Fall/Winter 2011 Burton x Adidas Originals Lookbook

Dan — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 17:24:48 +0000

“Along with “Rider of the Year” John Jackson joining Team Burton the season, snowboard sport’s most valued brand has another thing to celebrate about – the Burton x Adidas Originals Capsule Collection. With the snowboard season winding up in the Northern Hemisphere, the collection culminates to the more insulated designs like the Burton x Adidas Originals Down Casual Snow Jacket. A hint of plaid on a classic parka design, the Casual Down Jacket is more than winter-ready with its 70% down and 30% duck feather insulation. The addition of a detachable faux fur hood completely seals you off from the elements. But in case that isn’t adequate enough, a set of flannel shirts might just do the trick. The Burton x Adidas Originals Flannel Shirt and Down Casual Snow Jacket are available now at select Burton and Adidas Originals retail locations.” – http://www.freshnessmag.com

Who Shot Andy Warhol?

Perhaps the real question should be, “Who didn’t shoot Andy Warhol?” The veritable king of Pop Art was the second most photographed artist of the 20th century (Picasso holds at #1). Curator and art dealer Eric Firestone will present in his new East Hampton gallery with “Warhol: From Dylan to Duchamp,” an exhibition of photographs paying homage to the icon. There are, of course, images of Edie Sedgwick, The Velvet Underground and Andy presiding over the creative debauchery of his Factory kingdom, captured by the likes of Annie Leibovitz, Robert Mapplethorpe, and resident Factory photog, the late Nat Finkelstein, just to name a very few. But the ace-in-the-hole is a set of 100 never-before-seen images of Andy shooting his satirical, homoerotic Western film, Lonesome Cowboys (1968), in the Tucson desert.

Discovered almost by accident by the show’s co-curator, photographer and Taschen editor Eric Kroll, the on-set images were taken by Bob Broder who, at the time, was shooting for the Arizona Republic. Only four of the black-and-white photographs went to print and the others–which include a whip-wielding Viva in jodhpurs and fake eyelashes, Eric Emerson wrestling with half nude actors amongst cacti in the desert, and Andy with his eye to the lens, crowned with a cartoonish ten gallon hat–have been collecting dust until now.

“Andy allowed Broder to get right into his face with the camera,” said Firestone when discussing a five part series titled “Eyes of Warhol” (1968), which zooms in tightly on Andy’s expressive peepers. And “Andy on Snack Break” (1968), a photograph of the artist crouched down in thick-heeled shoes, reaching into a bag of Doritos, is almost comically perfect.

MARCH LA.B Process

Jerome — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 01:08:06 +0000

Producing an high-end timepiece can be a grueling process, 2 years of work and hard labor. The process is surely not limited to the design and creative aspect, the final product only happens with the dedication of numerous people from engineers, factory manager, seamstresses, prototypist, quality expert, watchmaker….. Myself and “El Presidente” Mr Alain Marhic himself visited Switzerland 2 weeks ago to round up production issues before the summer break and I am always bewildered by the number of person and hands it takes to make a timepiece happen….

Visiting a factory is a good reminder of the dedication of all those artisans to quality and impeccable production, we are grateful to work with such talented crafstman.

Here are a couple of photos of our trip and of the people and personalities behind the fantastic swiss made label…..

Enjoy.
