Burberry... dry like toast?

I expect WOW...

I expect more from the big guns because I would probably sell a family member to have Mario Testino photograph me every freakin' waking moment of the day. A clear appreciation and cohesive nature with the finer things in life Testino's photography instantly screams unforgettable and iconic.

Perhaps my eyes have been spoilt with crazy Westwood & Galiano flouncy designs that beige makes my pupils feel as though they'll hemorrhage, because for the latest installment from Burberry I'm at a loss for who to blame... Burberry or Testino because the 2008 & 2009 campaign are basically the same thing. DISSAPOINTED. It's just a different shitty celeb I don't much care for gazing wistfully/post coitally into the camera with someone of the opposite sex drenched in sepia or black & white effect and soft focused to the max to appease us. You've already done the near a tree in a beige mac/holding a beige mac shot... why must you insist on regurgitating this again? With everything so beige I feel the need to punch myself in the stomach in order to wake up from a fashion coma. I dig classic but this is just fucking lazy... I can go to Shoe Zone for copy cats and repetition season shit, be imaginative you cunts.

DON'T WASTE MY EYES ON SHIT I CAN DO ON A MAC BOOK YOU PRETENTIOUS FUCKS.

so childish at yet still amusing.

Aurevoir Couture

I know I'm late but I was in the US when this tragedy occurred, so I'm paying my respects now, as should you... also I've done fuck all on fashion in ages. SHAME ON ME.

Bye Bye Lacroix you gave us works of elaborate, ostentatious, flamboyant and magical art!



R.I.P. small business couture... After 22 years of business the French fashion house of Lacroix has announced it cannot pay it's creditors and has had to gracefully bow out.

NOOOOO I desperately wail casting a disapproving eye at my primarni floral summer dress (you know they won't go bust as they pay poor lil indian children 0.06 pence to work their filanges to the bone for our discount garms) all our... well definitely my broke arse can't resist their unethical steals. I didn't even think Lacroix counted as small business couture, I haven't even become enough of a literary G to be able to afford such an opulent statement piece of apparel. I'm gutted.

Favourite of legends such as Dita Von Teese and Sarah Jessica Parker (who used a Lacroix masterpiece wedding gown in a scene in Sex and the City the Movie) It's safe to say a tear to everyone's eye when the recession has finally reached the point of culling the beautiful and necessary! I hear through the grape vine however that he's trying to sort his ish out so we can live in sheer hope that like the phoenix and Jean Grey from X-men, he will rise again... if not burn these images into your retinas yeah.









Honestly... what the hell will we do without amazing designs like this to marvel at!? Who knows who could be next.

Nike Hypermax "Tennis Ball" & "McFly"

The Hypermax is the follow-on from last year's Hyperdunk, which if you remember, had the ultra-limited Marty McFly colourway - aka the Hyperdunk 2015. And yes, I'm still fiending for a pair.

At the moment, two colourways have been spotted on the web...

The "Tennis ball" model features a colored upper accented by a white swoosh and white midsole. Nike has even gone to the extent of coating the entire upper in a felt material reminiscent of an actual tennis ball, similar to the ALIFE x Reebok Tennis Pump from a few years back. Another key aspect of this pair is the lack of flywire technology. Defnitely very loud, but I'm down with these...



The second colourway seems to be inspired by the Hyperdunk 2015 - Grey and powder blue, plus the addition of hot pink...Dope.



Now we just need to get them to finally release the Nike Mag.

Via Sneaker Files

BONUS! Sneaker Files have also put up a list of the Nike Basketball sneakers that have been released over the years...Well, most of them...Very informative!

Nike Air Max 95 & Big Nike "Wolverine Vs. Sabretooth" Pack

EPIC FAIL!

Saying that, I'm sure they'll go well with your X-Men costumes when it's Halloween.

I'd Lick That...

I'm loving me some Tinie Tempah since I saw him perform at the HardKnock Wife night run by Goldilocks.

Style wise I.E. his tasty collection of garms and delivery (my favorite song being the one in which he's describing getting stopped by the po po... sorry for lack of track title- the name escapes my knowledgings) and other such bangers under his belt like 'Wifey' and 'Tears' basically are evidence that he's pretty great. Think I fancy him, what am I saying... I would definitely lick his face a bit.

Tinie's currently in the studio recording Sexy Beast Volumes 1-3 having just got back from the U.S. recording with M.I.A. and performing a secret gig. It's safe to say and by his own twitter account that he's on his grind hard. @TineTempah-Left the studio 6 hours a go! gettin up & Going BACK IN! Its DEFINATELY THAT TIME!!!

His new videos out, The track produced by Rymez features the fabulous M.I.A. The song is a cocktail with all the flavor of LDN with a New York twist Cast your peepers over this...

Playing soon at ILuvLive at Favela Chic May 4th amongst other artists like Professor Green, Katy B, Young Nate & Fuzzy Logic... in the immortal words of Live and Kicking, Miss it. Miss out.

Catch Tinie on Twatter, his Blog or Myspazzz

30 Seconds to Mars Kanye & Brandon Flowers...

Crazy say WHAAAAT??

So lets get it all straight... Jared Leto, Brandon Flowers and Kanye West... all holed up in Hawaii cooking up a song together. Man Kanye takes EVERYONE to Hawaii... first Hudson now the eye-liner crew... I want to go... I mean I know I don't look questionable in eye-liner neither do I have blonde flopsy hair like Hudson but I'd sure as hell have a whale of a time on the beach and I can hit some interesting notes! Any how Guy-liner and Louis Vuitton garms at dawn... I'm not sure that even makes sense... much like this whole scenario. needless to say like everyone else I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR IT.

