Sixpack France s/s 2011

Sixpack France has just launched their Spring/Summer 2011 line, along with a nice lookbook for the occasion. The season is called 'Dusk to Dusk', peep...









In America these guys fly so far under the radar, it's crazy. Again they come out with a very nice collection that continues to grow up but keep that street style look. And not so heavily showcased in this lookbook, Sixpack collabs with all sorts of artists for a really nice tee shirt line. Check their online store.

Comme des Garçons x Converse Jack Purcell

Comme des Garçons PLAY and Converse are back at it again, this time using the Jack Purcell...






Kinda wish they did a little something different then they did last year with the Chucks, but overall it's still a clean look and they added the black hearts for a slightly more incognito look.

Due out in March.

Prada Marfa

Looking like something straight out of a movie, therein lies a Prada "store" in small municipality of Texas where the population just barely breaks 200. However things are not always as they seem, because while this store is stocked with Prada goods, it doesn't have a working door, or any way to get in the place at all for that matter...




...and that would be because this isn't actually a store, per-say, it's an art installation that has been around for years now but never had one customer or employee. Back in 2005, artist duo Elmgreen and Dragset put up this installation in the most desolate place they could find, to completely juxtapose high fashion retail with it's surroundings. They got the co-sign (and some free display merch) from Prada and built what looks like a normal Prada store in the middle of the desert. And the visual is pretty stunning.

Sadly some hooligans broke into the place only a few days after it opened and robbed the entire place, but now everything has security sensors that will alert the police. Since then the place hasn't been entered and the plan is to never upkeep the installation so that it slowly and naturally just fades into the desert environment. Pretty damn cool.

Apparently I'm a solid 5+ years late on this one, but after seeing the above image randomly on a tumblr, feeling a little perplexed, and them scouring the internet for information on it, I felt compelled to post.

Tyler The Creator - Yonkers | Video

Tyler the Creator just dropped his first single and video from his next album, Goblin. Aside from the raps, Tyler also produced the song and directed the video, so peep the madness...

"Green paper, gold teeth, and pregnant gold retriever's all I want
fuck money, diamonds, and bitches, I don't need 'em"

The video, the beat, the verses... Tyler kinda spazzed on this is in an awesomely dark way. If yeeint up on Tyler the Creator and OFWGKTA, just peep OddFuture's blog where you can get a ton of their material n get a pretty good idea as to what they're all about. I swear these dudes are the subculture that hip-hop didn't know it needed.

Bape x G-Shock DW6900

Bape is at it again with the G-Shock DW6900, this time in a murdered out all black version...






Yeah yeah, call it an overpriced G-Shock, whatever, if you're a Bape stan like me, you know this watch is sick! I'm still bitter I missed out on the black Bape G-Shock from like 2006 because I was up at school, so this one might have to be my redemption/ birthday gift to myself.

Just released worldwide and online.
