When you’re alone and life is making you lonely

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”.

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.

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”.