Jared issued a lil note on his blog all casual about it like yeah tra lala la la Hawaii... yeah Kanye on my track man... pass me some eye-liner dude (no he doesn't sound like that I'm just sleep deprived and have just procured music gossip for you lot so forgive me)



JARED: "Kanye sang on a song I wrote called HURRICANE for our new 30 SECONDS TO MARS record and we experimented and explored on some other ideas as well. It was great. And he sounds amazing on the song. We may not have brought back any island tans but we did bring back the final track and it was an unforgettable trip."

KANYE: "I WAS WORKING ON THIS DOPE ASS SONG WITH JARED AND BRANDON STOPPED BY. I PLAYED THEM SOME OF THE NEW JEEZY BEATS AND BEFORE EVERYBODY BOUNCED BRANDON HOPPED ON THE KEYBOARD AND I HOPPED ON THE MPC. SHIT WAS DOPE. OH AND YES THOSE ARE SWAROVSKI CRYSTALS ON BRANDON'S SHIRT BY DRIES VAN NOTEN."

What the hell is this going to sound like!? Good??... please let the marriage of Guy-liner and Kanyeezy be out of this world... like to Mars -(gay pun... I've sent myself into a shame spiral over it already)

If you haven't heard of 30 Seconds To Mars... here is my fave song of theirs... The Kill


I used to harbour feelings for Jared... misguided, something to do with living in Bromley... I can't believe I just confessed that... FOR SHAME.

Fix yourself girl...

...You got a Camel toe!
My Best mate sent me this... It's disgustingly true to a certain degree... come on you've all seen it... I'm posting it because as you know it's heading into the British summer. I don't know what it does to some people, something about the U.V. Rays perhaps that appear to penetrate through their skulls and suddenly make things like unsightly midriffs and camel toe become common and awkwardly acceptable place...

Put that shit away babe. Ew.

Recession getting you down? Get some Shoulders to cry on...

You heard it from me first before everyone else starts banging on about it... Ok so perhaps not FIRST... I've been voguing my time away...

Super Shoulder Pads- Spring/Summer 09 they're a coming... get yours before Posh Spice other such celebrities make it well generic and before you know it your local chav/wag wannabe raid Jane Norman thus making the style redundant for everyone.



Stop your sniggering, EMBRACE IT. Yeah they were popular when everyone was glued to Dynasty but honestly whose gonna now tell me Joan Collins wasn't the shit back in the day!? fuck off all you boring arse people not willing to have a bit of fun and play about with your style yeah I know you... you who shunned the rise of the leggings, touch my leggings I'll poke your eyes out...

I'm not too sure of the mahussive wide kind of look favourite at the moment of Dolce and Nina Ricci but if you're bold enough to pull it off more power to you! Literally though more 'power' as shoulder pads at large are synonymous with power dressing women with 'drive'. So I guess if you're looking for that respect me now cos ladies you'z pimps too kind of look I suggest you dust those shoulders off. Here are some of my faves (Gianfranco, Lavin & Vuitton smacked it in my opinion)... and some of the more daring ones... mmm shoulder pads.

GIANFRANCO FERRE
LAVIN
VUITTON
DOLCHE
EMPORIO ARMARNI
GARETH PUGH

Fashion is form of art, an expression and an extension of ourselves... extend your shoulders, it has its benefits... obviously we all don't need to bleat to the same tune. But even if your against shoulders at large you can't deny the bang tidy lil perks they bestow on us... your waist and hips look smaller, your posture seems more upright and your spine straighter... Vive la Shoulder Pads... who knows might spark another revolution in this comeback!

Cassie's close shave.

...

Yup thats Cassie... Rockin' out with her new look... I'm enjoying it, wise time to do it we're heading into the summer sunshine and I'd imagine if she'd done it some months before hand the right side of her head would have caught a nasty chill... I hear that you lose the most heat from your head... Should she put sunscreen on the exposed bit of her head??

Though I like this look I'm not putting her down as the originator, the instigator... the perpetrator of the dozens of mini me scenesters all donning different variations of this cut. Alice Dellal was on that ish way before Miss Ventura.



I think I appreciate Dellal more, something about the ripped fishnet tights, Doc martins and scandelous lil Rock n Roll minis. She's a bad ass lil it girl copied about as much as Kate Moss of late... modelled for Burberry and Vivienne Westwood and she's a half pint! When your godfathers are Mick Jagger and Mario Testino 5 foot 5 and modelling is no problemo at all... hmm...
Memo to self: in next Christmas list to Santa make sure I make it known to him its not about what I know its who I know and whom am partially related to!

Carnival

Carnival Sunday took it easy.....

Freshjive Protests

JDL VS. FRESHJIVE. from Bobby Hundreds on Vimeo.

It all kicked off in Fairfax yesterday when a small group of protesters from the Jewish Defense League kicked off outside Freshjive’s Reserve store, objecting to some recent t-shirt releases from Freshjive. The tees include the depiction of former Palestine leader Yasser Arafat and Palestinian children wielding AK-47s.

Rick Klotz, founder of Freshjive gives his opinion on his blog about the negativity surrounding his designs. He also gives his reasoning on why these designs should not be perceived as anti-Semitic (Rick Klotz himself is Jewish).

I'm all for people speaking their mind, voicing their opinion and whatnot, but to go all militant like these fools in the above video, and to both verbally and physically attack members of the public? That's just plain stupid.

Bobby Hundreds has more info and pics up his blog.
