Coming Soon: ‘James Turrell’ at The Guggenheim
Standing inside James Turrell’s Meeting, an artificially illuminated square room with an exposed ceiling cut-out at the top floor of MoMA Ps1, there is room to ponder. The world is simplified here—purified even—allowing the mind to meet with the world, each as its own. It is calm here, even for Queens. This piece, part of his “skyspaces” series, continues [...]
Saint Laurent’s New ‘Permanent Collection’
It’s safe to say that since Hedi Slimane took the reins at YSL, he has left the fashion community’s feathers every bit ruffled. From dropping the Yves in the name, to sexualizing, and according to some, cheapening the brand with a questionable Fall Winter 2013 presentation, to those musician-ccentric ad campaigns, which I thought were, [...]
Music To Melt To: A Record Made of Ice
It’s an interesting week in the realm of sci-fi pop: first, we have an astronaut cover a Bowie classic in space. Now, we have a record from a Swedish indie group made solely from ice. The band in question is the Shout Out Louds, who frankly haven’t made much of a stir ever since comely [...]
Shake It Up: Boys Noize Remix Pet Shop Boys
We recently made Pet Shop Boys’ brilliant comeback single, “Axis,” an “Ear Candy” track, which means we really, really like it. Generally speaking, this seems to be the way a lot of people feel about the Stuart Price-backed song; the reality is people like upbeat, sophisticated dance songs from Tennant & Lowe, not dirges. To [...]

VRZ 1. Fixed Gear Bike by Ralf Holleis
I think I’ve finally mustered up the courage to master the death-defying act of getting on a bike and riding around this summer in New York City. And if I could ride around town on the VRZ 1 fixie by German designer Ralf Holleis, I’d feel just a bit safer. Its perfect black frame is heightened [...]
Karlie Kloss In The Kitchen with Jourdan Dunn
That whole ‘don’t feed the models’ thing is done like dinner. Emulating all we love about the Food Network, except with models, this Life+Times clip is part of the Well Dunn series, featuring supermodel and baking enthusiast Karlie Kloss, joined by host and longtime friend Jordan Dunn for a cooking extravaganza. We can’t tell what or who is [...]
Merav Ben Loulou – Islands In The Stream
Merav Ben Loulou, the Tel Aviv-based photographer who has taken us backstage at Lanvin, sent us this link to a lookbook she recently shot, entitled Islands In The Stream, showcasing “2_Morumara” designer Adam Gefen‘s second collection. Adam continues to examine the strange beauty of fabrics and shapes in the male wardrobe, taking his inspiration from the French Polynesia. “The [...]
Something To Read: Tuesday Peace by Marie Mamonia
I guess it’s only fitting to post a poem titled Tuesday Peace on a Tuesday. The piece is written by Marie Mamonia, the lovely and talented Danish poet, who released her latest collection of written prose, making references to things that intertwine in quiet relevancy to our daily life; laundro-mats, newspaper headlines, coffee, Manhattan Ave. Selected Poems [...]
Old Bags New Beasts
What is to be said of the unremitting reintroduction of the Louis Vuitton monogram bag over the years? Overplayed? Over-branded? Over your price range? Perhaps it’s a resounding yes to all of the above (we get it Kim Kardashian!), but from the death that lies buried in the old checkered canvas baggage comes forth a new [...]
Emoji Makeup by Peter Philips for V Magazine
I am addicted to emojis, and who isn’t? A tiny picture conveys so much more meaning than words can. But even more than that, anything and everything from Asia just makes me happy. So you can imagine my reaction when I saw this story. Makeup artist Peter Philips seems to think so too, as he’s [...]
Visionaire 63 Forever is Made of Metal
With punk on everyone’s lips these days, the ever innovative team behind Visionaire decided to be different — as always — and turn their attention to a forgotten yet precious alloy: metal. Their latest issue, 63, is the first ever magazine made of the shiny silver stuff. Visionaires’ founder Cecelia Dean and the team wanted to [...]
New Kids on the Block: the Seven 2013 ANDAM Finalists
ANDAM’s recent announcement of this year’s Grand Prix designer finalists for the 2013 competition (France’s equivailent to the CFDA) has raised (and squinted) eyes, giving a sneak and envious preview into couture’s cool kids table for next season. Curated from cool kid judges in their own right (including Emmanualle Alt, Humbero Leon and Nicole Phelps), the seven finalists [...]

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 [...] >>
