Slowdownjoe

noreply@blogger.com (The Editor) — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 10:00:00 +0000

Slowdownjoe is the latest venture from Superdenim founder Lewis Hull and his brother Matthew. Essentially an extension of Superdenim, the site is an online emporium of cool stuff for the body, soul, home and outdoors ranging from Viberg boots to Lovat Mill travel rugs and backpacks from William Fox & Sons. Products are sourced from Europe, USA and Japan with an emphasis on ethics, craftsmanship and honest design.

noreply@blogger.com (The Editor) — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 23:45:00 +0000

Masquerading as art amongst a pile of mucky magazines in a backstreet garage, the Pirelli calendar has somehow managed to attract many of the worlds top models and photographers over the years and emerge as a highly respected (and collected) opus of the female form. 2012 sees Mario Sorrenti behind the lens, whilst Lara Stone, Milla Jovovich, and Kate Moss are just three of the beauties baring all in front of the camera. This video takes us behind the scenes in Corsica where the calendar was photographed.

The Face's Greatest Hits

noreply@blogger.com (The Editor) — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 21:00:00 +0000

Along with the Sony Walkman and the AK47 rifle, The Face has been added to the Design Museum's permanent collection. To celebrate, The Guardian spoke to founder and influential music journalist Nick Logan. Commenting on the launch issue, he says...

I had been advised that 'the Face' was too abstract, and I should have the word monthly in the title, and I knew I could find something more current for a first cover than the Specials. But they embodied everything the magazine aspired to – they had a look, a passion, and great music - so there was never an alternative. In a sentimental way too, I owed 2 Tone a debt for the inspiration to pursue the idea. And, as it was my savings at risk, I could call it what I liked - after all, the Face was to be my escape from a career where too often I struggled to explain myself to publishers or committees. No focus groups here: I was purely, wholeheartedly, following instinct.
