Sao Paulo Fashion Week FW 2010 Runway Review

It comes as no surprise that Alexandre Herchcovitch drew the spotlight for Fall/Winter 2010 Sao Paulo Fashion Week, where he presented his mens and womenswear collections. What baffles me though, is how one mind can produce such contrasting thoughts simultaneously. Herchcovitch’s womenswear was beaming with cultural references of nomadic/gypsy lifestyles juxtaposed ...

The Generationals : When They Fight, They Fight

It’s no wonder why when I first heard ‘When They Fight, They Fight’ by the Generationals I was perplexed as to what “generation” they were from.  I was amazed to find that this duo made up of guitarists/songwriters, Ted Joyner and Grant Widmer was in fact not from the 50’s ...

Crowdpleaser & Ly Sander : Walking Home

“Walking Home” is a unique testament to the experimental-ism of music.

Its effect is almost hypnotic, putting ...

Toro Y Moi : Talamak & Blessa

Toro Y Moi is 23 year old Chaz Bundick of South Carolina. At first listen his music might fall into the chill wave/glo-fi genre that has been made so popular over the past year by artist such as Washed Out and Neon Indian, but personally, I think Bundick transcends the ...

Alexandre Herchcovitch’s Royal Gypsy Trend for FW 2010

For Fall/Winter 2010 Alexandre Herchcovitch went Royal Gypsy on us, and nearly knocked me off my chair with his historical references and meticulously styled headdresses.
