Hypebeast Essentials / Vancouver!

Hypebeast recently asked me to list five things I can’t live without as part of their Essentials series. The four of us who were asked are all currently involved in Vancouver’s street fashion scene. That’s me on the bottom left. To my right is Kenta, the creative genius behind Brknhome, and above me are my friends Matt and Vince (Finale Design).

Herbert Baglione

I was gonna post about the amazing artwork of Herbert Baglione and saw that Juxtapoz did me one better and dug up a fantastic interview with Baglione in Sao Paolo, Brazil. The interview is from The Run UP series put together by Fifty24SF Gallery and Upper Playground. Love the opening with Baglione drawing in the sand and the waves erasing the work. “…it’s not what you show people but how it makes you feel inside”.

I snagged a few images of his work, below:

Streetstyl.es

One of the latest trends on the net is the “blog aggregator”. A hub site that collects and displays content from numerous sites and becomes a sort of one-stop shop for a particular niche. Alltop, Popurls, Hypem, Preik – there’s tons of them popping up. However I wasn’t aware of one for the street fashion scene, until today!

Lookbook.nu

Your life is officially over. Well, if you are at all interested in fashion it is. I came across Lookbook about a month ago and my productivity went sub-zero for quite awhile. Aspiring fashionistas upload photos of themselves and attach details of exactly what they’re wearing – photos are hyped up and aggregated on the main page. Simple concept, perfect execution.

My man Gavin out in the Netherlands has got some great videos you’ll want to check out if you’re into street fashion. He’s running Flake.tv which is an online urban lifestyle/fashion channel. So far they’ve got six episodes featuring some of Europe’s finest shops like Colette, Surface to Air, and Trust Nobody.
