I LOVE GRAFFITI OUTSIDE IN movie trailer from Levi's Film Workshop on Vimeo. From Curated – “OUTSIDE IN is a celebratory and historical look at street art through the lens of the Museum of Contemporary Art’s groundbreaking exhibition Art in the Streets. The film features renowned artists Shepard Fairey, Lee Quiñones, Swoon, Futura, Mister Cartoon, Revok, Martha Cooper, Invader to name a few. Director Alex Stapleton (Corman’s World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel) documents the artist’s creative process, their pitfalls with the law, the poetic impermanence of their craft and the artists’ evolution from the back seat of a cop car to the walls of a well-respected institution.” Filmed at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) in conjunction with the exhibitionArt in the Streets.

To celebrate its 90th anniversary Gucci launches a special collection titled “1921,” the year Guccio Gucci founded the illustrious leather goods house. The “1921″ collection includes four slick leather “G-frame” styles for women and two styles of the “Coupe” silhouette for men designed by Frida Giannini. Glamorous and classic, the kind of watch you will want to wear for a very long time. In my PG version of Kreayshawn it’s not about needing the double Gs to look fly, but more about an appreciation for an icon who time and time again provides the hotness. On the next page a look at the men’s styles.For more information visit Gucci’s timepieces microsite Gucci Timeless.
AND I THOUGHT MY TOY ROOM WAS FRESH Mark Parker’s office on Nike campus, is full of paraphernalia. It’s a visual overload when you first walk in. It’s not exactly the office you’d expect a top CEO to have, but when you consider that Parker started out as a designer for Nike over three decades ago, it makes a bit more sense. Parker is all about visual stimulation and inspiration. One of his mantras is “Be a Sponge.” And it’s obvious that he lives by it. He also lives by the idea that collaboration is key and that design is the foundation of any company’s success. We know that Nike serves the athlete, but over the past 10 or more years, it’s been serving a few contemporary artists and designers as well, like Hiroshi Fujiwara, Futura, KAWS, Marc Newson, and coming up, Tom Sachs. In 2009, Nike was a key player in Livestrong and Lance Armstrong’s “Stages” exhibition, which included work by Ed Ruscha, Richard Prince, Shepard Fairey, Aaron Young, and more. In 2003 Nike’s exhibition “White Dunk” asked artists to reinterpret the iconic, all-white Nike Dunk basketball shoe. The show touched down at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, Minami Aoyama in Tokyo, and LACE Galleries in Los Angeles. via fubiz/whitewall
