We had a random night on Wednesday as all of a sudden we found ourselves in a club with shorts and backpacks hanging out with former 106 & Park 7 week Champion Jin, and Taiwanese actor/artist Van Ness Wu. What kind of nerds go clubbing in backpacks? This week’s staff picks include the most hyped phone EVER, 3G iPhone, the latest from Converse, Shop Gentei’s ring with Garni and Eliminator’s take on a Fred Perry classic.
It’s been raining like crazy the last few days, really puts a damper mood on everything. However, we’d had the privilege being graced by a new regular fixture at the office in Jefford. At the tender age of 19, he’s become the new office whipping boy/un-official intern and claimed the title of undisputed HYPEBEAST of the office. This week we bring you our top pics of the week including Paul Smith’s latest watch collection, WTAPS tees, Nas’ upcoming album and the Eliminator x Michael Linnell Mega Messenger Bag.
A fruitful week has come to a close. This week was marked by a more than average amount of events going down thrown in commemoration of upcoming Diesel and Coach stores opening new retail locations in Hong Kong. Personal highlight was probably the chance to meet a living legend in Stussy founder Shawn Stussy and hear him talk so candidly about his experiences with many influential people of today and laying the brickwork to what is before us now. All this based on the creation of an innocent brand at a time when there was no designation or classification for what Stussy represented. This week’s staff picks includes choices such as the Perspective chair, FUCT x Zippo Japan lighter and COMME des GARCON wallets.
