Match Up

This time we are going to geek it out a bit starting with the Retro Super Future Ciccio Reader Glasses. The readers go well with a casual preppy look and that is easy with a solid cardigan like the burgundy RVCA Freudigan Cardigan. You don't need to get stuffy with a white woven shirt, just throw on a white tee underneath. The toddland greatest pants in the universe are in fact the greatest pants in the universe, I know cause I have a pair. Strap on a pair of navy patent Clae Whitmans from their Fall 2 delivery and throw on a white Flud Cartridge watch.

The specs: The 574’s characteristic comfort is further evolved with the addition of modern technologies including: Encap midsole constructed of polyurethane that provides maximum stability and durability for all day comfort and wear, a full strobel-lasted footbed and lowered EVA and rubber durometers yielding added shoe flexibility and a softer all-over feel, a layer of Abzorb for maximum cushioning, high density PU foam sockliner resulting in more effective moisture management and an overall decrease in total weight.

CAKEDOUT JEANS???

To be honest I wouldn't have checked their blog 'til tomorrow morning, but since I was posting up info about Volume 7 I decided to just check in and what did I find? A post titled "SHHHH" and a picture of selvaged denim with the label hidden ever so slightly. These guys are up to something.

Match Up

This one revolves around the King Stampede denim vest because the filled vest is going to be a big focus again for Fall. As you all know I am trying to avoid plaid these days, but since the vest is layered over the Alphanumeric Brem plaid, it tones it down. You can't always wear your go to dark denim, so pick up a pair of black twill pants. These Freshjive narrows have a nice fit and work well with this match up. The Gourmet Dieci brings more texture to this look with the dueling suede and leather uppers and grab The Hundreds Admiral Snap Back to wrap it up.

ALIFE PRESENTS: CLAYTON PATTERSON: L.E.S. CAPTURED

CLAYTON PATTERSON L.E.S. CAPTURED
SEPTEMBER 24 – NOVEMBER 8, 2009
ALIFE PRESENTS 157 RIVINGTON STREET NEW YORK NY 10002 T. 212 253 2180 Tues – Sun 12noon – 7pm
ALIFE PRESENTS and KINZ + TILLOU FINE ART are proud to announce CLAYTON PATTERSON, L.E.S. CAPTURED, a co-produced exhibition that focuses on Patterson’s 30-year documentation of the dramatically transitioned Lower East Side neighborhood of New York City. The exhibition features select photographs; a digital showcase of Patterson’s Front Door portraits; “The Documentarian”, a short from the widely acclaimed recent feature-length documentary, Captured, a film by Ben Solomon, Dan Levin, Jenner Furst. A documentarian by choice and community activist by circumstance, Patterson’s career spans 30 years of dedicated and compulsive photographic capture of the neighborhood and its community. From documenting the 1988 Tompkins Square Park Police Riot—which earned him both jail-time and Oprah airtime—to photographing individuals posed in front of his gallery door on Essex Street, Patterson is the eyes of the Lower East Side. His massive body of work is akint to an anthropologic visual catalog of record. The pictures are strikingly honest depictions of Lower East Side kids, families, thugs, lovers, drug dealers and users, disenfranchised artists and others that would otherwise disappear from collective memory. They effectively preserve the rich culture that embodied the neighborhood during a socially and economically depressed period of New York City and as it experiences rapid gentrification. They show an unedited humanity upfront and close-up. Each picture represents a door to a fascinating story, one that he can annotate with a sharp recollection and sensitive perspective. In his Front Door book Patterson states: “For me, taking the front door photos was magic. It was like touching someone’s soul. We were sharing a moment in time together, in a very intimate and deep way. I always felt a union, a deep connection and respect for my subjects. We were one. We were exploring our inner selves to each other. I was saving a presence, a spirit, the image of a person from the moment, the here and now, for the future. All of us were the Lower East Side.” Born in 1948 in Calgary Canada, Patterson and his companion, Elsa Rensaa came to New York City in 1979. Since 1983, they have lived in the building they purchased on Essex Street, which by 1986 also served as the as the home of the Clayton Gallery and Outlaw Museum, showing artists outside the mainstream. An ardent community advocate, Patterson also co-founded the New York Tattoo Society of New York and helped win the fight to legalize tattooing in the City. The CLAYTON PATTERSON: L.E.S. CAPTURED exhibit is one of a 3-part celebration of Patterson’s work and legacy: A book signing and theatre-screening will soon be announced. Aside from Patterson’s striking photographs, also available during the exhibition are: The Front Door Book, published by O.H.W.O.W and featuring a wide collection of Patterson’s Front Door portraits, and well as numerous essays written by Patterson narrating his experiences in the Lower East Side; the Captured DVD; and collectible T-shirts and buttons—all in the spirit of the neighborhood’s grittier and tumultuous past.

MOVIE: I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell

You never know what you will find, but this was a banner ad on Twitter pics. This book is hilarious because Tucker Max is a riot and I can't believe they made it into a movie. If you haven't read "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" yet, go pick up the book and educate yourself about the notorious Tucker Max.



Unfortunately since I found this so late their premiere tour is sold out, but I am sure this is going to open on more screens.

KICKS: New Balance 574 Clips Collection

The collection name, “574 Clips” has a dual meaning: The first stems from the leftover material clippings used to construct each shoe; the second from the video clips used in the marketing campaign supporting this collection’s launch. The 574 Clips is constructed from leftover materials salvaged from New Balance’s factory in Lawrence, MA and the 574 Clips campaign was designed to highlight the individualistic nature of each shoe.

The campaign will be centered around a website (http://www.574clips.com/) that will feature 480 video clips created to convey each of the 480 shoes’ unique experience before reaching the consumer. There are only 480 pairs available in the US and will be sold at stores such as Reed Space in NYC, Undefeated in LA, Alfreds in Chicago, Commonwealth in DC and more.
