Artist Series

Stussy is doing big things right now. Their support of the MASH crew was what turned me back on to the the clothing designer. I just recently found out that they are working with artists to create a line called, appropriately enough, their artist series. The newest shirts released come from the illustration works of Andrew Pommier. They are real fresh and have got some hot illustrations on them. I like what Stussy is up to.

McQueen as god

Lately I've been spending my days scoping out old Alexander McQueen runway shows on youtube.

(This reminds me of a Matthew Barney movie, but in a better way.)
I know the McQueen Puma collaboration is old news, but for those of you who haven't seen, and have enough money to buy me something nice- check these out. Their collection is mostly inspired by the anatomical components of the human foot; it makes sense, until you look at these shoes. Crazy McQueen.

alienz

I don't watch the Grammys, but if i did I probably would have teared up during Kanye's performance to his late mother, "hey mamma," and then immediately wondered how many conventional weapons it would take to penetrate Kanye's alien space suit, which I can only assume he picked up during his last departure from Earth. Kanye's style is otherworldly, and I'm whipping up my alien space suit right now (DIY space suit party?), and I can't wait for the kids in my neighborhood to start crankin in one of those.
(PS Vince bitched me out for not including the fact that Daft Punk is looking more alienish than Kanye, but in my defense, Daft Punk always look like they are from outer space, and are thus too weird to talk about or look at.)

Fresh Patterns

I have a huge crush on houndstooth pattern, yet for some reason it remains hard for me to find guys clothing created with this style. Luckily Nike is hooking shit up with their new "Houndstooth Pack." That's right, three different Air Max styles are getting real fresh with some houndstooth pattern. I don't know where you can pick these up yet, but make sure to check them out for sure.

bratz clothes

I have recently been invested in researching the "'tween" market for some of my art projects, so I should not be surprised that Lyric Culture, an adult clothing line (apparel and accessories for beatles, david bowie, etc. fans) has just dropped their "'tween" clothing line for fans of American Idol. The apparel will be inspired by American Idol imagery (someone tell me what this means) and pop and r&b songs that were performed on the show. 7-16 year old girls will, as of this month, be able to pick up Lyrix clothes at 157 different Macys, or shop at their website.

"Macy's truly understands the concept of celebrity-driven and licensed product," said Hanna Rochelle Schmieder, President of Lyric Jeans, Inc. "They are the perfect retail outlet for the LYRIX line and we look forward to building it with them for many years to come," she continued.
Unfortunately their clothes make girls look like life-sized Bratz dolls, ironically, the only doll company to break the 'tween market.

This Is Important

Let's get real as hell for a minute. There are a few things in my life that I'm all about. Fashion happens to be towards the top of that list(though I don't have the cash to accommodate my taste). Along with the fashion love I have a thing for fresh ass artists. Let's put the two together shall we?

Reebok has commissioned some of Jean-Michel Basquiat's work to use in their recreated Reebok NPC UK sneakers. It's sad that Basquiat is no longer with us and that someone is making bank with his art, but at least his work is being put to a fresh use. You can try to get your hands on a pair starting February 5, 2008.
