lady gaga: once again fighting for the good of all mankind

thanx terry, but no thanx lady gaga. doubt if anyone who’s actually reading this blog will disagree with your “so controversial” message but will you please shut up and stick to your deeply progressive pop lyrics?  you know, like that line “baby is a bad boy with some retro sneakers”…which made such an impression on the youth movement of today.  we’re a little sick of every two bit celebrity taking up “a cause” to blatantly further their career.

first off the bigots in washington who are creating such absurd laws don’t exactly listen to your albums, let alone your advice.  secondly, half the members of the senate who voted in the law are probably closet-case-queens pandering to their redneck voters. they are doing exactly what you’re doing. in other words, doing whatever it takes to further their career. if you guys actually have a brain to think and care for something, how is it that all the concerns are around such agreeable issues within your audiences? that’s because your PR handlers tell you what causes to take on. god forbid any of you stand-up for something you care about that happens not to be popular within your “customer” base, like zero population growth, G8, indigenous people of (insert country here)… i guess those guys don’t buy concert tickets, or do they? by xy

TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL

YSL manifesto with Daria Werbowy

must say i hate the usual bullshit brand videos. the typical, glorifying, amateur, behind-the-scenes of kate (at best) swinging her hair in the wind; but, inez and vinoode rocked this one. the locked down camera, dead simplicity, gorgeous silhouettes of stefano pilati, “invisible” track and daria in the best wig hairdo i’ve ever seen. drooooool. almost as hot as the fella kuti video in his trunks. by dd

marc newson – gagosian




not a real amateur of mister newson design that to me is as dated as karim rashid’s and anyone designing donuts like flying cars or so… but apart from that, how cool is that to be able to design such a wide range of things that you can put in your portfolio a pair of sneakers as well as a spaceship and almost anything that comes in between? by pp.

shang xia – hermes


uber luxury brand hermes rocked the fashion world opening a new brand, it’s a first time for hermes, and none the less, it’s a chinese brand, called shang xia and it’s only sold in shanghai for the moment.
rather surprising but after reading some articles about this strange team, i figure out both brand share a hardcore interest in craftsmanship and tradition. so if any other brand had done the same deal, i would think of them as opportunist but coming from hermes, i’m just really wondering… (read the article, it’s interesting) by pp.
