—01. Egg nog canvas.

Words

The Nigel Cabourn x Converse CT Plimsole is a great addition to the classic sneaker market. The colour choices and clean design are outstanding. The 'egg nog' colour way is my favourite and the contrasting piping is a really nice touch.

—01. Oak wood.
—02. Steel base.

Words

This partition piece from Truck features a softer aesthetic, or perhaps that's the feeling the plants provide. Either way, it's both useful and nice looking, and it would be easy to find the Afromosia a home in a living room, bedroom or office.

—01. Cotton, linen and cupara.

Words

Kenny Kusano's collection, Kenneth Field, is still quite hard to come by with only a handful of international retailers carrying the brand. This summer sport coat features a nice mix of fabrics, a subtle texture and a classic design.

While Sassafras have been making their Vasewall shirt for a few seasons now, this is the first time we've brought it in. The short sleeve seersucker shirt, mixed with the obvious baseball reference makes for an interesting yet wearable summer shirt.

Chris Johanson – Within The River of Time Is My Mind

Info

MOCA Pacific Design Center
8687 Melrose Avenue
West Hollywood, CA 90069
June 30th - September 22nd, 2013

Words

I've been a fan of Chris Johanson's work since the very first run of Anti Hero skateboard graphics, and it's been interesting to watch his career flourish since; taking him from the underground to the well-respected and well-documented mainstream art world. His most recent show opens this weekend at MOCA in Los Angeles, and like much of Johanson's work, features primitive figures, brightly coloured flourishes, and exceptionally clever titling and word-play. The exhibition has been curated by Andrew Berardini, and features new paintings, sculpture, and found wood site-specific installations.
