obsessed with ito

i don’t really know who is ito and it’s not as if his website was really helping to that matter but his pictures, man… they’re absolutely fab! if i was living in the place i want to live in, there would be a “beyond reason” size print from the man on the wall! and on a less capitalist note, i think what the guy captures is really different from the rest of the crowd but keep a really edgy and modern look… can’t get enough of it by pp.

what does o.k. really mean?


while the origins are disputed, historian, inventor of the red tape and famous architect AR.S, has this explaination to offer: “o.k. is a historic word used in multiple languages and across the world, its quite a phenomena in itself. it was originally used by U.S. airforce after multiple sorties to communicate the outcome of the fighters upon return. O.K. stood for zero (O.) killed (K.) which apparently only accounted for our boys and not the enemies and that, in such a case, was quite a positive outcome.” by dd+as

the descendents: milo goes to college

an ode to singer milo aukerman‘s nerdiness in high school, this album cover is iconic to anyone who thrives on so cal’ melodic hardcore punk rock especially from the early 80’s. the descendents debut album “milo goes to college” was released in 1982 before milo left the band to pursue a phd in biochemistry. this album still ranks on the higher end of punk rock, alternative, and hardcore top album lists today. by jr

The XX

a very minimal album cover that does not do justice to romy madley croft’s voice. i had the chance to see them live and their music is exceptional. on the other hand this blocky white “x” over the black background is an image that can trigger curiosity as to what this band is all about. by a.c.

supersexy superfine: brandless jeans that fit

lucy pinter and flora evans are the london girls behind superfine


it’s hard to miss when you make super fit jeans, sans branding with hidden details, and put em on irina, doutzen and missy… the problems begin when everyone and their mother wants to rock & roll, but are just not ready to starve for it. while the duo behind superfine jeans have been at this since 2003 one can only wonder how much longer will the skinny last… i’m already onward into my pijamas… superfine jeans of london get em while you can. by dd

they don’t shoot horses do they?


hermés is probably one of the only luxury brands with something to own. it’s quite nice to see them milking the horse and the orange ribbon (in other instances) and how it actually works when they do it. by dd

straggling down new york’s financial district one would expect to find dinosaur bones scattered around from the jurassic financial era, but not a live, hopping, wooly underneath the woolworth buidling!! everyone from waris, to mark borthwick, to karen ellison have graced its thrift-store decor which seems to grow and accumulate with each of my visits there. the wooly has officially become the go-to place for recapturing the intimate parties that gave new york the old reputation it once had. this last saturday fashion designer camilla staerk along with her friends, victor glemaud and hanuk hosted a small but super fun gathering. as expected an eclectic and fun crowd of friends coupled with good music (may kwok & rod) melted the night hours away. all photo credits go to our charming host hanuk. by xy
