Burton Snowboards has just launched a website “where girls can discover fun, unique and diverse content around the lifestyle and culture of our sport. The site features five content sections, chosen to represent all the facets of the true Burton girl lifestyle.” Check out posts on heath, beauty, travel, apres, and snowboarding from top contributors: Hannah Teter, Kelly Clark, Noot Seear, Zanna Roberts Rassi, the Barefoot Contessa, Joy Bryant and more!

Starting December 5, the Valentino archive will be available to the public as a downloadable desktop app and will showcase the designers work from the last five decades. The virtual tour mimics a 100,000 square foot museum with an interior inspired by Roman architecture. The exhibit displays over 300 dresses, sketches, ad campaigns, editorials, red carpet moments, and more.

What really happened ?

686, Scion Racing, and Spin Imaging have collaborated in an attempt create the ultimate mountain vehicle.

“The exterior is bundled head-to-toe in custom features, from the New Balance tires to the Bern carbon fiber helmet roof. The xB is completely wrapped in 686 waterproof/breathable fabric, with waterproof YKK zipper pockets and Dragon APX mirrored frameless windows.”

“The interior has no shortage of fun and functional sporting gear. The Union binding swivel seats, Freewaters heated floor mats and Cadence steering wheel wrap are only a few of the many mountain-ready features. 686 did plenty of their own custom creation with the gear hangers, snowboard rack, boot rack and roll cage all stuffed comfortably inside.”

I have to say I think it’s a smart concept, but the execution is questionable.

Pages from the July 1968 Vogue.  Photographed by Franco Rubartelli, Styled by Giorgio di Sant’Angelo and modeled by Veruschka in the Arizona desert.  Over five days, the trio created one look per day from only yards of un-sewn fabric, furs, ropes and stones found in the desert.

Matt Box has released the first in a series of hand painted water colour animations, aiming to capture the unique personal style of today’s influential skaters. Next skateboarder up to get the acid drop treatment…Dylan Rieder.

A little blast from the past, specifically from Life magazine’s encomium to the entrepreneurial outdoorsman in October 1941. “More heady than love, ladies or liquor is the sporting-goods catalog of L. L. Bean, outfitter extraordinary to men who live so they may hunt and fish,”

The magazine showcased a number of innovative items from the Bean catalog, beginning with the famous Maine Hunting Shoe, created when Bean had a seamstress sew elk hide leggings onto a pair of old rubbers to keep his feet warm and dry while duck hunting.

In 1941 the boots, still with elk hide uppers, cost from $3.15 for the 6 1/2? high version to $9 for the 18?. Other practical and stylish items included a fly fishing jacket with a special pocket for keeping your Luckys dry; a cold-proof ducking hunting outfit with a moleskin coat; zippered lambskin Canoe Shoes; a deer hunting outfit in red and black checkered wool; a double-visored bird shooting cap; an oilskin coat with a sheepskin collar and cuffs; and an array of 21 different knives for “every sportsman’s whim”. Mr. Bean himself tested the decoys.
