Or…expansion?

I’ve been thinking for a long time about my blog and where I want to go with it. Obviously, I receive more comments and feedback from women, but if I want my blog to appeal to everyone, I need to be fair.

Men’s fashion is nice. I just got over Fashion Week and I don’t want to do this for a very long time, so I’ve got a little prezzy for all you boys that are interested in fashion but turned off by the stereotypical definition of fashion. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to dress up

Let’s not beat around the bush: Here are 6 websites/blogs dedicated to men’s style and culture. Enjoy!

DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION NOW GUYS?

Although they are a bit subtler than the shoes in the previous post, these are sweet nonetheless. Vans released some info on a four shoe collaboration with artist R. Crumb (I’ll be waiting for the Fritz the Cat pair). These SK8-HI’s feature Mr. Natural. Dig:

(Thanks, SlamXHype)

Last night saw the London launch of Slam X Hype’s magazine The New Order.

Not slowing doing at all, Alife has opened another ridiculously good looking store, the A.R.C. Sports Store, in the Lower East Side of NYC. So…if you happen to be there you should swing by.

On another note, and with visual documentation after the store pics below, Alife has teamed up with New Balance to release some nice ass 1300’s.

The Nike Air Max 90 Moire, scheduled for release in Spring ‘09, has a one-piece upper and is just classy as hell. If I was gonna work out I’d work out in these, I think…

If you like Damien Hirst, but can’t quite afford to part with a hundred million, maybe just kick down 75K or so and pick up one of 50 skulls painted using his scientifically-proven spin painting technique…this amazing technique can also be applied to denim. Just messing with you, Damien, cheer up, I think the skulls look nice.

“British artist, Alan Jaras, creates beautiful works of art using the simplest subject, light. With a light passing through transparent objects such as textured glass, Jaras is able to capture these light refraction patterns directly onto 35mm film, without using a lense.”

Below is only two of the works, to see the others for yourself head over to NZ-created Slam x Hype.

VNGRD launched their online store, The Steal, a year ago…and that’s about all I know about ‘em. I really just thought this Octopus jacket was nice. It’s too flashy for me, but I’d love to see someone in the purple one, and it combines satisfaction of my love for cephalopods with pretty colors. I sleep easy.

(I saw it a couple places, but Slam X Hype)

Now, we’ve seen a couple glimpses of the Nike Air Yeezy, developed by Mr. West and Mark Smith. Here’s a new version created for famed Nike designer Tinker Hatfield. I’m almost sure that these shoes will never come out. Once again, I couldn’t wear them. Not a big high-top rocka, y’know. But dope anyhow.

If you didn’t know, Daniel Johnston is, basically, a crazy person who produces some great music and, just maybe, greater art. His first solo exhibition is set to hit Milan at the Antonio Colombo Arte Contemporanea during the Traffic Free Festival. If you have the chance, and who does, you should check it out for reals.

Artist Tim Biskup has an exhibition at Jonathan Levine Gallery, in case you care. Nice stuff…

(From Slam X Hype)

Nice new stuff from Head Porter and The Reed Space, both of whom be the okey-dokey, if you know what I’m saying. If not, they still have some baggage accessories for anything you feel like accessorizing, in clean colorways. Catch up…

(Slam X Hype)

Mishka has designed some of the nicest looking, yet completely controversial pieces of the past few years. Their collab with Richard Kern is crazy!

(Slam X Hype)

If you happen to be strolling around NYC in the next few, you might just bump into something like this from Nick Walker:

(Check for more of this prettiest type of cancer at Slam X Hype and Wooster Collective)

I wasn’t gonna post this, keep it for myself, but I really like this jacket by Paul Smith and Tonite.

(I getting this, Slam X Hype)

I saw this a couple places on the web, but saw Slam X Hype’s coverage first…so they get the incredibly lucrative opportunities of one or two click throughs from my blog. This is in the East Village, NYC, and seems to be anonymous, which makes it better for me, for some reason. Dig it:

If you happen to be in the windy city of chi, like some of my relatives, and are into contemporary art, you should definitely check out the show at DvA Gallery tomorrow, April 26th. Peep them pics:

(Thanks Slam X Hype)

Goodenough released this patchwork zip up hoodie (full hood zip, mind you), and it is one of the nicest things I’ve seen in a while that I’d actually wear. Good luck finding it. This would make me feel flyer that lobbies of W’s…
