Available in silver, black, gold, and pink these “Sta” Carbiners from A Bathing Ape are sick! breaking away from the traditional nautical mould that we have seen around for years, these Sta’s are a welcome surprise, Sta’s in your eyes anyone??
There seems to be a shift in the trends for male modes these days, I’ve noticed a lot of designers are using older men which is fantastic since most of that target demographic is the one with the most purchasing power and gives its customers faces they can relate with which in turn drives sales, New York based fashion label DQM went s step further and used their staff and friends to create their 2010 Spring Lookbook, the results speak for themselves, giving the brand a raw urban feel that is the essence of New York.
I wonder what it’s like being a luxury hotel in a major city, constantly raising your game to be top dog, with a new crop of hotels creeping up left, right and center and people looking to get the best value you’ve got to be consistent, imaginative, bespoke and thorough amongst other things to make sure people come back.
Luxury hotels come and go, very few stand the test of time, they often get lazy at the top and let standards slip, but there’s one place in London that still epitomizes cool even after all these years, The Metropolitan. From the moment you step in there’s no mistaking the attention to detail and effort that gives the place its cool aesthetic, located at Park Lane this is truly one place that will have customers coming back for years to come.
Tony Stark would turn red with jealousy if he saw this, and that’s without the suit! loaded with every bell and whistle you could possible fit on 2 wheels the 2012 LZH Motorcycle Concept Motorcycle by designer Igor Chak has it all, from hybrid power to airbags, a front crumple zone, 4G internet connectivity, night vision, traction control, magnetic brakes, 140hp V-Twin Engine and a 6 Speed Clutch with available Auto Transmission to name a few. Interesting it is but surely checking your Facebook status while speeding down the motorway can’t be good! A great concept never the less.
Bizarre that a good friend of mine were talking about all the spare wires that you can collect every time you buy something electronic, before you know it you have a tub of unused cables that look like medusa’s head. well here’s what you can do with them. looks like a mummified electronic store employee if you ask me.

Apart from the fact that the guy in the last picture looks like he has had far too much beer and is probably stood in the queue to use the loo the other pictures seem rather tasteful, taken by Slimane himself at Coachella 2010 it demonstrates the transition the designer has made from behind the clothes to behind the lens. What were your Coachella experiences this year?
