It Looks like VANS is opening a PopUp shop at London’s Old Spittalfields Market just in time for the VANS Downtown Showdown. Picking up on the Victorian era Pub and Jack the Ripper theme from the contest the store has the look and feel of a pub. A baby grand piano (I hear it actually [...]

The PopUp boys from sunny Bavaria have done it again!
New York Fashion Week is in full stride and I must say Proenza Schouler’s textiles strike me with an awe powerful punch. Demure shades and sheen surfaces find each other well in a melodic Fall 2011 collection. Watch the show here These bags are not in the budget of a girl like me or [...]

Beautiful. Scott Schuman showcases the spirit of a man in love. The scenes walking the street with camera in hand are inspiring and courageous.
Patrice at Hirsch in Nürnberg MIMOSOPOP is still rockin’ and now there are a few contributors on board! I started this site to bring together different creative and professionals to give them a space to share their interests and showcase their own work. It has been a struggle at times for me to put keys [...]
Hello all! Long time I know, but in that time I have been having an excellent time keeping busy with work, Christmas/Hanukkah lead up, and visiting friends new shops. I know people opening shops is a tad crazy but that’s the way I tend to like people.
So which is better?
Yes it is definitely that time of year, and for a change I’m actually excited about Christmas, or what we’re calling Xmaukka, as we’re celebrating Christmas and Hanukkah’s. I think something that isn’t helping with all the excitement is the fact that I’m getting constantly bombarded with Christmas catalogues from places like Hotel Chocolate, (super [...]
So I guess I should properly introduce myself, as I have been rather rude, up until now. My name is Sophie the sack maker. The name comes from the fact I am an accessories designer, mixed with my Grandpa’s surname Sachs (as it links nicely but also he was an accessories maker and designer, so [...]

For instance, one shows a row of reversible totes turning themselves inside out. In the video above, a finger-operated skateboard glides in, around, over [...]
Levi Maestro is a class act. Had a chance to meet him when he was on the adi campus last summer. Really easy going guy who is loving life. The sense of awe is so refreshing. Great look at him in Oregon checking out Numero Uno. Maestro Knows – Episode 9 (Nike Campus) from Maestro [...]
To be honest, I’m getting a bit tired of all these collaborations. It was good business sense (and/or strategy) at the beginning of the recession — like how the power rangers morphed together to create one mighty morphed power ranger — but now it seems saturated and tired. However, a nice and creative move from this is [...]
Its Neva here, touching base for the first time as a new correspondent from Chi-city, aka, the good ol’ US of A. Look forward to hearing your thoughts on the random everythings I will post on here…. First Up, Raw Edges. Over in the UK, we have the lovely Israel Designers and RCA Graduates, Shay [...]
One word, well actually two if we’re being all correct here: ZAN ZAN http://www.zanzan.co.uk/ “Why do you like?” you may ask, well I’m going to tell you. Great retrospective designs made from quality, classic materials. For example the new range has a lot of tortoiseshell, which for me is (apart from classic black) the ultimate material for [...]
I must say I am a fan of a concept store. I believe my first memorable experience of this was Dover street market, London; when I was sent there to do a competitive shop by my, then, tutor Jane Sturgess. As soon as I enter I felt at home in some odd way, I guess this must [...]
A stunning look at the future through the lens of the past.
Hanshu – Pop Up Radio Vol.1 by Hanshu on Mixcloud
Banksy has pranked the world with his Street Art disaster movie. I was fooled so badly that I went and saw it twice just to be sure that I was getting the full experience! Seriously though, it was a really nice film. An exploration of the urban side of high art, Banksy conceives a world [...]

