Hood By Air 2013 Fall/Winter “Boychild” Runway Show feat. A$AP Rocky
New York’s Hood By Air celebrated their 6th year of existence with an inspired runway show at Milk Studios with an assist from notable performance artist Boychild as well as Harlem emcee A$AP Rocky – marking the brands first ever participation at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Following the show, GQ managed to catch up with Rocky to discuss his future plans in fashion – and whether he had the desire to become a designer – with the rapper commenting, ” Nah, I’m not a fashion designer. I’ll do collabs, but that’s the most. I’ve already did collabs with a few streetwear brands, but that’s on the high end. I’ll do a collab, but I’m not fashion designer and I have no intention of going and doing that anytime soon.”
God of War: Ascension Trailer
Nearly eight years after the release of the first installment, Santa Monica Studio and Sony Computer Entertainment intend to follow up their highly successful God of War series with a seventh installment –God of War: Ascension. This preliminary trailer for the game lays the premise for the March 12 North American release. The trailer plays on the main character, Kronos, who loses his family some ten years before the occurrences in the original God of War. Set against an emotionally-charged song, Kronos’ insatiable feeling of remorse is aptly depicted, and does well to set the tone for the highly anticipated game.
Danny Campbell Attempts “Wave Rock”
Wave Rock from InfinityList on Vimeo.
InfinityList.com leaders in cinematic online sports content collaborated with mb! by Mercedes-Benz Magazine mercedes-benz.com/mb and Australian BMX rider Danny Campbell to conquer “Wave Rock” a 14 m (47 ft) high and 110 m (350 ft) long granite rock face shaped like an over-vert quarter pipe located in the Western Australia Outback.
Shot over 3 days of blistering heat hundreds of miles from the nearest major city of Perth. The video takes place in the rock jungle gym that is the Hyden Wildlife Park for what is the world’s first attempt to drop in on this rock of historical significance.
Danny Campbell negotiated the difficult and dangerous terrain with relative ease after spending a half-day scouting. The rock which appears deceivingly smooth to the naked eye is wicked rough with large elevated patches of uneven surfaces and took all his tactical finesse to negotiate.
In partnership with mb! by Mercedes-Benz Magazine, Mercedes-Benz Australia provided the use of a new G350 BlueTEC Edition to facilitate the camera crew and talent negotiating the difficult outback terrain in the process of shooting this piece.
Jae Lee Comic Book Artwork
One of my favorite artist Jae Lee has a unique approach to his artwork of comic book characters almost showing a darker more vulnerable side to superheros. HUGE FAN!

Vibrant, spare, and beautifully arranged, she shoots them after visits to various farmers markets in Los Angeles or before tackling a recipe.

A Conversation with Woodkid
Yoann Lemoine is a musician and video artist from Paris. His skills as a producer and videographer have been demanded by many big names in the music industry; Lemoine produced Katy Perry’s music video Teenage Dream as well as the videos for Lana Del Rey’s Blue Jeans and Born To Die. The list of his clients continues with Rihanna, Drake, Taylor Swift, Mystery Jets and so on. It is obvious that Lemoine is gifted catching dreams and visions to transform them on to celluloid. The most impressive is Yoann Lemoine’s own musical project that goes by the name WOODKID. The tracks are epic and monumental using the imposing effects of orchestral instruments such as string players, trumpets and horns, an abundance of drums and the significance of an organ. The conceptual full length album ‘The Golden Age’ will be released on the 15th of March 2013. The concept of the album builds up around the story of a boy who leaves the era of childhood and dies, only to be reborn within growing up. This story is told through WOODKID’s music videos, full of mystic images and extensive special effects. The first released video was ‘Iron’ followed by ‘Run Boy Run’ and the very recently released ‘I Love You’. As I was told in the interview there is more to come, more from Woodkid and more from Yoann Lemoine…we can’t wait.
Watch the video interview and find out what Woodkid has to say about budgets of music videos, questions without answers and that it is ok to make mistakes even if they involve a grizzly bear.

A Look Inside The Loft Apartment of Supreme’s James Jebbia
James Jebbia the founder of Supreme, as well as Union New York and Stussy New York.
Italian interior magazine Case Da Abitare had the rare opportunity of visiting his Greenwich Village loft in New York City. The rather attention shy man rarely gives a look behind the scenes, which makes this tour of his apartment so much more special. Just like us, I am sure many of you would have expected something else from him, but there is not a single hint of Supreme or any of his other involvements to be found in the very minimalist space. A beautiful apartment for him and his family, far away from the bold streetwear that his Supreme brand presents season after season.
