On August 3rd in the Shoreditch area of London, the transformed #adidasunderground space played host to arguably one of the most energetic and talked about events thus far in its ongoing resume of events. The space played host to an incredibly immersive and fully experiential showing of The Chemical Brothers’ DON’T THINK film. The film, which was originally captured in last year at Japan’s Fuji Rock Festival, was captured on an intricate amalgam of over 21 camera that were positioned throughout the over 50,000 person crowd. The film’s director, Adam Smith, was able to capture the ridiculously “mind-bending” audio-visual live show that is so characteristic of The Chemical Brothers.
For #adidasunderground, the challenge was to take the film, which captures an already intense barrage of lights, sound and music, and augment it in such a way that does the film justice as opposed to detract from the experience. They did just that. Plastered across the sweeping HD screens of the transformed space, the film was paired with a sound system that made you forget that you weren’t actually witnessing the events live and an array of lasers and lights that effectively mimicked the live show’s timing and sequence.
With over 50 make-up artists on hand, the #adidasunderground team took it a step further by requiring all entrants to paint their faces like clowns to mimic the film’s footage. Furthermore, the special invite-only event took it to the next level by supplying each and every attendee with a white adidas track suit. The result was a psychedelically orchestrated masquerade that left attendees recognizable by only perhaps the shoes on their feet that served as the slightest differentiating point. Following the film’s showing, an elevated platform at the right of the room welcomed The Chemical Brothers’ tour DJ, Mr. James Holyrod to the stage taking those in attendence on an even further surreal journey through the DON’T THINK mind.
Lee Fields & The Expressions “Faithful Man” from Yours Truly on Vimeo.
“Lee Fields doesn’t mess around. On Faithful Man, his first album since 2009′s acclaimed My World, it takes the veteran soul man just eight seconds to hit peak intensity. “I’ve always been a faithful man, till you came along,” he pleads against a tense “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World”-style groove. His voice filled with apocalyptic dread because he knows he’s powerless against temptation, but he also knows that giving in will change his life forever. It’s classic soul conundrum – and these days, nobody does classic soul better than Lee Fields.”

GQ Article –
Hitmaker Pharrell Williams and menswear’s most talked-about designer, Mark McNairy, have joined forces for this season’s buzziest new label, Bee Line for Billionaire Boys Club. Streetwear may never fit the same way again. Here, in an exclusive shoot, the duo wear—and discuss—the debut collection
Making the Band
Mark McNairy:
“I always liked what Pharrell did with Billionaire Boys Club—it’s like preppy streetwear. We started by collaborating on one shoe. We talked about doing clothes, and eventually it evolved into a full made-in-the-U.S.A. collection.”
The Line Between Streetwear and Menswear
McNairy: “In my head, there is no line.”
Pharrell: “I don’t know lines. I understand the concept, but it’s just not fun to work inside a box.”
Working with Pharrell
McNairy: “I came in confident. Then I started hearing how picky Pharrell is, so I got a little nervous. We had our initial meetings and decided what the direction should be. When I took all the prototypes to Miami, he loved everything.”
Working with McNasty
Pharrell: “He’s very quirky and a quiet guy, but also funny as hell. Within all that quirkiness, he’s very confident. The man just clicks.”
Southern Players
Pharrell: “Mark has learned a lot along the way, but his mentality is still North Carolina. I like the way he just crashes shit together.”
McNairy: “Pharrell’s basically a southern gentleman. I bet Virginia Beach isn’t that different from Greensboro.”
The One Piece That Says It All
McNairy: “It’s definitely the gold- and silver-sleeve varsity jackets. I was in the factory and saw a metallic scrap on the floor. I ran to 35th Street, bought the leather, and bam.”
