We're loving the Cooler-designed window installation that is currently in London's Volcom store. Taking on a Halloween inspired ghool and monsters theme, Volcom let Cooler's very own fashion editor run-riot in the shop and get creative to launch their new-instore AW11 collection. Volcom has always embodied the creative spirit of youth culture, and we couldn't think of a more perfect way to launch the girls collection than collaborating with action lifestyle magazine Cooler. We're loving the illustrations and papier mache monsters.... Drop in to check out their work on Earlham St, Covent Garden, and if you take the current...
We got to chat to Ian Sansom of Black Heart Ltd, the founder and man behind our new favourite snowboarding magazine The Reason. Probably one of the hardest working people we know, Ian has been involved some of our favourite magazines over the past 20 years; from founding Document Skate (RIP) with Percy Dean, his first industry job at Snowboard UK (RIP), to working at pretty much every other UK snowboarding mag around. Not only this, Ian is also responsible for organising the funnest week of the year for any shred dog, The Boardtest, when industry insiders get together to...
Winter is looking better already. The Insight collection is in store and crying out to you cool kids to purchase. We love Insight here, but i'd love it even more if all the boys who wore Insight looked like this.... Needless to say, I look the absolute opposite of some of the models rocking the women's collection. Anyhow, i digress... If you want to hang out online with all the other cool Insight people, then head over to their facebook page which is regularly updated with their team rider news and other bits and bobs regarding the collection. Go forth...
Well, the inner geek in me has finally come to surface. Columbia Sportswear have a free iPhone app that gives you step-by-step instructions on how to tie 70 types of knot. We're not just talking about tying your shoes type of knot, no, we're talking about knots that you need for the greater outdoors. Like Stoppers! Loops! Bends! Hitches! Did you know there was a knots called a Flemish Bend? A Blood Knot? Neither did I, and I'm kind of scared to find out what they're supposed to be used for. Anyway, we all know that there's 3G in Epping...
Fast becoming one of our favourite blogs in the office, Meaningless T-shirts will either make you wee a little from laughter, or offend you if you happen to design t-shirts for the high street. We chatted to Joe Madden, the brains behind it, who kindly answered a few questions for us... How did Meaningless T-Shirts start and what's it all about? Meaningless T-Shirts is a blog dedicated to documenting and dissecting the worldwide phenomenon of clothing emblazoned with banal and nonsensical slogans. “Chicago Sports 1975”, “Beach Team 202”, that kind of shit. Sometimes I try to find hidden meaning...
Cancer Research released some very sobering stats through BBC News yesterday, confirming that Men's Skin Cancer has doubled in 30 years. Apparently, although more women are diagnosed, more men die from the disease. Unfortunately us brits are about as much of a stranger to the sun as cats are to a bag of bricks and a canal; and after the casualties that I saw in Victoria Park last weekend, it appears that hunting out the suntan lotion that you last used circa 1984 is the last thing you want to do when there's a bbq, football and a six pack...
