Paris Texas is blogging

2007-06-06T12:10:00.000+02:00

Paris Texas in Copenhagen, clearly one of my favourite european stores, are
now posting updates on their blog. Paris Texas carry high-end fashion brands
like Number (N)ine, Junya Watanabe, Undercover, Ksubi, Martin Margiela,
Mosslight, Tsumori Chisato, Raf by Raf Simons, Rick Owens, James Perse,
Kenzo Minami and a lot more. Keep checking their blog for the latest scoops,
Maria really knows what she is doing and she has impeccable taste.

Go Maria!

Chronicles Of Never

2007-05-12T13:33:00.000+02:00

Chronicles Of Never is Gareth Moody's brand. After quitting Tsubi, Moody has
created jewellery, accessories and tees, but he is now taking steps towards a
full clothing line. The lookbook for Water Will Burn, photographed by
Marvin Scott Jarrett, is absolutely fantastic. To me it feels like a perfect cross
between Tsubi and the japanese avantgarde look.

Okay...so what's happened lately. To put it in brief:

4,5 months has passed by and I have a new job. *applause* And my lovely
girlfriend and I have bought ourselves an apartment, which we moved into
on New Years Eve. Not too shabby for a few months. Thus, I should have
had a shitload to write about on this blog, but I've been really stretched
for time.

My new job is at Blender Agency, where I work as brand manager for fashion
brands Ksubi, Earnest Sewn and Lyle & Scott Vintage. I'm really pleased with
my job situation nowadays. With my previous employer I had gotten to a
point where I felt way too comfortable in terms of which tasks I had, and
how to go about doing them. So comfortable that it felt boring. There were
very few new impulses, and there was not much left to learn.

My new job has shown me how incredibly much more I need to learn about
the fashion industry, and that is such a good feeling - to be at a certain
point, and see all that is to come.

Religion

No, I'm not going to preach to you - at least not about a
certain religion, but I just wanted to show you this one.

Dear Santa

2006-12-05T00:47:00.000+01:00

So, we found the apartment! And we are very happy with the
decision, both in terms of seeing it as an investment, and
seeing it as a place where we would like to live.

But now we need to fill the place. It's not like the place is
enormous, and we do have some stuff already, but here are
a few pieces that Santa can feel free to drop down our
chimney any time.

Insane Mastermind

2006-12-02T17:40:00.000+01:00

I liked this knitted cashmere cardigan from Mastermind Japan
which dropped in at Cliff Edge today. I was even about to order
it even though it was a bit more than what I felt like spending
on a cardigan at this point in time. It is listed at 3150 hong
kong dollars, which is around 400 USD. But wait...Cliffedge is
japanese, they don't list hkd...fuuuuuck me!! The thing costs
3150,- USD. Nevermind, Mastermind, I'll wait for something a
little less over my budget these days.

I'm still on top of things

2006-11-30T23:54:00.000+01:00

It's been some time since the last time I posted some new trends
in fashion, so I thought I'd post some jeans to show you that I'm
still worth checking out.

Hoppers

2006-11-27T01:16:00.000+01:00

By the way, I got something in the mail the other day. The long
anticipated "Hoppers"-print by David Choe. #4 out of 150.

It took one hell of a long time getting here. At least two months.
But the good news is that I've recently seen this print being sold for
double the amount that I paid for it, so besides buying art that I love,
it seems like I've been making a good investment as well. And, more
importantly, the print looks incredible. The quality of the canvas and
the ink is really good. It'll stand out in my new apartment - if I get one.

Bank robbery

2006-11-27T00:35:00.000+01:00

Sorry. I haven't found the time to be on here lately. All my
time, focus and interest has been aimed towards trying to
buy an apartment. Or, more specifically; finding a place that
feels good, and financing the fucker. It might be me setting
to high standards, but it's not all that easy when the 37 kvm
(400 sq feet) apartment we were looking at today cost
2,9 mill nkr (450000 USD). That was a ridiculously nice
apartment, though. But even the quite normal apartments
that size go for at least 250000 USD plus.

I have a lot of figuring out to do, so don't shoot me for being
a lazy fuck on this blog for some time. I'll keep posting now
and then when I find the time.

