Cosmic Crack Ontour
Is it just me or is this Cosmic Crack Ontour stuff a pretty blatent P.A.M. rip-off? They say it was designed after this ‘haunted’ unfinished hotel in North Korea, and I guess I can see it. I just don’t buy it considering P.A.M’s last few collections which Ontour has mashed up and called their own.
Kilobads
Isn’t your look book supposed to make people want to wear the clothing? Maybe I’m just not the target market for Kilogoods these days, but I can’t image the market for French/South American Tektronic dancers is really big enough to go after? Whatever the case the new Kilogoods stuff is pretty whack. So you made a mediocre line, you still have good distribution and a solid stock list, as far as I know. So please just hire somebody who at least knows what looks really bad. I’m not saying you need in enlist Scott Sternberg to style the shoot. They don’t have to be crazy good, just not crazy. There’s always next season…maybe. Images from Highsnobiety
Next Level Sh*t
I came across this fall look book by Kts for the upcoming season. I didn’t want to put up on the Dailys as news because I didn’t want somebody mistake me for liking it. Because I don’t. It’s probably the worst thing I’ve ever seen. Unless I get a job as M.I.A’s hypeman there is no time I would ever think of putting this stuff on. I hope that goes for every other male out there too. So is it art? Or is it really terrible, or maybe even terrible art? My vote is on the latter. I think the designer has watched Alice in Wonderland a few too many time, on drugs. Look at the rest…
Mash x Cinelli
Mike Martin just posted up some shots of a possible Mash x Cinelli Team frame collaboration. One of the shots has Garrett Chow’s name along with the Mash logo on a spicy Vigorelli colorway. I don’t know exactly what the end product will be here, but no doubt something interesting. Mike always executes his work in the highest fashion so if there is a collaboration in the works between the track bike heavy weights it will be something special.
Yikes!
You know that Beatles lyric, “all the lonely people, where do they all come from?” Well, apparently Canada. I was just checking out Alexa’s website traffic rankings and took this shocking little screenshot. The top 100 websites in Canada. You see it? The 27th most popular site in Canada. There, just behind Amazon.com but ahead of CNN.com. Pretty crazy.
Reel Style: Hypebeast TV
This is dope, I like the style they shot the video, and it’s funny to hear people’s thoughts on their own style. Convertibles n’ shit.
Tailor in Style: Harsh or Hilarious?
I came across this website a few months back and did a random check up on it last night. The site is about shirts, tailored shirts, how to wear them, and apparently how not to. The blogger rips into an Indian man who hasn’t been up on his blogs lately I guess. The writer gets into three different ways that make your shirt look bad. 1) Don’t use your pockets as storage 2) Avoid physical work 3) Don’t have too many stains on your shirt. I would say most of these are obvious, if your not working on the plains of Africa. The article is harsh in that it’s making fun of this poor fellow who probably only owns one shirt, but at the same time is hilarious. It’s hard to say the authors intentions, but it is worth a read.
