Eternal extroverts, Alexander McQueen extend their dark decadence to the finer points of a gentleman’s wardrobe with this set of typically opulent cufflinks. Cast in a rich gold-colored metal, each of the links comprises of two of the brand’s signature skulls, gleaming, with diamante crystals in their eyes.

Embracing the flair and decadence of early 20th century America, these shoes are unquestionably unique. Packed with the Thom Browne’s classic detailing, they could only be the work of the eccentric American designer.

Proudly handmade in England, this classic wingtip brogue features a premium suede leather upper in bright, clean white. Embracing the brand’s distinctly American aesthetic, the clean upper is goodyear welted to a lightweight micro-sole that is proudly produced in the brand’s red-white-and-blue color scheme. A signature piece through-and-through, the shoe is finished with the signature Thom Browne tricolor ribbon tab on the heel.

Today, The Brooklyn Circus is having an event in its San Francisco shop to celebrate the style and function of the Red Wing Heritage Iron Ranger. One of Red Wing Heritage’s most classic styles, Iron Ranger boots were built with a double layer of leather over the toe to provide miners in Minnesota’s Mesabi Iron Range with an extra measure of safety. The heel pocket, a boot feature designed to provide extra support, was moved to the outside of the boot. This design eliminated a seam and provided a smooth and comfortable one-piece surface on the inside of the boot.

An inspiring collection of poems, meditations, and lyrics by one of the world’s most revered musical legends.

Bob Marley’s music defined a movement and forever changed a nation. Known worldwide for their message of peace and unity, Marley’s songs—from “One Love” to “Redemption Song” to “Three Little Birds”—have touched millions of lives. This collection is the best of Bob Marley presented in three parts: “The Man,” giving an in-depth look into the life of Bob Marley; “The Music,” comprising his most memorable lyrics as well as links to many of his songs in iTunes; and “The Revolution,” containing his meditations on social equality and the Rastafari movement. Enriched with iconic photographs, Listen to Bob Marley provides insight into a reggae legend, the inspirational man behind the music.

This ebook features an introduction by daughter Cedella Marley and an illustrated biography of Cedella including rare photographs from her personal collection. Available here.

The “New Asia” style of hospitality finds one of its most rarefied expressions in the New Majestic Hotel, located in the heart of Singapore’s Chinatown. An open-concept period-inspired lobby shows the imaginative possibilities of this marriage of old and new, or “heritage chic”, as the hotel calls its particular design savvy, which also takes into account its period furniture dating from the 1920s to the 1960s.

Individually designed rooms, 30 in all, continue the mix of vintage and designer furniture, customized baths, and can include private gardens and six-meter ceilings in attic-style suites. Five rooms have also been personalized by some of Singapore’s most influential talents from cinema, theatre and fashion. Every detail from bedding (the New Majestic calls it a “bedscape”) to bathroom (freestanding copper tubs) has been re-imagined. Some rooms feature floor to ceiling mirrors; others feature aquarium-themed transparent bathrooms. Back downstairs, The Majestic Restaurant is a sleek reinterpretation of one of Singapore’s favorite Chinese dining rooms and serves modern Cantonese cuisine.

One of the first things visitors to the Bob Marley Museum see upon entering the premises at 56 Hope Road in Kingston is the singer’s baby-blue 1976 Land Rover. The museum is, temporarily, down one attraction, though, as the classic car was recently sent to a Land Rover dealer in Montego Bay to be assessed for a planned restoration, following years of exposure to the elements. Said to be Bob’s favorite ride, the truck has proven to be very popular with museum visitors—and staff. The Bob Marley Foundation’s general manager, Jacqueline Lynch-Stewart, said the removal of the vehicle has been “very traumatic” for workers there. “Any time anything goes it is traumatic. They get a little emotional.” That mellow mood shouldn’t last long, as the vehicle is slated to return to its usual place out in front of the museum following any necessary fixes.

The Rocksmith team headed down to New Orleans for a spring 2012 lookbook video, shot by Lazlo and featuring the team of premiere skate boutique Madsoulz. Their chant of “Swag Gumbo” was exactly what the Rocksmith were thinking for inspiration, and they managed to score the video to Clams Casino. The video features a clean selection including the Rock Lauren woven, Academy oxford hooded button up, Signature raw Japanese denim, and Heritage cotton twill Ninjas jacket.

With the buzz of the Converse and Gorillaz footwear collaboration making its way through the footwear forums of the internet. The Gorillaz’s Murdoc Niccals has resurfaced, and this time to announce the track with their mystery collaborators for the Three Artists, One Song song.

“After nearly a year underground (or lurking in the dark corners of who-knows-where), the Gorillaz’s Murdoc Niccals has resurfaced and is again wreaking havoc — this time over the airwaves. It seems in fact that, following a dramatic exit from the Gorillaz’s Plastic Beach HQ, the miserable despot Murdoc Niccals has created yet another pirate radio station and is now sending transmissions from a brand new mystery location. What’s this all about? Tune in to the weekly broadcasts to find out.”
