Supra NYC Magic Film
NYC MAGIC: SUPRA IN THE CITY from SUPRA Footwear on Vimeo.
Send Ellington, Greco, Neen, Muska, Keelan Dadd, Spencer Hamilton, and the rest of the Supra squad out to NYC to stay in a loft right in the heart of the city for an entire month you just know with a skate crew like that. It’s like making magic in a cauldron.
The Sartorialist: Lunch for 25
The Sartorialist: Lunch for 25 from The Sartorialist on Vimeo.
I absolutely love this idea that Scott Schuman, otherwise known as The Sartorialist, has started as a “Lunch for 25″ series. Here’s what he had to say –
About a year ago, Scott and I were sitting at a small Trattoria in Florence. The place looked amazing– not only the simple and traditional decor, but also the irreproducible Italian atmosphere and overall elegance of the gentlemen.
“Doesn’t this place look like the best fashion story ever?” I asked Scott.
“Yes!” He said, “Real, cool, diverse– It’s like if all the best dressed guys I know got together for lunch….. We should just do that! Get my favorite guys together in one room, it would be so much fun. These guys have so much in common and yet, for most of them, their paths never cross. Just imagine, someone like Gianluca, with his dreadlocks and modern-minimalist aesthetic sitting next to Lino, with his old-school Italian charm…. Mr. Kurino and Simone Righi discussing their first suit, Kanye and Terron talking about whatever it is those two super funny characters could dream up… I’m just guessing, but I bet these guys would really hit it off. What a great way to forge new friendships.”
“Scott… You should do it!!!” the idea sounded fantastic to me.
And that’s what Scott did. I can tell you, I was so jealous not to be in Florence for The Inaugural Sartorialist Lunch. But, here are a few photographs and a video to let you share the first of what we hope will become a biannual event that grows every year through a continually increasing diversity of style and deepening camaraderie between friends.
Hope you enjoy,
Garance & Scott
*We would like to thank Simone and Guido in Florence for their helping to make this event happen, it would not have been the same without you.

Planet Rock: The Story Of Hip Hop And The Crack Generation
“Narrated and executive produced by Ice-T, “Planet Rock: The Story of Hip Hop and the Crack Generation” is the first documentary to focus specifically on the connections between crack and hip-hop.
Crack first appeared in the early 1980s, but by 1986, it was raging through the inner cities of America like wildfire, leaving pain, grief, and death in its wake. With candid, never-before-seen interviews from survivors, including Snoop Dogg, Cypress Hill’s B-Real, and the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA and Raekwon, “Planet Rock” examines the hardships young men encountered growing up in impoverished neighborhoods, which led many to deal crack cocaine as their only way out.
From the gold dookie chain to Gucci, many hip-hop artists were influenced by the look and fashion of infamous dealers like Azie Faison in Harlem, who is prominently featured in the documentary, along with Freeway Ricky Ross, the Godfather of Crack in LA. As hip-hop became increasingly popular, the fascination with crime and gangster culture, specifically the violence inherent in crack culture, became ingrained in the music. And soon the very kids dealing crack were turning their street tales into hit records. After serving hard time in jail, Snoop Dogg became the biggest rapper of his day; after a bullet in the back nearly killed him, B Real went legit with Cypress Hill; and after crafting their business model on the crack hustle, RZA and Raekwon turned the Wu Tang Clan into a hip hop empire. As journalist Cheo Choker reflects, “it’s fascinating to think that Jay Z, a global icon who had better seats at President Obama’s inauguration than Jesse Jackson, was once a New York City crack dealer.”

Blogging keeps me sane
There’s nothing I like better, than to finish the day posting new content to my blog. It gives me time to reflect on work I’ve done for the day and helps me channel my thoughts for concepts I’m currently working on. I found this old photo from last summer and thought I’d put it to good use and create another image link to my blog for Facebook.

Smith Optics + Recon Goggles
Smith Optics and Recon Instruments announced their partnership in their debut of a new interchangeable goggle with in-lens LCD video. Blending these two amazing technologies, users will be able to connect with Bluetooth® video from their smartphones to view texts, weather conditions, e-mails and more right in front of their eyes- literally. This is why I love technology and embrace the speed at which it keeps getting better and better. Hopefully this time next year I’ll be sporting a pair of these goggles on the slopes in Niseko.
