These guys are everywhere these days from BMW commercials in their native Australia, every hipster music blog known to man, and if we don’t watch out probably on the front of your favorite cereal. The video for their single “Talk Like That” features what could only be described as a binge on way too many club drugs and the ensuing psychosis. The video is directed by the same guys (Jonas & Francois) who did Justice’s video for D.A.N.C.E.

By now you’ve either heard the song, seen the ad on TV, or read about it in various publications, but now you can ask your self a serious question- did it work? Jason and I found ourselves at Barcelona a few days ago discussing that very idea. Over the course of a few drinks and a interesting late night dinner (I’m still not sold on the food there) we attacked two main ideas about this campaign.

Mega Huf/Blackscale
Season 4
Black Scale
Season 3

Mega (BLACK SCALE/HUF) just unveiled the new gear available for season 4 of his black scale line. If you’ve seen the previous seasons, the line has changed themes from a state of urgency, revolt for the status quo of the government, religion and even a hint of secret societies to its current tone of a more subdued, insightful and personal look at art, fashion and music.

Kanye West – Pastelle

July 9th, 2008 by

Yeezy is  virtually everywhere when it comes to fashion. A lot of people don’t know it, but Kanye has really run the gamut of fashion; from street wear to couture, Kanye explores it all. For the past few years he’s been preparing his own signature line, Pastelle, which has been spotted in the wild this week during Paris’ Fashion Week. Anybody know what the material of the hoodie is made out of? The colors on the hood perfectly contrast the rest of the outfit, which is trimmed with dark grey shoulder and elbow patches. Minimalism has always spoke volumes and seems very contrary to the Kanye’s bold and loud demeanor. Opinions???
