that we’re living in a world where Miley Cyrus can get away with looking like this, it becomes clear that subtlety has gone to the dogs and that social relevancy is best marked by the extremes. Despite crawling through its last few laps of life, publishing is not immune to such illusions. [...]

Sun&Cloud Camera

Sun&Cloud Camera

Usually when it comes to technology, we want the next big thing, the gadget that is smaller and slicker than its predecessors — except, it seems, when it comes to cameras. There was the resurgence of Polaroid, made possible by the Impossible Project, Socialmatic LLC’s real-life Instagram camera-taking app technology, and now comes the Sun& [...]

Jacques Greene x How To Dress Well

Jacques Greene x How To Dress Well

This very mysterious yet intriguing 40-second clip is the precursor of ‘more to come’, according to FACT magazine. LuckyMe teases new material from Jacques Greene and How To Dress Well, the clip featuring some hypnagogic sounds, both names flashing on-screen towards the end, yet it’s unclear whether this is a collaboration or a joint release.

In Review – The Not So Great Gatsby

In Review – The Not So Great Gatsby

  The Great Gatsby wasn’t great. I went to see The Great Gatsby last night, as a bit of research in preparation to speak with Simon Jacobs, a local bespoke suit maker and tailor here in New York City who worked on wardrobe — which by the way, was decadent to the core. But like [...]

Suede for Days

Suede for Days

Sneaker blogging has never really been my thing. Personally, I’ve always been a loafers kind of boy—I say this specifically because I have the body of a small boy, and with that, this irrational fear that sneakers make me look like an anime character. But also, there are just too many new releases every day to keep [...]

Weekend Listening: Italians Do It Better, After Dark 2

For those who fell in love with the seductive, noir disco sounds of Italians Do It Better acts Desire and Chromatics through the Drive soundtrack (or later, the semi-related Symmetry release, Songs For An Imaginary Film, blatantly penned by IDIB’s Johnny Jewel), we have good news: your sounds of a synth summer have arrived.

Suave Like Sauvé – Sebastian Sauvé

We picked a model’s brain to see if there was anything in there and it turns out that Sebastian Sauvé (Premier London) is more than just a pretty boy. Even if he is the ultimate model-photographer cliche. I mean when you look like this, you have to ride the wave, any which way it goes. [...] >>
The BLVCK SCVLE Theory

The BLVCK SCVLE Theory

A tinge of Soho, a pinch of Fifth Ave, a linger of Rodeo Drive. This physically describes Black Scale NYC, a just-down-the-road yet out of the way menswear destination. On a slate grey cobblestone street in the city that never sleeps,  a sliding door entrance opens to a polished all-black-everything ‘man cave’ if you will. [...] >>

We’re still getting used to this term and it’s definition, much to the annoyance of established fashion journalists and editors, who work to keep fashions’ gates [...] >>

Honest to Goodness Mr. Dougie

Honest Ed’s is synonymous with ‘landmark’ for most Toronto residents. They know it’s the spot for the best deals on cheap products, for nearly every facet of your life. Located on Bloor and Bathurst Sts, in the safe, culturally vibrant Annex neighbourhood, the one-of-a-kind retail space lights up like a 1940′s Hollywood movie trailer. Oozing [...] >>

Jason Ierace – Gun For Hire

Finding cool stuff online is like making rapid fire but unrelated connections in your brain – one second you’re thinking about puppies and the next you’re contemplating life on Mars. How does it happen? Random. But interesting. Stream of conscious. Starting out with lord only knows what at this point, I skipped across photographer Jason [...] >>
