Cool Hunting
"We know you want to floss it," says fashion label Married To The Mob’s release for their new KAWS branded bikini. As any self-respecting thug fashionista would. MOB’s launch pool party at the Hotel QT brought girls, boys, booze and bikinis together for one wet night on 20 June. "The event was definitely the party of the summer, no fuck that, the party of the year. I feel bad for anyone who missed out," says the no nonsense MOB founder and creative director Leah McSweeney. Promoting a "tough girl aesthetic" Leah often dives into the downtown art and graffiti scene for inspiration. In her latest collabo for the "Hands" bikini, the KAWS Companion character appears strategically placed on this classic cut, seriously sexy little number. Heads up, summer’s going fast and so will these. A total of 100 were made and are only available at ALife, New York; Colette, Paris; and OriginalFake – a new shop created by Medicom Toy Co. and KAWS in Tokyo.

This year they've smartly teamed up with Krug, creators of Prestige Cuvèe champagne on their latest issue SURPRISE. With only 4,000 numbered copies worldwide, this pop-up issue is the issue to get your hands on...
by Mat Lyon J Shoes recently collaborated with Los Angeles, CA-based magazine metro.pop to produce the limited edition Mpj Boot. With the market saturated by minimally shaped and starkly-colored offerings, we like the refreshing leap back to the roots of shoe design. The Mpj boot reverently bows its head to Native America with its premium leather construction, removable fringe, sock liner made from recycled material...
J. Crew has been making some surprisingly well-executed forays into the luxury market as of late and the latest such unexpected product is a collaboration with the British maker of hand-made traveling cases and trunks, Globe-Trotter. Though the New York-based clothier isn't the first to team up with Globe-Trotter (see the Conran shop's 2007 offering), their partnership goes further introducing a six-piece line of...
DKNY Active Shoes and Semi Precious Weapons frontman/Fetty of Brooklyn jewelry designer Justin Tranter have joined forces to create a limited-edition sneaker. Evoking garage glam spirit of the band and Fetty, the shoes have an upper made of Ballistic Nylon, originally intended for military use and elastic laces with gold-tone aglets and feature removable Fetty "New York Rock" and heart charm hanging from the...
When The Fader recently went about putting together a series of ultra-limited New Eras designed by artists who had been in the magazine, the first artist that came to mind was one Noah Lennox, aka Panda Bear. I'll admit, I'm not the biggest fans of fitted hats myself, but I do love listening to the musical creations of Panda Bear. Being that Panda has...