Bore me

2006-11-20T10:06:00.000+01:00

When I was a kid I was bored quite a lot. I do feel I was a
creative child, but nonetheless - there was not that much
going on to occupy my mind.

That is not the case today. I'm suffering of full and complete
information overload, and there is so much to see and do
that I don't even find the time to do 1/10th of what I'd like
to. This all makes time fly by so fucking fast. And I hardly
find the time to enjoy the things I do manage to fit in my
calendar since I'm always on the run - either by feet or by
mind.

I'd like to get back to that point where life was boring at
times, and you learned to appreciate the moment. Where
you did not take things for granted.

Boredom is a form of luxury in modern society.

Considering all of this I'm glad my girlfriend and I went up
to the cabin this weekend. Just doing nothing, really. No
tv, no internet, no shopping, no exhibitions, no work, no
social gatherings - just the two of us quietly waiting the
weekend out.

It dropped today!

2006-11-15T08:44:00.000+01:00

I'm not a huge fan of erotic art, but I've been anticipating the
release of this one. Grafuck 2.

Japanese porn ads galore

2006-11-14T00:06:00.000+01:00

I just ordered this Fifty 24SF hoodie from Upper Playground.
Sexy. What's even more funny is that I'm going to get a lot
of freaky hits off google with that header.

This poster by Asbestos is pure gold...

Kazbah

2006-11-12T00:47:00.000+01:00

Yeah, I love the Clash tune as well, but that's not what I'm
going to ramble on about right now. Kazbah is a part of
Karmaloop where they showcase and sell up-and-coming
brands. Well, it's not like Karmaloop is hypermainstream
in the first place, but anyways...

Quite a few of the brands at Kazbah are very coming and
not so much up, yet - so there are a lot of printed tees,
but there's a fresh vibe and there are some new and
original ideas if you sift through the guns and skulls. I must
quite honestly say that I hadn't heard of any of the brands
except Blood Is The New Black, Greedy Genius, Stacks &
Bundles and Methods NYC, so you're pretty sure to find
some brands you haven't noticed before.

To Die For

Stacks & Bundles

Methods NYC

Gold Coin

Did I get this right?

2006-11-09T00:45:00.000+01:00

Trends.
One coloured is the new all-over-print.
Silent is the new loud.
Tone in tone is the new contrast.
Clean is the new dirty.
Raw look is the new distressed look.
Black is the new black...
...as opposed to last year when the new black was brown.

Does this mean that commercials will all go away? If the
trends are strongly heading towards a calmer feel of things,
partly due to a reaction against the massive output of loud
and screaming messages thrown at us from all directions -
wouldn't the logical next step be that commercials ceased,
or, more realistically;
dramatically changed its way of communicating?

Has our tolerance towards this type of communication been
so far stretched that we have started seeking towards the
ones which does not scream at us?

I can see the signs, but time will tell.

And they come out swinging

2006-11-08T12:02:00.000+01:00

I don't really go out a lot any longer. Guess it's all part of growing
up and the fact that I'm in a committed relationship. I don't really
see the point of going out on town unless there is some special
event that I'm curious about, or I'm in the mood to get really,
really drunk on espresso/rum shots, absinth and whiskey. Which
lately has been happening just about three times a year.

But this last weekend my girlfriend and I went to a party.
Or "illegal rave" as some would have it. It was swell. A good
vibe, and a lot of people I hadn't seen in a while.

Marius ended up taking some pics of us with his sick lens.

London tube map

2006-11-07T00:56:00.000+01:00

I just saw Zevs interpretation of the London Underground map
at Pictures on Walls. It does seem a lot more correct than the
ones which can be found at the actual tube stations.

Zevs is a parisian graffiti artist who has had huge success over
the last years and is now doing a lot of exhibitions at reknowned
galleries. But here's a few examples of his earlier street art.

Fuck me...

Finally found some shoes for the winter. I saw them the other
day at TK's blog at Think Silly, and now I saw them at kix-files.
They are Undercover But Beautiful vs Guru Guru Reverse.
I don't know the price, they're probably extremely limited,
but the hunt is on...

Peter Gronquist has made some weapons for the occasional
hollywood celebrity on a killing spree. Lush living...or not.

