The Octopus Project (love the name) is an Austin based experimental indie/electronic band. Some of their stuff is akin to a more electronic Explosions in the Sky, but there is a lot more to them than that.

Ellesse, that ’80s brand of luxury sportif, is making a run at a comeback… perhaps. The athletic brand dropped off to the netherworlds of junked brands after Nike and others encroached on its pricier territory, but now it seems Ellesse could be poised for a stylish return. It’s teamed up with cool Copenhagen brand Wood [...]

Men’s fashion week has some tough competition this year: the World Cup. But for those who like their fashion with a dose of sport, the Calvin Klein Mens Spring 2011 shows made a smart nod to the football craze.  The show, 41 looks in all, was also broadcast on an outdoor LED screen in Milan’s [...]

Happy Friday! And to celebrate another week on this lovely place called Earth, we want to highlight something worthwhile. Lately, we’ve spawned a healthy obsession with burgeoning site TheOnes2Watch. The collaborative project is a mixed media sort of experiment, and along with emerging models, the editorials and videos are comprised of young talent (photographers, stylists, [...]

There’s always been quite the love affair with Paris. And if the more in-your-face, frank sort of mood New York attitude has it’s plus and minuses then balancing it out with the slower paced leanings of le rive gauche may be just the right sort of ying/yang.
