Lana Del Rey by Mario Testino for Vogue

 Lana Del Rey is making the Vogue cover, which is obviously a pretty big deal for the up- and coming singer. The March 2012 issue of Vogue UK will feature Del Rey in Louis Vuitton on the cover, along with a full shoot inside the issue by Mario Testino.  - courtesy of Highsnobiety

T by Alexander Wang Spring 2012 Campaign Featuring Die Antwoord

Yesterday, I presented the crazy new music video by South African hip-hop band Die Antwoord for their song ‘I Fink U Freeky’ and today Alexander Wang unveiled his new T by Alexander Wang campaign featuring the band.
Not only were they included into the print campaign, but they also play a major role in the video that was released along with the campaign.
“His T by Alexander Wang campaign was shot by Dan Jackson, and ubercool South African hip-hop band Die Antwoord was flown in to appear in the images and two videos; a behind-the-scenes clip and the official campaign with “Fatty Boom Boom” from Die Antwoord’s new album “Ten$ion” playing. Later this month, MTV will put both videos in rotation on “120 Minutes.” “I am part of a generation that grew up with MTV, and obviously with music, and having it all work together made it a really fun project,” Wang said.” (Via WWD)

Watch the video featuring Die Antwoord here below.

Hoorey! for Lana Del Rey



A more interesting challenge to the challenge of being a female singer in the Year of Our Lord 2012 is being mustered by Lizzy Grant, whose debut CD as Lana Del Rey, Born to Die, comes out this month. Like Florence Welch, she has red hair, though she was once blond. Indeed, in her first single as Lana Del Rey, 2010's "Gramma," she confesses to her grandmother what sets her apart: first, that she's pretty, and second, that she wants to be "the whole world's girl." She's as ambitious as Gaga herself and about as authentic; though almost freakishly beautiful, she looks like the spawn of a postoperative Nicole Kidman; and her lips — not just plumped, Bratz-style, but flat, as if she's pressing them against a window — are already more famous on the Internet than her music.

And yet it's her music that makes her interesting, because almost alone of the women who've made a conscious choice to sing from the impersonal vantage of celebrity, she uses the impersonal vantage of celebrity to make music that's personal in the extreme. Her voice is not agile and overwhelming like Florence Welch's; nor is it as aerobic as BeyoncĂ©'s or Gaga's; nor is it desultory and small, with a dollop of cuteness, like Feist's or St. Vincent's. It's low and dark, with a threatened upper register that conveys rather than sheds its emotional burdens. It makes whatever she's singing sound a little like the songs David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti wrote for Julee Cruise back in the Twin Peaks days, but those songs were about the atmospherics, and Lizzy Grant's are about whatever led her to create the entity known as Lana Del Rey. It's a different kind of becoming, at once mysterious and transparent, and if you want to see it in motion, go to YouTube and compare an early performance of "Born to Die" with a recent one at, yes, the Chateau Marmont. In the first, she's wearing a white dress that's too tight and too short, and she starts the song the way she does on the record, with a breathy wink-and-titter "Who me?" In the second, she's representing a high-end fashion house, and she's singing to a crowd that supposedly includes the likes of Kate Bosworth and Juno Temple. Pretty girls all, they no doubt thought that this pretty girl was singing about them; but really she was singing about herself, for herself, with a name that no real human being has ever had, and a fat lip that, for one moment at least, she seemed to have come by honestly.

Here's the official music video! Enjoy! I love her album a lot!

Your New Sunglasses

A new spin on a classic frame, this Alain Mikli and Subcrew collaboration — the "MR. SAY" pair of shades — is both classic and novel in way that won't have you disappating into the everyday. They are the sort of sunglasses that will make you stand out a little, turning you into style leader rather than a trend-follower.

More details at Hypebeast



French eyewear designer Alain Mikli continues to establish a strong presence within the Asian market with its latest collaborative project for an early 2012 release. Building upon the past projects with Hong Kong’s Subcrew, the latest venture sees the inclusion of Jay Chou’s retail store PHANTACi to release a new style of sunglasses, branded the “MR. SAY.” Combining the label’s like-minded mentalities, the result is a minimalist pair of black-framed sunglasses that reflect the understated style preferences of the label’s founders.

Foster the People - THE next best thing!

Foster the People is an American indie pop band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 2009.Members Mark Foster (vocals, keyboards, piano, synthesizers, guitar, programming, percussion), Mark Pontius (drums and extra percussion), and Cubbie Fink (bass and backing vocals) formed the band while in their mid-twenties.

Mark Foster originally named his band Foster & the People, but people misheard it as "Foster the People". Eventually, he took to the nurturing image it evoked of "taking care" of the people, so the name stuck.

Here's the official video (i know I'm too late for this, better late than never)



I'm obsessed with their songs right now. first song on my playlist ~ pumped up kicks! yeah!

Jeremy Scott x Swatch Fall/Winter 2011 Watch Collection

Jeremy Scott continues to work with Swiss watch maker Swatch and presents his new Fall/Winter 2011 Collection. The new line includes 4 watches – several wrist watches with safari and other colorful designs, as well as a heart shaped pocket watch. As with all Scott designs, the watch designs are colorful and loud. Yet we have to admit, that some of these are pretty nice. Our favorites include the X-Ray Vision and the leopard pattern watches. We especially like that Swatch allows Scott complete creative freedom and that the watches go beyond simply adding some color to existing models. Look out for a release in the near future.
