Art | KRAFTWERK at Tate...



Everybody knew that. What? That the Tate website would have crashed today.
A little introduction: KRAFTWERK, the mythological German electro band will be performing live next Feb 2013 at the Tate Modern, in a series of gigs (the dame Show that they did in NYC last April).
Today at 7.30am the tickets were supposed to be sold online. This has caused the crash. Ugh!!!

Brands | Blue Blanket






We remember that once, in the past, long time ago, denim was a synonymous of USA. All the denim stuff came from there. The big players were Levi's and Lee. No doubts. Then, something has finally happened. It's always a pleasure, to me, to discover a new brand. A pleasure even bigger if the brand is from Italy like The Blue Blanket. A brand established and runned by a true denim connoisseur and collector, Antonio Di Battista. The project is really simple: honest and very good products plus a sick attention to details. No frills. Very good. We love it!

People | Maurizio Donadi


We already wrote about Maurizio Donadi almost one year ago. He was still Vice President at Levis Vintage Clothing in Amsterdam. We've already had a great admiration for his job, for LVC but also for what he was able to do with RRL. Now we've read he's just launched a Consultancy Agency, together with his wife, called Conduit Creative. Reading here and there is going to work with a brand like Filson, so we're terribly curious to see what is coming out in the next months. Congratulazioni Maurizio, and, as we say in Italy, "in bocca al lupo"!

Breaking News | Alexander Wang


So it sounds almost official: Alexander Wang will be the next Front-Runner at Balenciaga

Web | Edwin Journal





In this general flatness (see the post below....), we've appreciated the freshness and beauty of the Edwin Journal.  We have to confess that we've never been fans of Edwin Jeans. We thought they were banal and "cheap". We were absolutely wrong. We've added the Journal to our "must-check-every-day" list. You should do the same!

News | We're back!

Ok. Sorry for the lack of news and information. Our last post was in September: an era ago. We have to admit that nothing particularly significant has happened since then. It looks like Streetwear/Fashion System is in the middle of the river. Lately we've seen just releases and releases, every single day. Blogs have become kind of catalogues that post the same pictures and news. Boring? Yes. Honestly.
Anyway, let's start again... :-)

Web | JUMBLOG


A new web blog was born in these days: JUMBLOG. It's runned by italian graphic designer / dj / performer / king-of-cool Jumbo and I'm pretty sure will soon become one of my fave bookmarks.


Art | SITUATION GIGI An Auction by Artists in Aid of Gigi Giannuzzi



Gigi Giannuzzi, the maverick publisher of Trolley Books
and more recently TJ Boulting gallery, was recently
diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas. This is devastating
news for many who know him and respect his work as one
of the bravest and most beautiful of creative forces,
publishing through Trolley many important stories
through photography, reportage and contemporary art,
but also personally, as a rare and one-off crazy spirit.
To support him now, as he has helped and recognised many over the
years, artists who know Gigi have donated their work for a special
auction to help raise money for him. The funds will go towards alternative
cancer treatments which he is currently seeking at a private clinic near
Munich, Germany. The auction will feature works by many major artists,
as well as several who have worked directly with Gigi over the years.
In particular Polly Morgan and Mat Collishaw have been the driving
force behind the artists and auction itself, and Sarah Lucas, who has
given over her 'situations' space for the night, has hence given the
name of the auction - SITUATION GIGI.

We hope that many of you will be able to support the auction
by bidding on the works available either online or in person
at the auction itself. Many thanks in advance for all
your help and support!

Life | Terremoto


Maybe many of you, living outside Italy, aren't aware that a huge area around my hometown Modena has been hit by a couple of terrible earthquake, last 20th and 29th of May, causing 26 victims, 15.000 homeless, panic, fear and devastation. A good friend, but first of all a very talented photographer, Marco Marzocchi, took a series of dramatic pictures that witness the day after thet first event on May 20th. You can find more here, on the Wired Italia website.

Labour And Wait is a small and very nice shop located in East London (you can find also a cosy corner in the top floor of DoverStreetMArket store in London). We always enjoy getting there because you can find stuff coming from another era. They have recently redesigned their website and now you can have the chance to shop online. Very interesting.
