Sin in Linen
by Josh Rubin
Marisa over at Needled feeds my skull fetish with her post today about Sin in Linen, which does fefature more than just skull themed bedding. Other patterns on their 100% cotton sateen, 230 thread count sets include pin-up girls and tattoo flash art.
Greg Foley of Visionaire, 6 Questions
by Ami Kealoha
Designer, author, and nascent director, Greg Foley seems blessed with a Midas touch, effortlessly undertaking new projects and working fluidly within several mediums. As the Creative Director of the quarterly conceptual magazine, Visionaire, since its inception in 1991 and as Design Director of its six-year-old offshoot, the bimonthly V Magazine, this native Texan has worked with everyone from Kidrobot (images after the jump) to The Pet Shop Boys (he's responsible for the Grammy-nominated cover design of their 2002 album, Release) and designed everything from jewelry to cell phone prototypes. On a recent Sunday, I chatted with the man-of-many-talents about his college band, how we're all children, and intellectual property. It's all part of our series on the speakers from the upcoming Semi-Permanent conference that we're cosponsoring, so catch him there if you can.
I Dream of Tokyu Hands
by Wendy Dembo
Part 2 of my Tokyo review, stores:
Juvenile Delinquent - for the blinged-out zoot suit look. The suits are classic zoot, but the accessories are totally blinged-out. Gold necklaces, sunglasses with decorated with diamonds, tie pins, canes and tattoo inspired wife-beaters. They also have casual shirts and some women's clothing. For the super-style set.
Armored Galley - "Bringing out the aggressor that's hidden deep inside you" is the theme of the Armored Gallery. It sells the most realistic and expensive airsoft guns ever. Guns are illegal in Japan, and maybe that is part of the fascination. Entering this store is like walking into a Wal-Mart in the middle of the US with racks and racks of guns. They look so real; it is hard to believe that people only use them to play mock military-stytle games.
