Cool Hunting
"We know you want to floss it," says fashion label Married To The Mob’s release for their new KAWS branded bikini. As any self-respecting thug fashionista would. MOB’s launch pool party at the Hotel QT brought girls, boys, booze and bikinis together for one wet night on 20 June. "The event was definitely the party of the summer, no fuck that, the party of the year. I feel bad for anyone who missed out," says the no nonsense MOB founder and creative director Leah McSweeney. Promoting a "tough girl aesthetic" Leah often dives into the downtown art and graffiti scene for inspiration. In her latest collabo for the "Hands" bikini, the KAWS Companion character appears strategically placed on this classic cut, seriously sexy little number. Heads up, summer’s going fast and so will these. A total of 100 were made and are only available at ALife, New York; Colette, Paris; and OriginalFake – a new shop created by Medicom Toy Co. and KAWS in Tokyo.

The look this year, called "The Rattle," is a little more feisty, a refreshingly provocative design compared to the playful "hands" debut of 2006. With a...

by Jeremy Brautman Vannen Watches, based loosely around the Swedish word vännen (meaning "friends") brings some of today's best lowbrow art to wrists. Longtime watch fan and founder David Stowe wanted to fill the void in a medium that doesn’t always pair fashion with function, while incorporating his idea that working with friends helps people discover artists thus creating new friends. Stowe also hopes that...
What happens when designers known for making furniture from trash take on one of the most preppy clothing brands? Brazilian brothers Fernando and Humberto Campana ditch French restraint to riff on Lacoste's signature crocodile for a series of limited edition shirts due out this holiday season, the fourth such collaboration for the label. The project also references the designers' own ouevre, playing on a...
An exclusive first look, Context drops another collabo today, this time with Kicking Mule Workshop for an ultra limited-edition pair of denim pants. A small production of only 50 pairs worldwide, the shuttle-loomed denim leaves a clean white selvage line—but the dying process is what really sets them apart. To make the dye, harvests of the indigo leaves from the Okayama Prefecture in Japan...
