When you’re alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go – downtown
When you’ve got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know – downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?

After shooting Gant Rugger last spring for a photo-feature we did with the brand we became instant fans.
Now Gant Rugger released their Fall/Winter 2010 Lookbook video called “The Adventure To Cape Cod”.
Working together with two Triumph motorcycle enthusiasts and Washington based alternative rockband U.S. Royalty Gant Rugger made a great campaign. Highlighting the collection and embracing American heritage sportswear.

As the last couple of years H&M is collaborating with a fashion designer to get high-end fashion to the masses.
Like me, you probably can’t wait for the the amusing sight of screaming women queuing up for you local H&M at 8 in the morning and tearing the shop up.
However this might be an interesting one cause it seems to be the first collaboration that would be really interesting for men.
H&M made this little teaser video. Can you figure out who he is?

The first line of this trailer is brilliant:” But as an artist you’re kinda like, you know: Fuck you, I ain’t gonna work for you. Why would I work for you, I’m gonna work for myself. I’m gonna draw some stuff, I’m gonna sell it… I don’t need you.” This sets the tone for this documentary about two artists, in two cities. Mike Giant and Mike Maxwell. San Francisco and San Diego.
Hosted by Jesse Thorn and Adam Lisagor “Put This On” make video’s with the subtitle “A web series about dressing like a grownup”.
After the first episode “Denim” and the second “Shoes”, the third episode is named “Work”.
“Work” is about “Why do you wear what you wear for work?”. Interviewing Paul Feig, director of for example 30th Rock, and giving you tips how you can dress appropriate for work.
A nice web series that is definitely worth the watch.

The Polaroid is Dead! This is a sentence which most people would agree with; but with the rise of uber-sharp images in both video and pictures, creatives are dusting the dust off their parents Polaroid camera. This is made apparent with the revival of the Polaroid factory in Enschede, The Netherlands, by The Impossible Project, who provide specially made film for all users. But the question still remains, are Polaroid’s art? This discussion came about last year, when readers of The Moment argued about the artistic merit of Andy Warhol Polaroids. Artist & filmmaker Julian Schnabel, now adds fire to the discussion by realeasing his own series of Polaroids in his book “Julian Schnabel: Polaroids.” The book includes images of his Montauk, N.Y., studio, his family and a series called “Crazy People,” where Schnabel photographed Lou Reed, Placido Domingo, Christopher Walken, the Beastie Boys and Mickey Rourke. The book is set for release and can be pre-ordered on Amazon.com.
