JUSTICE x DIOR is FUCKING ILLL

Legendary fashion house Dior linked up with everyone's favorite Parisian Disco-edit duo, Justice, for the latest Dior Homme Spring/Summer 09 collection, held earlier in July at the Paris Observatory. These still don't even do the show justice [no pun intended], peep the youtub videos to witness magic.

Part 1


Part 2


Under the direction of Heidi Slimanne, menswear designer Kris Van Assche has created an amazing ready-to-wear line, staying true to Slimmane's minimal, slim silhouettes, clean lines, with an edge of dark grunge pairing black and grays with bold hues of blue, magenta, and metallic gold.



Justice's influence extends beyond the music, with each of the models sporting retro-futuristic shades, that when paired with the fashion, creates a visuall stunning, unique look that is reminiscent of street done high fashion.



Fucking Brilliant. Stay tuned for multiple streetwear bites...

In typical Justice fashion, the track features grand, orchestral piano chords, ripping guitar riffs, paired with hard, pulsing bass lines and just some good ol' dirty, dirty electro-synth. Justice might be hyped a lot, but these talented French doods deserve every bit of it. The download for the complete Justice track for Dior Homme S/S09 is available here.

THE GOOD LIFE/TONE LOCO

Yesterday was a double whammy of street culture goodness. Our first stop for the evening was the Good Life Exhibit by Craig Whetherby hosted at Milk Gallery. Showcasing a broad spectrum of his New York-centric work, Whetherby has a way of capturing classic images that still feel very raw and of-the-moment. Included with some unique New York imagery and were shots of some of The City's most familiar faces, shooting OG's like Nas and Ghostface Killah to up-and-comer Santogold, his body of work was straight up dope. Also apparent was his evolution as an artist, showcasing not just the collection of his work, but his growth behind the lens and the sharpening of his focus and visual language.






The played some good ass old school soul, breaks, and funk, and free booxe was provided by Budweiser and Svedka. We ran into a lot of familiar faces, old and new. I spent most the night chopping it up with my boy Vinnie, the Assistant Designer at Subscript and all around chill dood.




Our next stop was Tone's fundraiser at Sutra, which was chill, more good music and good people. I swear, me and Atif are raffle kings, and we took home 2 tees by Kilo and an OK Player package raffled off. Our girl Anna even won a Vane Pendant, haaa.

All in all, it was a solid night, you gotta love Tuesdays in the City.
