Cool Hunting
CH ally and Sneaker Freaker founding editor Woody is going large this with launch parties for Issue #10 taking place in eleven of the world's top cities. Starting off in his home town of Melbourne last week, Woody is now up in the skies on his way to party in Berlin (24 July), hitting Johannesburg, London and Naples on 26 July, Singapore and Copenhagen on 27 July, Boston and Reykjavik on 28 July, Mexico City on 31 July and, completing the near-around-the-world tour in Auckland on 2 August. Given the eclectic and electric vibes of past Sneaker Freaker global events, it's likely the launch of Issue #10 will be one of the best events you're ever likely to attend. Throw on your dancing shoes and welcome in the latest issue in your nearest town. (Just make sure you scrub up those sneakers—no ratty canvas allowed.)

Colors devotes a black-white-issue issue to them."

This segment will include some of their own work as well as an interesting music unofficial promo video recently released for...
It may be warm and bright outside but Beautiful/Decay magazine seems to have been languishing in darkness. Their newest, Issue S, presents a mix of ill–omened themes such as death metal, ritual suicide and the Dark Ages. Hanna Liden's eerie photo series of masked figures (cover image, above left) set in dark swamps only adds to the foreboding effect. Wu-Tang Clan's the RZA wanders...
I too made it to Nextfest, Wired Magazine's showcase of all things futuristic. Interestingly, the press day was also the education day so it was a great chance to see how kids responded to all the exhibits. It was no surprise that they found all things glowing and blinking to be most interesting. The big differentiator for today's youth is the expectation for interactivity--...
