Could you wear the same outfit everyday for a year? Well, Sheena Matheiken is doing the unthinkable for a worthy cause.
She will don the same dress (don’t fret germafreaks she has multiples like Superman) for a full year. The challenge is for the charming fashion imp to rework the same black tunic dress into a READ THE FULL STORY
I am absolutely addicted to Costume Dept.’s obscenely loud leggings and now the daring Lycra™ dealers are expanding to include a full line for F/W09!!!
The predominantly black color pallet might be a startling contrast to their Lisa-Frank-beginning but the smart and versatile noir pieces are the kind of wardrobe ammo that just keeps giving.
I spoke with Owner Shawn Kaleka about Costume Dept. and the new foray into a full-fledged collection.
The smokey-eyed Beau Brummel explains that the fabulous fit can only be attributed to fashion designer ingenue, Shaun Sampson who works under the guidance of greats like Jeremy Scott while completing his study at St. Martin in London.
To know Sampson’s innate talent for draping a woman (or man) is as easy as slipping into a pair of his Ziggy Stardust creations. Uh yeah, i haven’t taken mine off since scoring the gems at a trunk show.
Back to the new line at hand, super-long fringe, androgynous puns and Islamic cultural cues combine in a goth kaleidoscope that’s anything but depressing. The insightful design choices will woo the most daring of boys and girls.
Soon to be spotted on your fav neon-clad deejay and/or new wave dude (some boys can pull off most anything) is the out-there accessory du jour courtesy of New York’s design collective, Gar-De.
It seems the fringe-trend has reached its zenith with the conception of the WWD-wrestler-cum-hair-extension pieces.

I just found the most beautiful search engine that makes Google look like a VHS Player. Check out SearchMe.com it looks just like Bridge for Mac (a program that sorts your files visually).
This ultra-sexy approach to searching makes it easy to preview pages. You can also select through various media on the left-hand side like images, video, music and news.
It seems like the Godfathers of rap are running out of hard-knock fodder for their gangsta rhyme schemes. Yeah, it’s kinda tough to rap about the streets when your kids have their own shows on MTV (Snoop Dogg’s Fatherhood & Run DMC’s Daddy’s Girls).

Arguably, rap music is rooted in the Blues. Hardship is an essential ingredient to the anthems of the genre.

Kanye’s collab with the Louis Vuitton Spring 09 line called “Kanye LV” stepped out in Paris on Thursday. The monochromatic beauties are just the kind of low-pro steeze expected from the K; of course he had to throw the little Louis flowers at the sole. Not sure what’s going on in the back with the oversized tabs? A take on a floppy hiking boot? – -LalaBlahBlah
A gazillion amazing artists collab’d on this piece to make your brain cower in the infinite display of creativity it will shoot out in pixels. They want you to buy the video here, but you can watch all you want for free here (in the true spirit of anti-capitalism) or you can toss these hard-working artists a bone (or 99¢) and pay for the track here.

Speaking of edible Nikes,
Swiss foodie blogger, Sooishi, collaborated for the Nike Switzerland Air event with +41. She set out some very precise lil’ Nike-inspired snacks. Mega-creativity and execution on this girl’s part, I can’t imagine piping those petit cheese doodles into perfect swooshes.
P.S. Its amazing how much French your mind digs up when reading her blog, perhaps it’s the beautiful pics as seen on Flickr.

The creator of SquareAmerica.com trawls flea markets and garage sales seeking out vintage-photo treasure. Scanning and categorizing grainy snapshots of American history (taken by mostly amateur photogs) the site is a curious journey of the 20th century.
Some cool categories:
What Was On - Apparently before DVR or VCR’s people would document historic TV with a camera lens. It seems almost ridiculous nowadays to be snapping the TV screen but these homemade screenshots of 1950’s news including the assassination of John F. Kennedy and moon landing are pretty cool.
The plastic electronic newspaper has gone from concept to reality in the last year. A scientist at Cambridge University tried replacing the silicon chips we use in most screens (think iPhone) with plastic. The result is a lightweight and super durable screen.
It seems like color is more like black & white on these devices but that’s what most books and newspapers look like anyways. PlasticLogics in Dresden, Germany is working on developing the device which would carry the latest newspapers, magazines, books and documents for its user; like an iPod for your text documents.
Some future uses for this plastic technology may include interactive product labels for food and medicines, slap-bracelet-style internet, screen integrated clothing and even internet-enabled contact lens.

As if Wonderland Wallpaper isn’t fun enough, I stumbled upon a delightful light-emitting invention from product designer Jonas Sampson. The paper will contain LED lights in any conceivable design. The concealed light display turns on a few moments after a person enters the room.
Not to get mushy on you, but how romantical could this get? Imagine an entire hotel suite lit up like the galaxy, a princess castle for a little girl or a safari adventure trapped in the wall a’la Jumanji. What about a freaky haunted house where decaying corpses flash for only a split moment? Or if you could choreograph several different circuits of LED, you might create a glowing animation (for the record, that’s my ingenious concept.)
COLUMBIA, S.C. - Celebrity disc jockey DJ AM has been released from a Georgia hospital after suffering severe burns in a fiery plane crash a week ago, a spokeswoman for the musician said Friday.
“While he is deeply saddened by the events he is thankful for all of the love and support he has been receiving from fans and friends,” spokeswoman Jenni Weinman said in a statement.
DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, and former Blink-182drummer Travis Barker, were rushed to a burn hospital in Augusta, Ga., after their Learjet crashed on takeoff from a Columbia airport. Doctors have said they expect both men to fully recover.
Two pilots and two other passengers who were close friends of the musicians were killed in the crash just before midnight Sept. 19.
Burton and Depp on set in Sweeney Todd
Our clever pirate is donning yet another curious hat for BFF director, Tim Burton. Yummy Depp has nabbed the [obvious] role of the Mad Hatter in the real-life adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, 3-D!!!! The film is already underway and is set for release in 2010…
German design mind Tom Hanke at Surrielien will custom-warp your wallpaper around art, lamps, doors and architecture details. The psycho-tropic results have a deliciously Dali appeal. However, one may hesitate to hit the hookah too hard in your newly striped room…
