"The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air x Puma

the fresh prince of bel-air x puma - highsnobiety

A tribute to the hugely popular and critically acclaimed TV sitcom, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”, PUMA takes a look back at 148 episodes of freshness.

Inspired by the hugely popular sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”, starring Will Smith as a young street smart teenager from West Philadelphia who is sent to live with his rich Aunt and Uncle in a huge Bel-Air mansion. The show, which aired between 1990 and 1996, delivered many laughs and is credited for accelerating the growth of hip hop fashion around the globe.
The inspiration for the products is drawn from the lifestyle clash of street versus preppy, declined in two very different footwear styles, each completed with matching wristwatches:

The West Philly First Round, which sports the original graffiti artwork featured in the opening sequence of the show. This sequence had a similar look & feel as the music videos DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince were creating at the time. Shoe features include a classic suede vamp, a rubber fine mold Fresh Prince of Bel Air logo on the tongue and 3D screen-printed side panel.

The white croc Bel-Air Clyde is embossed with classic croc and constructed with the best Italian leather available. The shoe features a PUMA X Fresh Prince medallion badge, metallic gold form strip and lining, Bel Air raised screenprint and exclusive artwork from the graffiti wall on the sockliner.

Both shoes come in a specially designed velvet bag with metallic gold embroidery. 1032 pairs per style will be available at select retailers world-wide. The watches follow the same principle: first the acid green PU wristband Agitation digital model, contrasts against the heavy-quality golden Forcer Bel-Air model.

Hanon will be carrying both packs as of May."

This Art is seriuos

"Running the Numbers
An American Self-Portrait

This series looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on. My hope is that images representing these quantities might have a different effect than the raw numbers alone, such as we find daily in articles and books. Statistics can feel abstract and anesthetizing, making it difficult to connect with and make meaning of 3.6 million SUV sales in one year, for example, or 2.3 million Americans in prison, or 410,000 paper cups used every fifteen minutes. This project visually examines these vast and bizarre measures of our society, in large intricately detailed prints assembled from thousands of smaller photographs. The underlying desire is to emphasize the role of the individual in a society that is increasingly enormous, incomprehensible, and overwhelming.

My only caveat about this series is that the prints must be seen in person to be experienced the way they are intended. As with any large artwork, their scale carries a vital part of their substance which is lost in these little web images. Hopefully the JPEGs displayed here might be enough to arouse your curiosity to attend an exhibition, or to arrange one if you are in a position to do so. The series is a work in progress, and new images will be posted as they are completed, so please stay tuned.

Flying Cars?

The Milner Flying Car:

Will It Get Off the Ground?

MilnerAirCarPMComparoWeb.jpg

If auto shows are about dreams, then the Milner AirCar fits right in.

Tucked away in the back basement of the Javits Convention Center with the trucks and SUVs at the New York International Auto Show was the latest iteration in a long line of dreams: the flying car.

This one is from Milner Motors: It's a narrow body car with a folding wing and a pair of 150-hp pusher fans in back. As co-founder James Milner describes it, "We believe that a truly clean-sheet approach to vehicle design can produce commercially viable vehicles that respond to today's environmental and energy needs in a way never before possible."

Buzz up!





















A Peek into our Classic Pattern Collection.
  • seen on Design sponge

when ibride’s first round of trays came out i think we all fell in love with them. and now that the second collection is out, i’m in love again. their latest series of trays are composites of humans and animals, with a distinctly period feel (and unfortunately, a higher pricetag). i’m a sucker for the goose tray with her little goslings and the big ruffled color on the black and white bird. whether you display them on the wall, use them for serving or just as a way to keep your rings and jewelry in order, these new ibride pieces are definitely worth checking out.

Royal Elastics x Leroy Jenkins - Le Royal

During our recent interview with the Leroy Jenkins people we have announced it already, their shoe collaboration. Today we can already give you a preview of what you will see in stores for Fall 2007.

Royal Elastics got together with Leroy Jenkins on a shoe that could not represent the brand any better. Just like their caps, shorts and hoodies, the shoe comes with a vintage flower pattern mixed with premium leathers. The outcome is a smart looking, sophisticated boot for the Fall/Winter 2007 season. On the back heel you have the Leroy Jenkins logo embroidered. This is a sample, so a few things might still change until release.
