Prada's "First Spring" Film by Yang Fudong




Prominent Chinese artist and avant-garde filmmaker Yang Fudong recently directed a film entitled ‘First Spring’ to represent “a new direction in Prada’s visual communications.” Inspired by the maxim, “a good year is determined by its spring,” the film is set in the streets of Shanghai, during the 30s & 40s. The black and white film follows young gentlemen—decked out in Prada menswear of course—as they travel through a dreamlike world meeting various characters throughout the city. Head over the Prada.com for the entire video.

ILL!!!!



My wife always says if it was up to me our home would look like a cold, museum from outer space. I beg to differ. I do like very sleek and minimalistic pieces, oh and yeah I would be okay with all white walls and a kitchen full of Viking stainless steel appliances....oh yeah and a Eames chair or two but since she wears the decorating paints, that is not the case. At any rate this bedroom from PRESOTTO ITALIA is dope and if I could afford it she would have to just compromise

Midnight Marauders!

Midnight Marauders is one of my favorite rap albums of all times. It's arguably one of the greatest . From start to finish this album delivers. But before I even heard the first lyric on this album I was captured by the dopeness of the cover. I remember trying to figure out who each person was on it and thinking how cool it would be to be one of them. Well in honor of my favorite rap group and my favorite rap album cover I've decided to recreate it albeit with my homies. So next time any of you come by to visit be ready to rock a pair of headphones and say cheese!
