STYLE STUFF.
LFW LOLZ
Queuing, queuing, queuing, waiting, waiting, waiting (in the rain). This is where the majority of one’s time is spent during LFW. But boy is it worth the wait!
DroneBoy DnB Tees.
Joanna visits the studios of DroneBoy Laundry, a Cardiff based t-shirt company producing tees for the DnB crowd that are nothing like the horrible images you see if you search DnB t shirt in google.
Thugged out since cubscout.
Over the quarter of a century that it’s been around, hip-hop has taken on and spawned many new sub-genres – some incredible, some ball-shatteringly terrible, and with each comes a whole new style of dress.
A daft punk style revival.
I’m having a bit of a punk style revival. There’s something cool about that ‘don’t give a fuck’ attitude that I feel I could totally ride on in 2011.
Collaborations are cool.
A couple of weeks ago we slagged off collaborations between high street/designer clothes (and gas masks amongst other things) but we did mention that occasionally you’ll spot a nice one. Sophie rounded up a load of those for us.
The Yellow Bird Project-T shirts & Charity.
The Yellow Bird Project is a Montreal-based non-profit organisation that works with an amazing range of indie rock musicians to create unique t-shirt designs that benefit an array of charities, each chosen by the musicians. Musicians including Bon Iver,Bloc Party, Grizzly Bear, Metric, The National & The Shins…..
Collaborations don’t always work out.
Collaborations between brands aren’t just for those people who wait outside shops all night until the doors open, grab whatever the latest limited edition piece is and go home, blog about it and eventually put it on eBay for a 200% mark-up. Ohhhh no.
Sexy clothes (terrible pun).
Gosh, fashion designers can be wacky can’t they? Just look at what one of them has gone and done now – made clothes out of recycled condoms!
They stole my bike, they stole my shoes.
Steven’s bike was stolen recently : ( which reminded him of another possession of his that was taken from him as a nipper – his black suede Air Jordan high tops, boo ya.
How to get classy.
We all get to a certain point in our lives where we stop thinking about street-wear, hair dye, shag bands and Kanye West sunglasses. And that point should be a signal to each of us that it’s time to get classy.

Then & Now – Tape Deck Mountain.
