WEST COAST PREMIERE

Fugly Sneaks/Dope Box

Adidas is dropping this, I think they're stupid ugly but the box they come in is worth the price of admission.

"The adidas Originals aZX project is finishing off with the above ZX8000 being the last pair with the letters Z and X represented by each shoe as well as representing the designer, Jacques Chassaing and the maker, Markus Thaler. The aZX collaboration project brought together 22 of the world’s key retailers and and partners and creating 22 sneakers in all. We saw a film last week with Jacques Chassaing and Markus Thaler speaking to the history of the adidas ZX family, the aZX project and of course the final sneaker that they had a hand in creating. Each of the 22 partners will receive one pair each of this special collaboration and what they do with it is up to them so keep an eye out for announcements for each of the 22 retailers."

After Effects is too fun

So we over here at DS85 dabble in some motion graphics every now and then. This is a little project I'm working on for one of my classes, ya dig.

Where Da Funnel Cakes GO?!

Some of you might remember the Unforgivable dude and how hilarious it was, and then nothing for like a year. Well it popped in my mind yesterday so I did a quick lil search and came up on these two new joints. Even after a year this mess is still funny (atleast to me). Be careful if you're at work, school, or have kids around cuz there's a bit of profanity.

STEVEN.CRAIG.VINGUA.

Allow me to introduce myself, I go by the name of Mogli. I am co-founder of DS85. I like doing most of my projects by hand. Here are some stuff I'm producing in my lab.

Beta Unit Fall/Winter 2008

Beta Unit seems to have some dope cold weather gear lined up for the season. Just check out the collar on that jacket, straight out of the 1980s future. Also thrown in is a lovely tee or two, so check it out.

THE AWARD TOUR

THE AWARD TOUR is one of the street wear brands I personally respect. Kid is only a freshmen in college. keep a look out for the new line coming soon.

BANKSY.THE VILLAGE PET STORE AND CHARCOAL GRILL

At the origin of this stroke of genius, whooping-cough of the street art, Mr Banksy is at it again, thinking outside of the box of art.
“New Yorkers don’t care about art, they care about pets. So I’m exhibiting them instead. I wanted to make art that questioned our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming, but it ended up as chicken nuggets singing. I took all the money I made exploiting an animal in my last show and used it to fund a new show about the exploitation of animals. If its art and you can see it from the street, I guess it could still be considered street art." -BANKSY

A lil about D

So I guess I might as well introduce myself, I'm D. I tend to dabble in the arts here and there, currently doing tribute series to 70s/80s B-Movies that I dig. So here are some of my illos I do to keep busy, might post some more in the future. Maybe Mogli will drop something on you fools one of these days?

LA-based haberdasher Dr. Romanelli and retailer HUF will launch a capsule collection for Fall 2008. The limited editions, inspired by outdoor sports of hunting and fishing, will comprise of one-of-the-kind jackets, vests, and cut & sewn items. Each is a “reinterpreted” vintage product.
