‘Launched in September in two colourways, Black and Bronze, fans of the Nike Blazer will be happy when they see the Blazer swoosh and sole treatment incorporated into this new Nike Dunk AC Premium. Available now at Shesha & Nike Sportswear stores.’

Ray-Ban :: Never Hide Playlist: Album Cover Design Competition

Tom Kennedy — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 10:45:31 +0000

Ray-Ban recently launched an amazing competition that we just got wind of and it’s got us quite excited! There’s not much time left but we’ve seen designers whip out some amazing work in shorter and we know you’ve got what it takes to get this done! Details after the jump!

The Lowdown!

This Summer, Ray-Ban – the world’s leading eyewear brand – is releasing a limited edition compilation disc including original music from some of South Africa’s most influential bands and artists. Ray-Ban and music have always evolved together – icons in music have a long history of making Ray-Ban eyewear a part of their identity, and in turn Ray-Ban’s have become a musical icon in their own right. Who can forget the way that Bob Dylan wore his classic Wayfarers whilst telling the world that ‘times are a-changing’. Still today, musicians of all genres choose to see the world through Ray-Ban lenses, and share the spotlight with them.
To celebrate the strong association between Ray-Ban and South African musicians, Ray-Ban is reaching out to all local creatives asking them to design the cover for this compilation: the ‘NEVER HIDE Playlist’. The most original submission for the competition will be displayed in over 400 retail outlets nationwide, and end up in the hands of anyone who buys a pair of Ray-Ban’s between the 15th of October 2011 and the end of November 2011. The winner, and his/her friends, will also be entitled to “party-like-a-rockstar” with all the compilations’ featured musicians at the invite-only launch event.

Guidelines

Submissions must include a pair of Ray-Ban’s (think laterally!), and the copy ‘NEVER HIDE Playlist’ must be displayed. The rest is up to the designer. All entries need to be in the form of a 15cm x15cm 300 dpi JPEG or PDF file (file-size must not exceed 3MB) and must be sent to Ray-Ban@Luxottica.co.za. For the duration of the competition, the best submissions will be posted on Facebook and the winner will be announced by Friday 16 September 2011.

deadmau5 x PUMA Capsule Collection

Tom Kennedy — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 10:20:04 +0000

I just stumbled across this on my usual daily internet search and at first I wasn’t going to post it, until I realised the video was actually shot at LED Festival – Deadmau5 in the Park. I had the pleasure of attending the festival on our recent European trip, Anthea who’s been documenting her travels on Dont Party was also in attendance [Red more on her travels here.]

Watching Deadmau5 live is certainly a memorable experience and he’s undoubtedly established himself as one of the largest if not the largest electronic acts in the world so it’s not surprise he’s joining forces with major brands such as Puma. The new line was developed by the two and consists of both apparel and footwear, the line looks to release exclusively through select Foot Locker locations on August 1, 2011.

So as with most things we’ll probably never see it here in SA..

I Want: Ziiiro Aurora Watch

Tom Kennedy — Mon, 23 May 2011 11:34:45 +0000

There are a whole bunch of watch manufacturers out here trying to create new and innovative ways to tell the time, some of them are so complex you need a training session to get the hang of the damn things. Ziiiro on the other hand have released an awesome new watch, with an innovative yet “standard” way of telling the time. The watch also looks amazing and has been added to the ever growing, “I want list.”

“The Aurora displays time using two transparent gradient discs, blue color representing the hour and yellow displaying the minute. By overlapping both gradients, it creates a new array of green color that will catch attention…”

The watch comes in white and grey and is priced at EUR 129.00. You can pre-order it here.

The Kate Moss Portfolio and Other Stories *NSFW

Tom Kennedy — Fri, 20 May 2011 10:18:17 +0000

Danziger Projects is holding an exhibition to pay homage to one of the world’s most influential models Kate Moss, as well as announce their move to 527 West 23rd Street, New York. Seeing as most of you are based here in South Africa and we’ll never even step foot in the exhibition, I thought I’d share some of the photo’s from the exhibition featuring the amazing Kate Moss for your ocular enjoyment.

The photo’s were shot by the world’s photographic elite including Chuck Close, Annie Leibovitz, Glen Luchford, Mert & Marcus, Terry Richardson, David Sims, Mario Sorrenti, Juergen Teller, Mario Testino, Inez Van Lamsweerde + Vinoodh, Matadin and Bruce Weber.

Terry Richardson the world renowned photographer who seems to spend more time in front of the camera than behind it has directed a new commercial for international fashion brand MANGO featuring Kate Moss. The ad titled the “Great Escape” features a self indulgent Richardson and Kate Moss robbing a Paris MANGO fashion store in Terry Richardson masks, I don’t really get it…
