There’s certain things the French do that will make just about anyone jealous and this bike design by Thierry Boltz and Claude Saos from Strasbourg, France does just that. Composed from beech plywood frames which gives it is architectural structure on which can be added the steel parts of high quality of the brand Columbus which can welcome standard mechanical elements. Solid seats and pinstriped tires give the WOOD.b series of street bikes a somewhat vintage feel but seamless joints, steel accents and a simple minimal aesthetic give the series away as modern designs of today. The mix of wood and steel allows the bike WOOD.b to be solid, comfortable at the same time, but also dynamic! www.bsgbikes.com

Introducing the Boat Moc For Spring Summer 2013 Amsterdam Shoe Company introduces yet another new style, the Boat Moc. A take on the classic boat shoe, the Boat Moc lacks the common two eyelet design and favors a clean hand stitched moccasin design with leather bow tied laces on the vamp. The back of the shoe features an overlay on the heel with a hand stitched detail and wave inspired zigzag stitch.
The colorways on the uppers consist of two or three color tones in suede leather with a hand applied finish for a slightly worn look. To carry on the aesthetic to the lining, a tonal raw edge cotton is used. The sock-liner consists of full-length padded tan leather. The four available colorways for SS13 are Ochre Yellow/Taupe, Bold Red/Stone, Orange/Brown and Triple Blue.

Nudity Today might have been more accurately called Nudity This Minute or Nudity Right This Very Second. It explores the nude photography of ten young artists roughly between the ages of 20 and 30, including Tim Barber, Jerry Hsu, Sandy Kim, Maggie Lee, Nicole Lesser and Jordan Bennett. It examines the new moods and outlooks in photography engendered by the heady era that witnessed the explosion of the snapshot aesthetic, the birth of digital photography and the proliferation of online networks and outlets for sharing and exhibiting images.
As these technological changes shaped the means of photography, the continuing relaxation of social mores transformed its ends. The young art photographers of today are more open in their sexuality and freer in their bodies than the generations that came before them, and the intimacy and spontaneity of their lives comes across unfiltered in their work.

We warned you a while ago that TDE was the only camp that each member can withstand their own ground and not even their brethren to hold their back but when they do come together, you get a gem like this right hurr. Fig Side’s ScHoolboy Q’s releases his next single with the help from his fellow Top Dawg Ent. compadre. Produced by previous Kendrick collaborators THC, but both Schoolboy and Kendrick find plenty of ways to get their personality across. Q has said Kendrick is the guy inspiring him to drop a classic, and when the two are together like this, such an accomplishment looks very much within reach.

Every FREITAG bag is still cut by strong hands from a dirty, unwieldy and well-traveled truck tarp. Until now, there was no way to track down multiple FREITAG bags cut from the same tarp. The F701 TRIO changes all this with a family of bags, the F05 BLAIR, F07 CHUCK and F91 PRITCHETT. Design and organizational enthusiasts can curb their excitement with the F701 TRIO, the first bags cut from one truck tarp and packaged together. The TRIO includes two pouches and a tote bag for a comfortable to carry, easy to organize, and effortlessly stylish, look.

Henry Cavill may wear the tights, but Kanye West is our true Superman. Haven’t you heard? In a fascinating if mildly irritating New York Times interview West compared himself — in this order — to Steve Jobs, Walt Disney, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes, Nicolas Ghesquière, Anna Wintour, and David Stern. In West’s mind, he soars above such low company as the Beatles and Michael Jackson; titans of industry, fashion, sports, and film are his new peers. From serious think pieces to Page Six gossip, it’s impossible to read about West without encountering his spectacular ego, whose audacity would make Nietzsche alternately marvel and blush. This strikingly performative pomposity fits all too well into perceptions of West — notorious usurper of acceptance-speech microphones, Kim Kardashian’s baby daddy, entertainment news regular — as the embodiment of a culture of celebrity decadence. These are the people Kanye West infuriates. More often than not, these people miss the point.
