Gearing Up

I'm currently re-working and building things here and there to grow the blog over the next week in time for New York's up coming fashion week. Look for full coverage of the shows and presentations of Robert Geller, Odyn Vovk, Tim Hamilton, and several more to be announced shortly. Anyways yea, so things are gonna be changing a bit for the better this week, and we will be bringing some great shows to you this season.

Also new Purple Fashion magazine is out and it is a good one, some great shoots and good interviews with Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon, Muiccia Prada, and many more, check it out.

All Leather in A Cold Cave

Justin Pierson's of the Locust, Some Girls, etc. new band I literally just stumbled upon when they where playing in Brooklyn last weekend. Anyways its intense as you would expect from Justin and its pretty awesome. So check out the video...

Here is the band's myspace. ALL LEATHER

Another Some Girls member Wes Eisold has a newer project as well called Cold Caves which is a total departure from so much of his amazing previous work. Anyways its fucking good, check it out.


COLD CAVE

Cliches

So as the often celebrated and admired Scott Schuman aka The Sartorialist launches a photo book through Penguin press, two photos on his website caught my eyes. These two photos caught my eye for two distinct reasons, A) they both are extremely pedestrian looking outfits and photos, B) both have the requirements to be "Shot By The Sartorialist" guide found on Refinery 29 not too far back. Anyways yeah so both these photos are fucking boring and yea I have nothing witty to say so ok. Well maybe there is this to be said, unfortunately Schuman has taken some great photos in his day but the fact that he is so often referred to as such an influence on fashion just blows my mind. Oh well. Please let me know if I am a judgmental asshole in the comments.

US Royalty Video

Last night was the official US Royalty "Every Summer" music video premier party at Norwood. It was a fun party in an amazing space, and the video wasn't too shabby. Jake Davis directed the video, if you don't know who Jake is he has directed videos for The Hold Steady, Head Automatica, as well as videos for Supreme with the likes of Bad Brains and Terry Richardson. You should check out his work on his site. Anyways great party and wanted to say thanks to Chris Black and the guys of US Royalty for having me out. The video is available to be seen on A Continuous Lean, which is linked here as well.

Greatest Hits, Track Number (N)ine

Some old Number (N)ine photos from around 2006, just to bring back some great memories of Takahiro's work.

Levi's & Robert Geller Collaborate

The collaboration between denim stalwart and romantic and forward fashion designer is Levi's with Robert Geller. The capsule collection which will be available at Bloomingdales as well as their webstore is an amazing blend of the two distinct aesthetics. Geller captured his own vision in the classic Levi's staples by extending certain pieces, chopping off sleeves, and heavily treating others. Look for this collection to sell out quickly as it is both accessible and exciting to the Geller followers and the Levi's aficionados as well.

Yesterday...

...Was the SelfEdge New York party, and it was a good time Kiya welcomed us all into the new space and pumped us all full of beer. Anyways I meet Richard Haines there, Richard runs a blog where he takes quick snap shots of what he sees during the day and then sketches it for the blog. Richard took a picture of my self and my good friend Jimmy and sketched us up for his blog.

I Blame Coco Aka Sting's Daughters Band

Ok so just yesterday I was talking with this dude and he was telling me about how he just wrapped shooting Coco Sumner's bands video, I remember hearing she had a band, I just never cared. Well he was telling me how she had this awesome voice, like her dad's in the early Police days (good shit back then), so I had to check them out. Anyways she has a good voice and the sound of her band was not was I was expecting its eclectic and weird, and sometimes challenging sometimes shitty. I like some of it but overall I think her voice is better than much of the music. Check it out and let me know what you think.

DRKSHDW SS2010....Need

Rick Owens' diffusion line DRKSHDW is always a favorite of mine but it seems that for the SS2010 season it is going to another level. The skirt/pant piece is fucking gold I want one bad.