Usugrow

2006-11-04T02:17:00.000+01:00

Usugrow is the home of japanese artist Nobu. We've all seen
a lot of skulls lately, but do give this one a chance - he's got
an extremely precise style with lines that are just flawless.
The pureness and perfect symmetry of the composition makes
every piece he makes so incredibly strong.

Besides, it's pretty fucking cool.

Elbow Toe

2006-10-31T21:19:00.000+01:00

He might be the new guy on the scene when it comes to
street artists, but he is gaining momentum - fast!

Elbow Toe.

Eduardo Recife has a new site up

2006-10-31T20:38:00.000+01:00

My number one guy, Eduardo Recife, has put up a new site at
eduardorecife.com, where he presents his commercial work.
His personal work can be found at misprintedtype.com.

Go get inspired!

Here are a few samples of illustration stills he made for TCM:

Time to stop buying BAPE once and for all

2006-10-30T21:07:00.000+01:00

Nigo is getting way too rich! He lives in a $30 million home in
Roppongi Hills, Tokyo, he went and got himself diamond teeth,
he collects everything form Eames furniture, to original Star
Wars and Planet of the Apes full-size figures... But let's focus
on his cars. Until the other day he had these cars:

2001 Mercedes Benz G-500
2002 Bentley Continental Mulliner Edition
2002 Aston Martin Vanquish
2002 Brabus MBZ CL600
2002 Benz S55
2002 Benz SL55
2002 Ferrari 360 Spider
2002 Ferrari 360 Modena
2003 Lamborghini Murcielago
2004 Hummer
2004 Lamborghini Gallardo
2004 Rolls-Royce Phantom
2005 Bentley Continental GT
2005 Ferrari Enzo
2005 Porsche Carrera GT
2005 Benz SLR Mclaren

The Phantom is, of course, painted in his own camo pattern:

But realizing he needed a new car, he went and got a Veyron,
painted in pink bape camo. The guy has gone mental.

Shoes for the winter

2006-10-29T18:21:00.000+01:00

Ok, I need your help deciding which shoes to buy for the
winter. The problem is, it's hard to find shoes that can
endure the norwegian winter and at the same time make
me look cool. And I suppose that stems from the probable
fact that most shoe designers live way south of the polar
circle, so they frankly don't give a shit about me and my
issues. I have found three nice options, but I need help
deciding between them. Here they are:

What are you wearing today?

2006-10-29T11:43:00.000+01:00

If you read up on streetwear and fashion forums you'll know
there's always this thread called "What are you wearing today?",
where people post pics of themselves and their gear to seek
validation from the other hipsters on the forum. DBTHB had a
comment on this the other day...

"There's something to be said about actually going on the hunt
to find cool and exclusive stuff. Yes, it helps to lend to your
individuality and sense of non-conformity (even though all of
you all-over-print, limited edition SBs, tight Levis wearing
fucks look the same). However, all that shit goes out the
window when you go home and take pictures of yourself to
post on forums. It's amazing how many pages are dedicated
to "look at my outfit and how fly I am", there are on streetwear
sites.

Did you (and you know who you are) get up, get dressed and
take a flick of yourself so you could impress other guys?

If Married to the Mob is right that "Men are the New Women",
then you boys are the new bitches."

The truth has got to hurt. Yeah, I write a blog, so I guess I'm
out there exposing myself as well, but I am surprised as to
how caught up people get in this exposure- and validationtrip
that a lot are on. And that goes far beyond writing blogs and posting on web forums. This last year several people I know
of have had sextapes or pics floating around the internet.
Just because Paris did it, doesn't mean you should do it.
What ever happened to some fucking shyness and anonymity?

All publicity is definitely not good publicity.

The Thief Print

2006-10-28T15:03:00.000+02:00

Nice. A present from myself to myself dropped in the mail
yesterday, the Thief print by Zack Johnsen - no 8 of 50. I'm
really satisfied with how it turned out. $30 at Tank Theory.

The master of movement

2006-10-28T01:36:00.000+02:00

A parisian living in New York, Wk Interact brings a distinct style
to his art. First of all, there is the portrayal of movement. But
just as creative and innovative is his choice of canvases. They
say great art is in the composition, and the uneven surfaces
he chooses as his canvas makes his work truly interesting.

Wk Interact.

