Shawnimals - Zombie Stache and Pork Dorkling for NYCC

Shawnimals is putting out some exclusives for this weekend's New York Comic Con (NYCC), starting with this deathly scary Zombie Stache...

Limited to 100, so 25 of these will be available at the Kid Robot booth on Friday the 8th, 25 more on Sunday for a signing. The remaining 50 will be sold through Shawnimals closer to Halloween.



Then there is the quiet yet mysterious Pork Dorkling....


Looks like a normal nerdy steamed pork dumpling wearing glasses, right? BUT NO, remove those glasses and add a cape and you get Super Pork! 100 of these will be for sale at the myplasticheart booth, but only ONE box will also contain a cape so that Pork Dorkling can transform into Super Pork.


All going down this weekend in NYC.

Major Lazer - PercoMajor | Video

This is Major Lazer's contribution to the Percolator remix album that was recently released although I can't seem to find...

Loving the desultory visuals just as much as the Major Lazer infused beat. Video directed by Konee Rok (who also did Rhymefest's One Arm Pushup video, which is simple yet great).

Comme des Garçons Website Launch

After years of internet anonymity, Comme des Garçons has succumb to the pressures and demands of the generation and started their very own website...





You know that very famous saying "be careful what you wish for"? ... yeah that applies pretty well here. I'm sure everyone was expecting an eccentrically designed site that offered all of the latest news and products, but instead we get a virtually impossible to navigate page that really doesn't offer much at all. Took me about 5 minutes to get to the store locator page, but that was by accident really. Oh well, at least their stores and products speak loudly enough to how amazing the brand is, some website could never change that much.



Random opinion, Maison Martin Margiela site >>>>

Bape Store Shanghai (Location Update)

Not breaking news or anything, but on a little stroll through Shanghai's Xintiandi district I noticed an obnoxiously loud store front shrouded in Bape camo...






Xintiandi is a small walking district of Shanghai that has kept the small walking streets and passages exactly as they were back in the day. At the very end of Xintiandi is the Xintiandi mall, where Hong Kong fashion conglomerate IT recently opened one of their amazing high end IT department stores, an http://izzue.com, and now soon to be a Bape store (which is connected to the ground floor of IT on the outside of the mall).


STILL not date on the opening.
