Hasta La Motion!

Our buddies at Live From the Coast tipped us off to Johannesburg photographer Chris Saunders the other day and we decided to keep the chain mail going by giving it a REEEEEEEEEEEEEPOST. Check out the beautiful slew of portraiture, documentary photography, and fine art but be sure to give an extra special double check to the spread he did for Colors Magazine on the raved out Soweto fashion slums. We can’t really imagine the soundtrack that matches their streetwears but someone should definitely send it to us.

Can you tell we have beach on the mind? All we do is romanticize it for days stuck in the middle of a concrete jungle but summer ain’t sticking around for too much longer. On the other hand, designer Alexandra Cassaniti’s mantra “it’s always summer somewhere” will inspire you to get fitted with her year round neoprene summer collections. Check out her campaign with amigo Spike Jonze endorsing their poolside antics.

Lola Dupre is the Dr. 90210 of the feline world. Her exacto knife has been slicing and dicing the heads off of cats for so long that she has amassed a giant catalog of collage work featuring a veritable petri dish of kitty parts. Sewing, pasting, or hanging the heads of kittens to the bodies of decapitated seals, the hoods of UFOs, or around the silky necks of wafish models gained her a recent feature and cover for Flaunt and brought her kitty surgery to a mass audience while also allowing some of her less Frankensteinian work to be featured as well. Check out her bottomless blog HERE.

We’ve made the Point Break reference once before and now have sincere regrets for doing so. The one analogy that would so perfectly describe Warriors of Radness was wasted so carelessly on another group of Californian outlaws doing some really amazing stuff and now we can hardly live with ourselves. But WOR really are THE OUTLAW SURFER BROS WHO DROVE AROUND IN ARMY SURPLUS JEEPS TERRORIZING TRAFFIC except now they’re a little older and funneling all that mid-20s angst into some locals-only t-shirts, pink pinstriped shorts, and day glo swim wear instead of nose daggering a mountain of cocaine. Shop on their online store HERE or go to Opening Ceremony.

Jean Charles De Castelbajac’s spewing vomit stream of pop culture insanity has the uncanny ability of making guests at his runway shows convulse with caligulan giggle fits at the sheer ridiculousness of their place in what always seems like some bizarre 5th dimensional punch line. Legos, McDonalds, Rubic’s Cubes, and now Muppett’s!!!!! Our face just melted on our keyboards!! He even has that doofus Lady Gaga decked out in Kermit pelts!!!