The Death Watch

2006-10-28T01:24:00.000+02:00

In these times where skulls are popping up everywhere, it's
nice to see that people had a grim view on life 200 years
ago as well. Made in 1810 - the Memento Mori death watch.
18k gold, diamond verge. Sold for $16000.

The shoes I'll never get

2006-10-24T21:05:00.000+02:00

I feel heartbroken by the fact that I'll never wear these shoes.
Absolutely ridiculous, in the best possible way. These shoes are
of a collaboration involving Converse and Couleur* a la mode,
which is a small japanese brand started by fashion student
Masami Kobayashi. Each shoe is an original Converse which is
remade by hand by Couleur* a la mode. So ridiculously limited
that the price just isn't of any importance - goodbye shoes!

Thanks to Djrajio for pics and info.

Yet another magazine subscription

2006-10-24T15:37:00.000+02:00

These folk's got style! Metrodotpop magazine. Must-have lists
from heaven. Great photo series. I picked the magazine up
for the first time at ISA in Brooklyn (Isa Saalabis store, which
is now Nom De Guerre) a year and a half ago, and it was like
no fashion magazine I had ever seen before at that time.

Must keep reading

2006-10-24T15:28:00.000+02:00

I don't know why there's a girl on the cover, as this is a new
magazine which presents a selection of the latest men's
products in a photo based catalogue format. Brands included
in issue #1 includes: Number (N)ine, Mastermind Japan, KVK,
J.P.1920, Libertine, Yohji Yamamoto, Marc Jacobs, Karl

Beautiful, yet disturbing. Japanese artists often have a unique
sense of style. It might just be me that has seen a couple too
many japanese horror movies, but there is something creepy
about these paintings. Acrylic on linen by Fuco Ueda.

A little treat for you

2006-10-22T18:10:00.000+02:00

I fell in love with this tune which was featured on Gilles
Peterson's Box of Delights. It's only out on test printings as
far as I know, but you can check out more about the
musician here. I love all about this song, but what really
makes it stand out for me is from the break and out.

Pure brilliance.

Aaron Jerome - Dancing Girl mp3

Soundtrack to my life

2006-10-19T15:03:00.000+02:00

To my very pleasant surprise, Gilles Peterson is coming to Blå
here in Oslo next saturday for a dj gig. He is the number one
guy I look up to when it comes to music. Musical taste is, as
pretty much everything else in life, a learning process. And
Gilles Peterson is the master. He has endless knowledge of
music from so many different genres. One minute he is playing
some unreleased Roots or Justin song, and the next he is
playing caribbean folk music or some african jazz band you
would never have heard of unless for him playing it. And that
is when you realize that good music comes from everywhere,
and all sorts of genres, you just need to learn what to listen for.

Here are the top gems in my music collection:

Diplo & Tripledouble - Aeiou I & II
Pro Celebrity Golf & Jay Glaze - Three Sinister Syllables
Monkone - Breakin' Rocks
Mike the 2600 King - Heavy Session
RJD2 - Your Face or Your Kneecaps

I do have a lot of respect for what the A-Traks and Q-Berts out
there are doing technically, but the mixes listed above are the
best mixtapes out there, in my opinion. Although, there's a lot of
good stuff coming from these guys as well; Nick Catchdubs, DK,
Spank Rock, Ayres, DJ Eleven, DJ Moneyshot, DJ Oof, Spinbad,
Black Grass, Mark Ronson, Low Budget, Aaron LaCrate, Cosmo
Baker, Boca 45, Der Vinylizer, DJ Shadow, J.Mountain, Small
Change, Arthur King and Neil Armstrong. Many mentioned, many
forgotten.

All that set aside, I'm really a rocker which runs around listening
to everything from Slayer to Test Icicles to Forward Russia to
Death From Above. Of course, that's when I'm not listening to
jazz, world music, hip hop, electro, broken beat or something
else that suits my mood...

Visionaire 49 Decades

distinctive style, in sewn portfolios housed in an oversized case.

Eduardo Recife

2006-10-15T22:49:00.000+02:00

Time for one of my absolute favorites through the last 6-7 years,
Eduardo Recife. His site is not updated as regularly as it used to,
but his stuff is amazing. Be it illustrations, photos, fonts,
- or his collages! The only thing that annoys me is the way he
makes you feel inadequate and untalented since he was doing
such crazy stuff at age 18-19 (see his early works).

