    The Drums – “Magic Mountain” (Official Video) Volume One

    Presented as a black and white mini movie , The Drums released their music video for their single “Magjc Mountain”. It follows them up a mountain( that I assume is magic) while they explore their surroundings while wearing armor and shooting flames from their hands and picking up diamonds. Shout out to Elizabeth Taylor. I wonder if that will make more sense in volume two installment. The Drums new album Encyclopedia is released on September 22nd.

    Every Brand Mentioned in Sex And City

    From Chanel to Clorox.  A video titled Brand in the city took the time to find every brand ever mentioned in the series, and compiled it into a nine minute video. Maybe  Brands and the City should have been the original title. Only a sexy super-fan would have taken the time to  create this,but  oh and aren’t we all super-fans. No judgment passed. Product placement never sounded so sassy.  Enjoy

    Vintage Art by Federico Hurtado

    Hurtado’s technique emphasizes the materiality of the books themselves. The covers and pages are not erased or replaced but become part of the work, framing the altered imagery and adding context and texture. This approach gives his pieces a layered quality, where past and present, original and altered, collide in visually striking ways. The original content of the books informs the new narratives, lending a sense of continuity while inviting reinterpretation.

    The color palette relied on soft pastels, creating an understated base that contrasted sharply with the dramatic shapes and unexpected textures of the garments. Mesh, metallic fabrics, and layered construction introduced tension and visual complexity, allowing the collection to feel both playful and confrontational. Each piece balanced refinement with rebellion, highlighting Michael’s keen understanding of form and movement.

    The color palette was measured and deliberate. While not overly bold, select patterns and graphic depictions of stained-glass introduced bursts of vibrancy, providing visual contrast against a foundation of muted, thoughtful tones. This careful approach allowed the intricate design work to stand out without overwhelming the overall aesthetic.

    Michael Sontag’s Spring Summer 2015 collection at Berlin Fashion Week fully embraced the ethos of Normcore, celebrating understated style and effortless cool.

There is a quiet confidence to the collection, the kind that makes simple choices feel deliberate and modern.

    The Times by artist Fred Tomaselli

    The work has a playful yet meticulous energy. Tomaselli reimagines headlines, photographs, and layout elements, turning them into intricate designs that merge abstraction, decoration, and cultural commentary. There is a sense of nostalgia for the printed page, combined with a contemporary approach to color, texture, and form. Each piece is unique, elevating a widely consumed daily object into something rare and collectible.

    Graphic and diverse pin ups. Strong textiles with vintage shapes and a heavy emphasis on accessories including, sunglasses,head  wraps and big hoop earrings. This show followed the motto “More is more” but it still ended up looking fine. Reminiscent of the recent Giamattista Valli Haute Couture show in Paris they both had a vintage throwback feel. With the Lena Hoschek show being a bit more severe in styling, color and shapes. source:
