Supreme







Following up on our coverage of the new Supreme Spring/Summer 2010 season, we get an additional peek into looks from the new seasonal line. Featuring Jason Dill, this new set of photographs by Kenneth Cappello continues the usual Supreme aesthetic we’ve become accustomed to seeing.

Blu Wrist


CASIO G-SHOCK continues on with its “Men In…” theme as we see two new releases under the “Men In Earth Blue” collection. The two tonal offerings are based off of some of G-SHOCK’s more technical models, the GW-9200 and its predecessor, the GW-9100. Although they fall under the same pack, the colors are slightly different with the GW-9100 embodying a lighter shade of blue. The collection will be available at select retailers for the month of March.

I am not a G-Shock rocker anymore, I had mine before anybody else had theirs, me and my homie were on G-Shocks waaaayy back in the day. But I still do Like what G-Shock puts out. I am personally a Nooka Watch Fan...for now.

My Jewelry



To help launch Maia Adams’ upcoming title Fashion Jewelry – Catwalk & Couture, the book’s publisher Laurence King Publishing and colette have sought out a series of jewelers to each contribute a special 1 of 1 jewelry piece for an exhibition. A look into London-based designer Daisuke Sakaguchi’s work is presented here as he looks to a massively iconic fashion figure in Karl Lagerfeld to serve as his inspiration for the following bracelet. Some words from Daisuke himself provide a further overview to his piece. The launch party and event will take place on Saturday, March 6th at colette.

I chose to create it with the concept and theme based on a figure who I find extremely fascinating, he is Karl Lagerfeld. It is an Identity bracelet made of 925 Sterling Silver with a Rhodium plated finish. The sculpted front panel spells “KARL” and the entire bracelet is theatrical, eye catching, intricate and slick to capture and reflect Karl Lagerfeld’s unique style and sophisticated attitude. The back of the front panel is hand engraved with my brand name “THE 27 LIFE” with the hallmark stamp. It also has a specially made spring clasp with my name Daisuke Sakaguchi laser etched on to it with a second hallmark stamp.

*Laughs at seeing Bruce Willis* Great Video.

Dont Drown




Sometimes I drown myself in others success. Its def not a good thing I start comparing myself like man why am I not successful and they are, or at least on their way. I try not to do it but I notice I do it unknowingly which is worse. You see people you went to skool with like on T.V. and puttin out things and I am like man that person was or always has been giving everything why cant i just be given the key. Im not perfect although I try to be the perfect human all the time, but I guess I just have to be patient and watch everyone else around me "blow up" first. My friend told me she was going to NYU to audition and I know shes gonna do well and I am proud of her shes on her way to being great in life, and Im like man I wish it was that easy for me. I just realized I am differnet at least when I finally do become successful it'll be worth it, and I will be able to be humbl eabout everything I achieve and all glory goes to God. So people out there dont sit around drowning your self in some elses success, do something yourself and make your self successful. Resuscitate your self and do what you have to do.

Amazing








I have to admit, I was pretty amazed when I came across this work. But then I was more amazed when I read that the designer was only 18. Dutch born, Rik Oostenbroek , may be young, but he’s got some mad skill already, and will presumably get better with time.
Although, it seems he emulates the hot style or trend going around in design right now, particularly seen amongst art groups such as depthcore and the KDU . No doubt, at some point this kid will find his place in the design universe. Natural talent, like his, will just mature over time, looking forward to seeing future projects a little further down the road. For now, take a look below for some selected pieces from his portfolio.

Nike Toki




Following last month’s release of the Toki ND Black/Volt, Nike has now made the medium grey/blue sapphire Toki ND available at select retailers including 21 Mercer Street.

The Nike Toki is appreciated and well-received because of its simplicity. With that said, this particular colorway undoubtedly follows the silhouette’s lead. Its base is smothered in grey nubuck and possesses white trimming in certain sections. The blue sapphire accents, seen on the tongue branding and line design above the white sole, give this shoe a nice, contrasting color scheme. As stated earlier, you can puchase a pair at 21 Mercer Street. Is this one of the better Toki colorways to date?


May I pease have these.

Phresh











Mary Katrantzou created quite a stir with her perfume bottle collection last spring ‘09 however, as much as we like her novelty , we also know that highly graphic clothing runs the risk of looking repetitive and of course getting knocked off . Sara Mower said it best: ” Her problem, rightly anticipated, is that novelty quickly becomes cliché—and a cheap T-shirt dress on a market stall. To keep things interesting, Katrantzou knows she has to do something more sophisticated than a placement print on a shift dress.” As much as we can see the risk she runs into with her collection, we hope this is will not be a precursor to its end…Imgs via vogue.es.
