generic man: naval white canvas shoes

in a world of brands it pays to be a generic man. shoes from the generic man, naval white canvas with lusciously soft leather interior, and the casual summer in indigo blue, with white leather laces. zero branding on the outside and detailed craftsmanship make these just that much more special. designed by ex generic costume designer kevin carney. check out the website or his store which we wrote about earlier in silver lake los angeles: mohawk shop general store. by dd

RIP freddie mercury: living on my own

saw a documentary on him the other night, and i was thinking how funny that as a young boy, it never occurred to me that freddie mercury was gay. i mean the band’s name, his elaborate outfits, etc. were all obvious cues… the fans, as with most rock bands, were quite manly and it’s funny to imagine the dilemmas he had to go through in his performances. in any case, he was a genius and as cheesy as this pop song may sound i have to say when i heard it and saw the video (for the first time last night) i kinda liked it. there is something terribly sad and beautiful about freddie mercury. by dd

hermes – koto bolofo

ok, i’m really into seeing what’s in the back of brands, studios or people’s place. a voyeur bad habits that i share with a lot of people around considering the success of the selby or all the campaign that used him lately. so this is where the issue is, i’m growing very tired of
seeing brands jumping at every trends. it’s been two or three years that the selby guy is used over and over again in every possible way… come on guys! anyway hermes is doing what they done for many more years than the others and in a far subtler and classier way. it’s shot by koto bolofo and it’s published by steidl… can’t go wrong. more. by pp.
