GOLD

 
GOOOOOOOOOOOOLD   There is something about GOLD. when I was younger, I picked GOLD to make me look bigger, richer, reliable, impressive, hiphop, big bills, whatever you wanted to be. After some time gone by and think I am more mature now, I just have realized that I am still loving GOLD.
Now I am interested in GOLD watch, this iPhone case, rings etc, and I am here to say I love GOLD and you will see me more with GOLD.

BAMFORD DRX ARMY NAVY WATCHES

Bamford DRx Army Navy Watches
Comic strips and luxury watches typically have little in common, which is why these Bamford DRx Army Navy Watches ($24,500-$32,500) are so unique. The result of a collaboration between King Features Syndicate and Darren Romanelli, these custom Rolexes have been created by the loving hands of the Bamford Watch Department. Beetle Bailey appears on the face — and hands — of a customized Submariner, while Popeye makes his presence known on the front of a customized Yacht Master, and each arrives in an appropriately Army- or Navy-themed metal box, along with a nylon strap, and a custom comic strip. Limited to just 20 examples each and available at eight select boutiques in LA, Miami, Paris, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore.


Everybody street: Ricky Powell







Everybody Street is a new documentary that takes an insightful look at the lives and work of some of NYC’s most iconic street photographers and the city that continues to inspire them. Paying tribute to the spirit of the city through director Cheryl Dunn’s intimate portraits of the artists, Everybody Street looks to be an exciting feature length production.

Spanning six decades and featuring Bruce Davidson , Elliott Erwitt, Jill Freedman, Bruce Gilden, Joel Meyerowitz, Rebecca Lepkoff, Mary Ellen Mark, Jeff Mermelstein, Clayton Patterson, Ricky Powell, Jamel Shabazz, Martha Cooper, Jeff Mermelstein, and Boogie, with Max Kozloff and Luc Sante, Everybody Street was included in the Hot Docs International Documentary Festival’s official selection.

 The designers nominated for the CFDA award for emerging talent, sponsored by crystal company Swarovski, all made “objects d’art” with Swarovski crystals to sell at the store Fivestory in New York. The CFDA awards are like the Oscars of the fashion industry, so you know giving these designers a bunch of sparkles and letting them run wild can only be a good thing.

2013年のCFDA SWAROVSKI AWARDに、Todd Snyderがノミネートされたのは、多くの方々がご存知の事と思います。そうだと願っています。。。。。その中で、Swarovskiが、今回ノミネートされた各デザイナーに、それぞれが好むアイテムにクリスタルを施すという洒落た/高そうーな企画を開催しました。我ら、Todd Snyderは、結構地味?だけど、とってもToddらしいアイテムですね。これらの作品は、アッパーイーストに有ります、Fivestoryというショップで販売いたします。かなりリミテッドですよね?
