Street Style Al Jaffee to Design T-Shirt for Plazm
Posted by Alison Hallett on Fri, Jul 31, 2009 at 1:07 PM
Plazm recently announced that the January shirt in their Plazm Thread T-Shirt of the Month Club will be designed by MAD magazine's Al Jaffee, creator of "Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions" and the magazine's famous Fold-In covers. I'm going to wait and see what the design looks like before dropping $99 on a 6-month, 6-shirt subscription, but... neat.

Street Style Minhternet Video: Nightvision
Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Tue, Jul 21, 2009 at 11:44 AM
Frequent Mercury contributing photographer Minh Tran just sent me his video project, "Nightvision." Part documentation of what the kids are doing and wearing while you're home asleep, part lovenote to PDX's DJ and club scene, it is perhaps overlong, but filled with flattering images of tipsy young things. In other words, you can probably take it.

Street Style New Kids Explain "Cruising," "Mankini"
Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Mon, May 18, 2009 at 3:09 PM
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU New Kids on the Block for taking time out of your busy "cruising" schedule (okay, fine, they're currently on a NKOTB ship cruise with a bunch of their fans) to explain the intricacies of male grooming. To start…
Right you are, Danny. I'm doing that as we speak… but what about Mankinis? I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MANKINIS!!
No Speedos or Mankinis
When asked which one of them packed a speedo, the other four members shout "Danny!" But Danny says his swimsuit won't be that revealing: "John Mayer may get away with a mankini, but the rest of us can't.""What's a mankini?" Donnie asks.
"It's like a speedo with suspenders, but all one piece," explains Joey.
Oh sweet Jesus, I want to go on this cruise, just so I can sink the ship and die with these people.

Shoe / Street Style Goonie Shoes: Would You Wear Them?
Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 10:23 AM
Puma has introduced a new pair of sneaks based on the classic flick THE GOONIES.
Called The Goonies Disc Blaze, the sneakers features a "twist tie" system instead of laces and will hit stores in December 2008. Sez Slashfilm...
The sneakers feature original artwork of the famous One Eyed Willie treasure map, in addition to the Goonies film logos on heel, sockliner and midsole and a silhouette of the Goonies and Sloth watching the pirate ship go down.
Yes, you love The Goonies... BUT WILL YOU WEAR THIS SHOE?

Street Style CUTE ALERT! of the Week
Posted by Ann-Marie on Sun, Jun 15, 2008 at 11:15 PM
Who: Nagi Noda, infamous Japanese director/art director/artist
What: Her latest work, Hair Hats
I'm noticing a very hairy trend... Two years ago, I had the chance to collaborate with Icelandic artist Hrafnhildur Arnardóttir, aka Shoplifter (she made Bjork's hair sculpture on the Medúlla album cover) on an installation during NYC Fashion Week. The Shoplifter's amazing garlands of human-hair braids covered the walls and stole the show. This past season, my friend Jules Kim aka Bijules, created an accessories collection called Hairem, featuring human-hair hairrings, necklaces, a bun pillbox hat, and a glasses lariat, all designed to let the wearer add a clever streak of hair color, without having to dye their own. Now, Japanese artist Nagi Noda adds her unique spin to this trend by creating Hair Hats, a collection of fifteen human hair sculptures, intricately molded into various animals, my personal fave being the poodle-fro! Wear one of these to your next editorial fashion shoot or Purple Magazine afterparty, feathers in your hair is so last season!
