We like Brixton Ltd. clothing from California – clean and straight forward gear for grown-ups. No gimmicks, no tricks.

An artificial appropriation of different styles from different eras, the hipster represents the end of Western civilization – a culture lost in the superficiality of its past and unable to create any new meaning. Not only is it unsustainable, it is suicidal. While previous youth movements have challenged the dysfunction and decadence of their elders, today we have the “hipster” – a youth subculture that mirrors the doomed shallowness of mainstream society.

London architect Zaha Hadid designed the Chanel Mobile Art pavilion, which has already made a stop in Tokyo. The structure is made of lightweight panels that are packed in 51 shippable containers. Each participating artist was asked to create a work that was at least in part inspired by Chanel’s classic 2.55 quilted-style chain handbag.

The pavilion will occupy the Rumsey Playfield, midpark at 70th Street NYC, from Oct 20 to Nov 9 2008.

Shadow Project Fall Winter 2008. Looks interesting but the ACRONYM line is way better in my opinion.

“Jean Touitou, creator of A.P.C., shows us their latest ‘Butler Worn Out’ jeans that has actually been worn by humans, so it creates natural wash lines and broken-in feel without using sandpaper.”

I hope this is just a lame joke. Who’s the ‘Butler’? Some streetkiddo in China or India?

Vans Syndicate updated their website with the fall 08 Steve Olson pack. Further upcoming lines for 09 are the Gabe Morford pack and the Max Schaff pack.

Established in 2006, Haven can be found on a hidden back street of downtown Edmonton, Canada. Together with their onlineshop, Haven offers a really nice selection in contemporary men’s streetwear, high-end sportswears, and footwear. And they are friendly too.

I like beautiful girls and I like beautiful photography.
But I love the combination.

We like Huffer from New Zealand.

For the first time Karl Lagerfeld has agreed to let someone create an artwork on his every day life and to trust in the director. Until today there is no authorised biography existing and the memories who Karl Lagerfeld would compose stay perfectly confidential. After three years of work, and over three hundred hours of footage, Rodolphe Marconi discloses the daily life of the star through his personal lens as a filmmaker.
