happy days


Nothing like a light drizzle to start the Sunday morning. Never one to make you feel neglected, yours truly will try to clear the backlog of stuff in my pc just for ya. Get ready for a broadband connection if u haven't already got one, lotsa pix's...

Above shows the elmo connection for Supreme's new line of tees you have not doubt already seen. I'm looking for theRammellzee caps though, hookups anyone?

Next...

Jupiter (Supreme LA) and Andrew (Invisible:Man) as they appear in Stussy Fall catalog. how cute is Ocean?

Look for fantastic jackets for the breezy winter...

Look for the Scram jkt and the super-awesome Digi-camo!


BlackFlag - Extream Prejudice

This has been bubbling for a while now. Who better than the masters of military/streetwear W)taps to head the venture? NBHD and W)taps contribute to the new off-shoot BlackFlag. Attention straight to the details, no one does it better than the Japanese. Blackflag will feature unique fabrics for the military look. NBHD mixes their motorcycle/punk feel, while W)taps feed the wool/tweed/cut'n'sew couture for good measure. Let the pics speak for themselves...

NBHD for BlackFlag


Wtaps for BlackFlag

Nothing much to add, 'cept the movie is hot, and i should be muttering Jessica Alba in my sleep for some time to come...

New edition
Its been consecutive 13hour-days for me and i'm flat out. But its still no excuse for me to neglect about the latest issue of Streetwear Today.



Steven and his merry men (and girls) have been busy the whole summer bringing you guys the next edition of their "magazine". Why is that in apostrophe, you may ask? 'Coz simply, i don't think the word "magazine" suits STW2D (the abbreviation of course, aren't i smart?). Its more like an industry publication, meticulously sifted through to strip away the artificial gloss that is known these days as "hype", bringing you the insights to the who wears the label, the people behind the label, and if they could, what the label is made of....ok, so i made the last bit up, but you should know what i mean.

So what will this issue bring? Besides featuring Mr SB (known as The One to hype-kids) himself on the cover, peek at Tenderloin's and Twelve Bar's backgrounds, a photo collage of Jeff's UXA, Jakuan and 360toy group, store features including Grandism, Livestock and Wellgosh, the list goes on....
Let the pics do the talking:



So head to STW2D and get your subscriptions in and let them know you heard it from here!


Luigi's Diamonds & Bones are churning stuff out real quick, check their new tee for Phase 2:


They have some cool skateboard stickers as well, go email him for more information:

Peep the new adidas !sign series (the same series that brought the infamous bathing ape x adidas superstars). This time, with the resurgent Michael Cromer aka MCM!

crazy stuff yet again...my pal Ibrahim will sure to love this! check Being Hunted news section for more info.

peace

Check out these lovely postcards, "Bliss" by creative boutique JunkFlea. Founded by design couple Andrea and Gerard, driven by love, passion and determination to create the best designs and user experience possible.

You can get them from The Asylum Singapore or online from Green Donkey.

Speaking of which, the Green Donkey Project is a e-zine compiled by the abovesaid JunkFlea, to present an archive of original creatives that you should know about. Read the "issues" to find out about the un-conventional designs, labels and individuals. Fascinating.
