Ever want to show off to your friends by giving them stuff from all the places you have gone too thereby rubbing it in their faces that you are better and have more money than them? Well for us that can’t afford to travel all over the world, there is a store that can give [...]

Photographer GĂ©rard Rancinan shot nearly 900 of China’s Olympic hopefuls over the last three years during visits to sports schools in the cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Shenyang. The athletes ranged in age from roughly eight to 30 and represented almost every Olympic sport. The full portfolio comes together as a portrait of China’s [...]

Yohji Yamamoto, Adidas, Y-3 Design

07.21.08 // Modern Art & Design + Stylish Funk + Vida Beat // (0)

I am liking the new line up from the latest in the Y-3 collection. Although, I really don’t see many people wanting to wear the stuff, any collection that features boots that ninjas can wear is awesome by my standards. Maybe Adidas can pair up with a sword company soon for cool sword designs, then [...]

Makr, Leather, Wallets

07.01.08 // Stylish Funk + Vida Beat // (0)

Thanks to Kitsune Noir and Josh Spear, I have fallen in love with the new collection of wallets from Makr. Makr is an “appreciation of the simple, the durable and the timelessness of thoughtful design.” The Tonal Plaid and the Herringbone patterns pictured above would be my top choices. I actually have been carrying around [...]

Diesel, Collection, Advertisement

I like Diesel. While their clothes may be a tad overpriced at times, and I think they run their sizes too small, I do believe they make great fashion. I am also enjoying their new campaign and advertisements since its different from what the other companies are doing. Basically, you aren’t seeing naked men and [...]

Dubai, Shape Shifting Skyscraper, Rotating Floors

06.25.08 // Modern Art & Design + Vida Beat // (0)

“Dubai is Effing Crazy” emotes my co-worker, and truth me told, she is correct. The fact that they are able to build a rotating skyscraper, where each floor will rotate independently, greatly promotes the insane construction boom going on in Dubai. Many will wonder if this project will even get its foot off the ground, [...]

Because shirt with guns on them are cool. I just wish they didn’t cost as much as your soul to buy.

PikaPika Project

I wish I could tell the readers what this project is about, but that year of taking Japanese in College has taught me absolutely nothing and has rendered me unable to read anything related to this in their blog. Although, if you watch their about movie you will learn that PikaPika means an abstract animation [...]

Where The Hell Is Matt, 2008, Video

14 months in the making. 42 countries visited. A cast of thousands. Matt’s first video of him traveling around the world and dancing had a bajillion views. This one, features many dancing along with him. Trying to ignore the fact that I am extremely jealous of him, this video will most likely gather as many [...]
