Permanent Vacation permalinkDesign collective Permanent Vacation has an office on the third-longest street on the west coast of Sweden, and it’s decor was inspired by an R.Kelly song.

Gossip permalinkGossip‘s much-hyped Rick Rubin-produced album isn’t available in the States until 6/23. And while many die-hards saw Rubin’s involvement as just another example of mainstream co-opting indie’s best acts, if the first single, “Heavy Cross,” is any indication, they’ve hit this one out of the park. Sweaty, beer-soaked dancing, anyone? |
From Los Angeles 05/04/09Maestro Knows permalinkFilmmaker, artist, skate rat and all-around lovable guy Levi Maestro gained a cult following with his online show Maestro Knows, which was often just him hanging out, or driving around in his car. Tonight, Alife at Space 15 Twenty hosts a special screening of Maestro Knows episodes, plus extra footage from the Levi’s past couple of years. As laidback a kid as he is, if Levi’s videos don’t inspire you to get off your ass and do something, we don’t know what will.

UO Inside: Christian Joy Studio permalinkMost known for her eccentric designs—a skeleton with spilling guts, various witches, spacemen and jokers—for Yeah Yeah Yeahs lead singer Karen O., Christian Joy’s designs are anything but traditional. She briefly produced her own line before deciding to focus entirely on art and costumes, and recently had her first solo exhibition, The Visitors Must Be Amused, at Audio Visual Arts in New York. And truly, making crazy, out-of-this-world stuff is what Joy does best. We stopped by her Brooklyn studio to see how she does it. |

Ban.Do Black Label permalinkEach dreamy headpiece in the Ban.Do Black Label collection is named—from tongue-in-cheek simplicity like ”She’s a Glam Indian Princess,” to saccharine (”She Never Met A Cupcake She Didn’t Like”) and even the occasional hip-hop reference (”Ain’t No Party Like a West Coast Party” or ”Ain’t Too Proud to Beg”). It’s always refreshing to see fashion taken not-too-seriously. |
