CNN: What's Next: 'Cool Hunting'
by Josh Rubin
We didn't get an actual mention in this story, but they scanned several of our pages in the B-roll.
Nokia E70
by Josh Rubin
I've always detested the Blackberry and am recently over my Treo. Lately I've been using the E70 is a butterfly phone like the earlier E61. Other features in both phones include a 2MP camera, WiFi, Bluetooth and Push-to-talk. Available early next year.
Anticon Hoodie
by Evan Orensten
We're trying to get more details on this great new hoodie from France. The hood has a zipper and eye holes, which allow you to completely cover up your face in inclement weather—or when you just want to look like Kenny from South Park, Spiderman, or terrorize young children and bank tellers. We love it and will update you when we learn more. From Anticon.
Oddzballz
by Josh Rubin
Oddzballz are mobile phone charms created by Elsa Kawai. Slupeez, Qwepeez and Oddbeez (left to right) are each available in an edition of 200. Phone charms are quite popular in Asia, but haven't quite taken off here in the US yet. Maybe making them a limited edition thing is the twist needed to tip.
Thanks, Kevin.
SVSV Aformofwar
by Josh Rubin
Aformofwar is the second line from bespoke luxury street-wear brand, Serum Versus Venom (SVSV). The collection, an exploration into fragility, protection, form and conflict features carbon fiber twills, knits and fleece-- all fireproof. Bamboo fiber, camel hair and monocashmere are also used to create the mostly outerwear line designed by Jenna Rivers. “The first collection focused on lush natural fibers and the occasional exaggeration of traditional street wear silhouettes. This collections is an about-face adhering purely to function and reductionism,” said David Gensler, Creative Director. Gensler also makes it clear that the name of the new line, aformofwar, defines the position SVSV takes against other street wear and luxury brands.
Check out their look book, it's a gorgeous combination of the photography of Kareem Black and Arabic calligraphy details by MDOT. Pay close attention to the bullets worn by some of the models, they're made of porcelain by artist Sarah Cihat and will be available on the SVSV site in time for the holidays.