Boy look preppy.

The perilous leap has been leapt

2006-10-09T23:25:00.000+02:00

And now that the people that really needed to know has been
told, I guess the secret is out. I'm changing jobs. After six years
it feels really good to move on to something new. I am thankful
of all that I've learned working for my current employer, but at
a certain point one needs to have a complete turnaround of
duties, responsibilities and tasks. To me it's not necessarily that
important what you're doing, as long as there is a progression in
the responsibilities you have, and the tasks you undertake. When
this progression slows down it is a serious sign that one should
look elsewhere - for the sake of ones own development, but also
for the sake of your employer. One can get really good at what you're
doing, but at some point the fire and passion of somebody new
will be more advantegous for the company. I feel I am at this point
now. I feel so experienced at my job that I feel that there aren't
that many challenges left - or at least the challenges that feel
exciting are based more on yearly results, and not the everyday
challenges of the daily tasks. This could be a positive since one
gets more distance and oversight to what one is doing, but it
makes the daily passion which is needed to get the yearly results
harder to attain.

For those of you that haven't found your significant one, time is

be alone in the cold. Stress out!

It is today, my dear, that I take a perilous leap

2006-09-25T00:36:00.000+02:00

Big day tomorrow. Decision making - the cognitive process leading
to the selection of a course of action among alternatives. I'll tell you
more about it later...

Selfmutilation

2006-09-23T13:50:00.000+02:00

Yes, I am all for it - when it comes to tattoos. People that are
autoenucleating their eyes
need to start saying no to drugs, and start checking their head.
That stuff makes me gag. I've got my upper right arm tattoed by
the mexican artist Gabriel Govea, aka "Gabo".

People are pretty much like sheep, and consequently I get
asked the same three questions about my tattoo just about
every time somebody sees it for the first time:

What does it stand for, and what does it mean to you?

Don't try to psychoanalyze me, bitch. People seldom take
tattoos anylonger because of some soulkindred type of
connection to what they choose to imprint on their body.
It's mostly about preferences in art. And if it happens to lie
something deeper behind their choice of tattoo they'll probably
not want to share it with you the first time they meet you.

The tattoo above is an interpretation of Coatlique from
aztec mythology.

Did it hurt?

I had about 14 needles simultaneously shredding layers of my
skin for about four hours straight two times in four days -
what do you think? Getting tattoos hurt, but how much
depends on a lot of things; outline vs filling, the sensibility of
the skin in the area, the length of the sittings, and how long
you let the skin recover between sittings. What's a bit
interesting about the pain is that it's such a different kind of
pain than what you're used to, and considering that the pain
is an unnecessary caution signal from the brain that something
might be dangerous, one is usually able to ignore the pain for
larger periods.

Aren't you afraid of what you're going to think about it
when you grow old?

Hey, mr.corporate, stop worrying and trying to fit in.
Life is too short to blend in, anyways. Besides that,
I firmly believe that tattoos will be looked at in a
completely different manner by our generation than the
previous generations. This simply because there are so
many people, in diverse groups of the society, that are
all getting tattoos. I think whereas the older generations
are judged on whether or not they have a tattoo, our
generation will be judged on what kind of tattoos one have.

Here is a tattoo by Troy Denning which is very much in
the kind of style I would like my next tattoo to be...

To complete the Tobias Wong trilogy... Check out the print on the
wall. Marius and I were considering buying a hundred of 'em, and hand them out at Bogstadveien in Oslo - where the collective
individualists with no sense of style, stroll up and down looking
for some random fuck with limitless creditcards to spare.

Here's another piece by Tobias Wong, this time with Ken Courtney;

Ken: It was all born from my wanting to cast the McDonald’s coffee stirrer in gold. I was browsing around on eBay one (1) night and came across one of the original stirrers someone was selling. It described how the spoons had been taken off the market in the late 70’s by the McDonald’s corporation when they found out that people were using them to do cocaine. I called Tobi and asked him to help me find a jeweler to work with and he mentioned the Bic Pen cap idea. That’s when I decided we should collaborate and make an entire line. Pun intended.

Well, I'll argue Goethe over whether or not one should proclaim ones love, but this ring by Tobias Wong is a brilliant statement saying; Who else should care?

First, let me introduce myself...