Lamarde is a simply thoughtful space dedicated to smoking. Clicking though the Gallery I am puffed back in time when smoking was not cool but expected and celebrated. It was good for your health, doctors and pregnant women smoked and the tobacco companies didn’t yet know that it was addictive so they were actively fighting [...]
Who owns the content you post online? We’ve all heard speculation about who really owns the content you put online. Who owns the images you put on Facebook? Who owns the emails in your Gmail account? Who owns your Twitter conversations? Or — closer yet to fashion bloggers — who owns the content you post [...]
In college I took a cool course in Environmental History and one of the most interesting sections was about the human impact on food-systems and how diets have changed over the centuries. Especially pertinent to today is agribusiness and the environmental impact. The Good Blog has a neat story about meat and people who are [...]
Spending a nice weekend in Amsterdam visiting a friend and guess how lucky I was to turn up in time for a SidLee event at the SidLee Collective here in the DAM. A live graffiti between Amsterdam and Hamburg and in the true spirit of competition each group of artists worked extra hard to take [...]
Mustaches are absolutely everywhere now and I think it is time that the ladies jump on this bandwagon. Personally I appreciate a woman with a finely groomed ‘tache. It doesn’t even have to be a real one (maybe that is what I would prefer…but who knows). Take out an eyeliner pencil and BAM! an alluring [...]
We had a great winter… a cold winter… a long winter. It’s time to move on. Spring has sprung and we feel it’s worth celebrating it with the biggest bang this year! Shake off that puffy winter jacket and dance off that grumpy winter mood! On the decks: Dj Hanshu & Tears 4 Beers with [...]
Jeff Staple has done it again and dropped an incredibly fresh collection of threads for SS10. In a saturated apparel market where the large manufacturers (bar a few) are not taking any risks and everything is plaid or black it’s exciting to see a collectionthat seems to have been put together by someone looking from [...]
Visiting New York is exciting for any cocktail zealot and with more and more places opening all over the town there hasn’t been a better time to go. Over the last couple of years exclusivity has gone beyond the 50 person snaking queue and a lot of the new-school drinking dens are trying to hide [...]
Breaking news: adidas Originals launches a wintersport first at the New York City Soho store. Apparently available at shopadidas.com!
Born in Colombia, studied at The School of Visual Arts in New York Dandi Maestre is well traveled and it is easy to see the mix of native and urban influences in her work. Some of her pieces are outrageous in size and shape using such a wide mix of material inspiration (bone, wood, shells, [...]
I remember hating my first (only) tennis camp because I had to play with one of those tiny wooden rackets, maybe if Lil John were my coach it wouldn’t have been so bad…or if I had a bad ass Fila tennis shirt. You can watch the HD version here: Vampire Weekend – “Giving Up The [...]
There is this kid with his skateboard from Tucson, Arizona. His name is Levi Maestro, his show is called Maestro Knows. He had this dream to travel the world and capture creative people, wherever he may be. Armed with his camera, a vision, social skills and huge curiosity, Levi Maestro, lives his dream and celebrates [...]
I once new a girl that swore to me she was going to quit everything and go to Italy to learn to make glass eyes. Maybe that girl is still around somewhere, maybe she will be lucky one day and stand up from behind whatever desk she is sitting at and get on a plane. [...]
I have a designer friend living in Munich who designs book covers and some of her stories, especially when being asked to design a cover for a biography of a living person, are just priceless. Tragic accounts of way too tan old men and their arm candy wives coming into a publisher’s office to review [...]
With two collections already released Mueslii New Zealand has taken an iconic puffy (puffer?) jacket and turned it into two very cool backpacks – one with and one without a front pocket. Funky colors with even better color naming; Android Green, Egyptian Blue and Carribean Green are my favorites. More pictures and contact info directly [...]
ONLINE WORLD PREMIERE. “Inside Outside” follows ZEVS and other so-called street artists from New York, Stockholm, Copenhagen and São Paulo. They all make a living off their art, but they also have an urge to exhibit their work illegally in the streets. “Inside Outside” is a film about the energy artists get when working in [...]
Red Wing Shoes is America at its finest hour. The dream of a local businessman in Red Wing, Minnesota Red Wing Shoes is still based in the same town on the upper Mississippi river valley and has third and fourth generation workers hand making boots and shoes with all of the fine details (Triple stitch [...]
That’s right, Stephen Colbert is cooler than Jay-Z.

In co-operation with System 180, BREAD & BUTTER has found the creative winter solution for the Denim Base and roofed airfield. 12,500 metres of stainless steel pipes, 30 tons of [...]
Picked up on this over at The FADER but the real gem is here. Herzog had once promised to “eat his shoe” if his friend Errol Morris ever finished a film; upon the occasion of the release of Morris’s Gates of Heaven, Herzog did just that. Watch both videos to get a real sense of [...]
I am pretty lucky to live in a place where it’s only about 3 hours drive to some really good Alpine skiing and snowboarding. Getting ready to head down to the mountains a few times this year and I’ve already heard that the valleys are dry and some parts of the Dolomites didn’t even get [...]

I first caught the news of this store on Hypebeast and can’t wait for my next trip to the Dam to check it out in person. An extremely impressive space, especially when you consider: 1. It used to be a police station 2. It took less than 5 weeks for completion 3. It uses 4 [...]
Nike SB – Today Was a Good Day – Extended Version Extended version of the Nike SB commercial “Today was a Good Day” with Kobe and Koston. Clean.
So back in July 2009 Nike opened a small store in Laguna Beach, CA. I first caught the news on Coolhunting and was really excited to see Nike testing a multibrand retail space that carries Nike 6.0, Hurley, Converse and Nike SB with a second floor customization area. Customers can go in and get a [...]
This is a pretty awesome space that was originally intended to be an apartment inside the Stary Browar. The mall itself is a patron of the arts and I like to think that this would have been an apartment for visiting artists to live and work in. A kind of living studio inside of a [...]
In celebration of the Five Two 3 collection renowned Stencil Artist Pochoir has transformed No6 into an art space for the month of December. Sitting alongside his signature ‘Pochoir x Superstar’ artists commissioned to produce work for the show include El Cartel (Spain), Claroscuro (UK), Ludo (France) Kenneth Chung (UK & Germany) and FarkFK (UK).
Finished (and I use that term loosely) setting up the space today. Merchandised a bit of the product, Y-3 and adidas SLVR. I think there will be some Comme des Garçons perfumes brought in as well. Poznan is a lucky town… Great help from and thanks to his new Poznan crew. Pictures coming when I [...]
Jumping on a plane in the morning direction Poznan Poland. Going to meet with Robert Serek (think GUERRILLA STORE) to help out with the new RS PopUp store opening on Friday! Stay tuned, pictures and more info coming over the weekend…
Maleen Dalan is a 2009 graduate of the Esmod Oslo school of Fashion Design and her graduate collection of S/S 2010 menswear is absolutely stunning. Named ‘Hermaphoditus’ the subject is Gender Confusion and it is incredible. Bringing traditionally feminine shapes and materials onto the male form she has gently brought menswear, as she rightly claims, [...]
Current TV’s music program Embedded is currently featuring Mos Def on tour in Japan performing his latest album “The Ecstatic” released in the summer of 2009. One of the most interesting things about this look into Mos Def is his strongly evident belief that as an artist without an audience his work is incomplete. The [...]
I absolutely love TED. Their tagline “Ideas Worth Spreading” is so accurate. Here is an inspirational presentation from Chris Bangle, the often maligned Chief of Design at the BMW Group from 1992 to 2009
Opening Black Friday 2009. Stüssy North America opens up shop in Seattle.

Are you a warrior? Japanese compay Rogin has created a fashion line of men’s underwear based on the traditionalarmor of the Samurai warrior.
