Check out this video clip of famed NY photographer Terry Richardson taking pictures of models in swimwear with his little snapshot Yashica T4. Terry Richardson also explains why it’s easier for him to use this camera rather than the expensive zoom lensed cameras. And oddly enough, since he is Terry Richardson, everyone trusts his work even with a small snapshot that any other person might have.

BKRW recently had a sit down with Jeff Stape of Staple Design during Bread & Butter Berlin. The interview was broken down into 3 parts involving:
Part 1: Childhood, Origins, and Roots…
Part 2: Street Culture, Internet, Nike…
Part 3: Staple Anniversary, Tribute, Strategy…
Jeff Staple definitely raised a very interesting points regarding Staple Design’s existence. Although each and every piece that comes off the drawing board of Staple has a pertinent message, only a few will care to find out that meaning. It’s our belief that the ability to derive meaning reflects a more fulfilling experience. BKRW has always done a great job with their interviews and this one is no exception. The quality of interviewee’s and the questions asked should leave you more satisfied knowing you can walk away enlightened. Essentially BKRW and the people they interview are able to offer up an accurate portrayal of what’s going on within this culture leaving you without the guess work.

Supreme will be working with Oakley to release the classic Frogskins sunglasses. The sunglasses will come in four colors as well as one custom Supreme pattern. They will be available at Supreme stores worldwide coming April. Here’s more information from the folks at Supreme.
In 1975, Jim Jannard started Oakley in his garage lab with $300 and the idea of making products that work better and look better than anything else out there. His first success came in the form of a new motorcycle hand grip with a unique tread and rider-friendly shape. Top pros took notice of the product’s “Unobtainium” material that actually increased grip as the rider sweats. Next up for the motocross market was Jannard’s wildly successful O Frame goggle, with its lens curved into a perfect arched cylinder to give riders a clear and wide peripheral view. Many versions of eyewear followed and today, world-class cyclists such as Greg LeMond, Lance Armstrong, and Scott Tinley demand the performance and protection offered by Oakley products.
The Oakley Frogskins were first released in 1986 and quickly became a symbol of that decade’s surf and skate culture. Worn by legend Tom Carrol, Frogskins epitomized the surf lifestyle.
Span of Sunset has created with Disney what can effectively be recognized by anybody with any interest in Pop Culture in the form of these two new colorways for the Cheshire Cat figures.
You’ve probably seen the Cheshire Cat through the timeless classic, Alice in Wonderland, but now through Span of Sunset and Disney they’ve been reborn as 3-D toy with a modern twist. Each piece is limited to only 500 pieces. Available here.

New Balance fans near and far will certainly have mixed emotions about this new SD574 sandal. It’s not something that new as other companies have produced similar-ish products such as clogposities, Superstar Clog’s etc. However, the impact may remain minimal due to it being a .jp release.
