Here are some pics from my life and everyday experiences that I happen to capture on my phone. Fresh dressed people, art, music concerts, whatever. I cant wait to hit the Getty.

We Are The World 25 Remix Official Video

Okay...Jay-Z was not apart of this because he felt this song should jus be left alone like Michael Jacksons Thriller. I would have to agree with him tho, not because its Jay just because he was telling the truth. The Remix is not as bad as I thought but I think is was all over the place I mean there was autotune, and rapping and different styles of voices, just all different things. It wasnt as bad as people made it seem tho. I do agree tho it shudd have been left alone and just kept to michael jackson. I only heard Michael in there like three rimes. I can only love it becuase it benefits others. If its for a good cause why not.

Air Max 90

The Nike runners keep on coming. While we’ve seen a ton of AM1s and even a special pair of AM95s released lately, these two Air Max 90s are set to release for the ladies in the very near future.

The first pair uses a navy leather construction on the mudguard and quarter panels, while matching textiles fill out the toe box. Bright pink appears on the tongue and liner, while the white midsole matches up with the laces, Swoosh and midfoot accents. The second pair relies on nubuck and mesh for its base in light grey and black. Teal is used to brighten up the simple build on the midfoot, heel and window surround, among other places

Y-3

There’s lots of discussion out there about designers making their runway shows more democratic by live-streaming them, but at least until the technology improves, aint no way that is replacing actually being there. Case in point Y-3. In reading the reviews on Style, I discover that Yohji was clearly dealing with some anger management issues when he designed this collection because it included tee-shirts which read, “33 Years in Prison” and “23 Years in Prison – 20 = Y-3,” none of which are captured in the photos. And at the end of the show, which was backdropped by Paul Simon’s “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover,” Yohji punches a male boxer and then is himself punched out by a woman! Anway, I like this collection because it reminds me of my partner, Samia, all snuggy and layered up….stuff you can hide from the world in if you are so inclined.Y-3 is on the run from the gloom and doom of the world. Armed with tongue-in-cheek humor, splashes of bright color, and intriguing aesthetic contrasts, the label’s Fall/Winter 2010 collection brought a healthy dose of fun back to the runway. Presented on Sunday, February 14th, as part of New York fashion week, the show sought an escapist route to the future of sport style.
Y-3 has always melded technology with tradition, and never has that been more apparent. For Fall, the label known for sport elegance took inspiration from bespoke English tailoring, reinterpreting classic shapes in futuristic materials, or alternately, classic materials in futuristic shapes. The result was a kinetic and thoroughly modern take on sportswear. The collection, presented for the second season at the Park Avenue Armory, also captured a playful mood with an industrial laser light show by the British art collective UVA. The show closed with a bang and the superhero theme came full circle as Mr. Yamamoto and a masked male model duked it out in front of the audience. Yamamoto emerged as the winner after the hardcore scuffle. That is, until tough-as-nails supermodel Freja Beha knocked the designer back down to the ground.

Valentine

This Valentines Day will be great, I'm just gonna be working on stuff, and being posted. I hope all of the couples out there stay together for a very long time. I used to hate Valentines Day honestly. I was one of those man I hate valentines day because its all lovey dovey. Now that I am older I think valentines day is prolly one of the best Holidays. Especially in these days of time. There is so much hate in the world that no one even bothers to care or love anymore. Its about every ones own personal life. LOVE doesn't necessarily mean you have to have a Girl or Man. It is just to love others. Period. Love sum one besides yourself, care about some one else besides your self. So for that reason alon I love Valentines day. Im sure the Haters wont take a day off but even they will be loving some one. So for all those beautiful couples out there have a Happy Valentines Day, play Justin timberlake Until the End of Time, R-Les, and Jodeci lol. Valentines day should be once a week so people know how to love in this wreck less world. As for me and my Valentine, there is honestly only one special women I would like to be my Valentine, just go on a date one time and I promise she will be mine forever. Not only will I keep her to myself Ill put my friends on with her friends. We can all be friends. Her name is Mrs. Success if your wondering who I am referring to. For all those out there who are solo and cringe when someone ask what are you doing for valentines and you feel like no one likes you, don't trip there is ALWAYS someone out there who notices you and loves you. If you still don't believe me ask Jesus Christ. So I wish every one a Happy Valentines Day. I will see everyone Monday.

Let me Get These

We have already gave you a heads on two big releases for tomorrow such as the Air Jordan 2010 and the Air Jordan 1 Hi Retro “Silver Anniversary”; however, we couldn’t end the day without reminding you of arguably the biggest release of 2010 so far.

Tomorrow, February 13th, 2010, Nike will release the highly-anticipated “Copper” Nike Air Foampsite to select retailers across the nation. At midnight (yes, tonight), Nike will unleash this sneaker exclusively at the New York Foot Locker on 120 West 34th Street. Therefore, if you’re in the New York area when the clock strikes 12, why not get your pair early? Is this a definite purchase for you?

Its B-a-n-a-n-a-s

For the Fall 2010 Lamb collection all the iconic Gwen themes like plaid and military were present and as always, freshened via current silhouettes like one-shoulder tops and harem-influenced bottoms. It’s a sharp, very-ready-to-wear collection. Clearly Lamb’s issues are not the fashion as it appears on the runway, but more its positioning at retail, where it still seems to be struggling to find a pricepoint that makes sense for its level of cache. It’s never easy to crossover from one lane of success to another (”I’m a rock icon, no wait, a designer!”), though I give Gwen a lot of credit for have more success than most. She is one tough, never-give-up cookie.

3.1

The 3.1 Philip Lim 2010 fall collection enjoy its unveiling this week with a penchant for leather and multi-material paneling. Some notable uses of leather resulted in some texturized offerings over both coats and a more unorthodox bulletproof vest-styled piece. A progression through the runway show revealed a lighter palette of colors from the initial use of black to khakis and grays, an area which went hand-in-hand with a multi-material theme

Rhi-Rhi

Rihanna is on the move, promoting herself and her music in Seoul, Korea. At a recent appearance she wore a very adorable Jeremy Scott snow leopard hoodie. I like how it’s not an all-over print. There are sections that are spot-free, similar to a real-live leopard. And while the ears are sort of cute (just sort of), I feel like I could live without the tail this top features.

On another note, have you seen her new video for “Rude Boy”? When we posted the fashion stills, a reader said it reminded her of M.I.A. And indeed, the graphics used in the video are clearly inspired by Ms. Swagger-Like-Us’ early videos.

Click through for a close-up on the candy-delish mani RihRih picked up in while in Japan, just prior to Seoul, and of course the tail!

ALl White Everything

The Nike Air Max 1 comes in the iD studio all grey colorway, entitled “Try On”. The sneaker will be released in very limited quantities at 21 Mercer on February 17th.
