Slimane Diary

JULY 24, 2008

Hedi Slimane, previous art director at YSL and the mind behind Dior Homme. Recently I came across his blog diary, featuring hundreds of pictures from around the world. Here are a few of my favorites, barely touching the surface of his archive.

Buseyism

JULY 21, 2008

GotVMail just launched a new advertising campaign with Gary Busey as their advocate, in a series of shorts. Here, Busey figures out what it takes in order to become an entrepreneur or maybe it's that he has completely lost his mind. Either way, it's amazing.

SOFT

JULY 21, 2008

Saturday the JoyRich crew and I hit up Hard to drop some gear to some of the artists.. The lineup, similar to what we've seen before but worth the trip..

40 minute parking situation, 4 different lines for 20 different wrist bands..... 2 hours later losing everyone..

This guy was amazing he told me that chain cost him 20 G's, when in fact he was trying to hustle kids out of $40 tickets..

Visuals

JULY 17, 2008

I know I've talked about MGMT before, but I came upon a high resolution version of their Electric Feel video.. One of the cooler videos I've seen, the direction is on point along with the weird pixie dust animation, and orange crush being pounded out of 40's, haha. Check it HERE. (Give it second to load)

Once again we're collaborating with a Los Angeles based music group, this time it being JDavey.. With their new album just hitting stores we thought it would be time to release ten pairs of JDavey kicks at their URB Magazine launch party. Last night the first 10 customers buying their CD recieved a 50% off coupon for the Stampd' LA kicks..

Check out J*Davey

Fishy Fourth

JULY 07, 2008

Long days and nights have lead to slow updates, but here is a quick recap from the nations independence day.. Miguel (Barracuda) had a few people over at his (and my dream) loft downtown.. Toy admiring, water balloon security guards, and a 360 angel of LA can make for a fun fourth..

Late Night Jams

JULY 02, 2008

Ok, so the good majority of nights I'm up late working on either shoes or some side project. When I'm not upsetting my neighbors with itunes it's MTV Jams (something that I constantly get scrutinized for, given my weakness for rap).. Here are a few vids MTV Jams entertained me with tonight.. Haha these are pretty funny, so good.
