Foundation video? Nothing like a little Mixtape2 and King Crimson to start my Leap Day..

Early nyc rippage. what a find.

I can hardly understand what's going on. Good thing the visuals are pretty clear.

'89 Alphabet city ambiance.

New York- where the sidewalk was once an endless swap meet. RIP

HATATTACK

From Milan to New York, Fashion week photos from Vogue and Style Bubble. Sifting through like 200 photos, it turns out that I am really partial to people that like to wear hats and sweaters. I guess because hats and sweaters are what heavily populate my closet aka what my roommate calls "clothesworld". I still think it's funny when fashion institutions like Vogue call this "street style" because it suggests that there is almost a non specific type of person they are shooting. Street style has largely become the style of the perceivable fashion 1%ers-stylists, models, designers, and elitish industry type folk. Whatever though, I get really stoked on color and texture doesn't matter who's body it's on. Maybe street style is interpreted differently to different people. And not surprisingly, I'm not on the same page. To me, street style is more along the lines of the weird dude lurking outside the McDonalds on Delancey and Essex in a full on white fur coat and a white fur winter hat with albino crocodile shoes. Or these two older Spanish dudes on the train that were wearing practically the same ensemble- intricate, laser cut looking Cazals with gold rims, metal in their teeth, beaver hats with ear flaps, and scary ass mugs. I mean come on, how easy is it to wear all black and like statement Prada shoes with an Alexander Wang bag? Maybe I should start instagramming this NY shit and call it street style of the 99%. Or at least the 20% of people that inspire me to not give a shit about what I'm wearing as long as I like it. People that can pull off insane kits that you don't ever see on Vogue should be regarded as urban folk heroes.

Stoops bike thief in the l.e.s. If you've ever gotten your bike jacked, I guess this is the suspect profile. People be fucking up nice looking bikes in their grey sweatpants! Acting like that bike owes him money..

LeeLin Blackmon. I'd like this shirt way better if there wasn't a huge medallion necklace that said TFL# on it.

I fully support friends' bands. Stoked on this video for Rahill's band-Habibi. Animation done by "the weirdettes" who have also done a few videos including one for No Age.
