Kanye West Goes Martial Rap, But He’s Not The First
The reality of Kanye West taking the Saturday Night Live stage with a scorching anger shook up the sound grids, for certain. And there’s no doubt, he’s taking a risk by performing the eviscerating harsh noise-rap of “New Slaves” and “Black Skinhead” on the nation’s most iconic late night show. But West has never been [...]
Brian Calvin’s L.A. Youths – The Artist Behind Raf Simons’ Spring 13 Prints
Brain Calvin is an artist, born and raised in California. His work has become synonymous with the sun-drenched sands and lifestyle of L.A. living, his portraits, those appearing in Raf Simons Spring 2013 collection, feature bleary-eyed youth, painted on backgrounds that are ‘generalized glimpses of California’. The Belgian designer used Calvin’s art on oversized t-shirts, [...]

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. [...]

Here’s a little end of work day humor. Buzzfeed (obvs) presents 21 rules for living in New York City in the 21st century. Some of our faves – watch where you are going, wearing earbuds and shades on the train is perfectly okay if you don’t want to be bothered by strangers, DON’T LITTER, don’t [...]
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
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
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
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 [...]

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
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. [...] >>
Ink Philosophy: Jun Cha
23-year-old L.A. tattoo artist Jun Cha is an amalgam of all things creative. He’s an illustrator, a painter, a photographer, a fashion designer having memorable collaborations with brands like Black Scale and The Hundreds under his belt, and more. It takes skill, time and patience to dip your toes in everything, but most importantly, discipline. [...] >>
Jay Strut
It’s not about who you know. It’s about knowing who you are. And strutting your stuff. That’s kind of what I’ve gathered from Jay Strut, a Toronto-based fashion blogger. 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 [...] >>
