Tough times have created some interesting reactions. Some have gone the way of mass market via collaborations with giant retailers, but a pleasantly surprising craft movement is giving us something inspiring to write about. Hermosa Beach-based Yuki Matsuda’s Yuketon is an homage to leather craft. With handmade footwear and accessories sourced from U.S. leather artisans far and wide, the collection has that “Red Wing” utilitarian sensibility but with an extra touch that can only be said for expertise married with an eye for design. Now the collection is getting some well-deserved attention across the pond. Dover Street Market in London is the latest to pick up the label. We’re just championing for a women’s collection.

What Split?
Remember those reports that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were kaput? Think again. The pair was spotted putting on a major PDA show in pal Paul Allen’s luxury suite at the Superbowl in Miami, putting to rest the pesky rumors of a break up. Brad flew from LA to Miami on Saturday afternoon with their son Maddox. But Angie wasn’t far behind she arrived on Sunday and went to the big game as well. And during the Saints and Colts face-off, Angie couldn’t keep her hands off her man! “They were holding hands the entire time, and she kept stealing kisses,” says a witness. “They were all over each other during the whole game.’ But was it all for show?

Ok, so this isn’t the first time we’ve given you free music from Taken by Trees. But, as our favorite Stockholm based recording artist keeps giving up free music, we feel its our duty to pass it on to you. Taken by Trees (née Victoria Bergsman) has a long history of recording with top indie groups and amazing projects. Her latest album East of Eden is no disappointment to her rich history. When I listen to Taken by Trees I can imagine walking through yellow and red desert cliffs smelling nothing but night-blooming Jasmin and far off campfires. Continue…
In the age of Google Earth, Sanzhi, Taiwan has become best known for a project that was never completed: On the shore of this sleepy township is an abandoned 1980s resort referred to as “Sanzhi pod village.” Via satellite, the pods appear as bundles of cheerful candy pastilles, pink and blue apartments stacked on top of each other. In person — and as captured by photographer Magda Biernat in Continental Bounce, on show through March 2 at Soho’s Clic Gallery — you can see paint peeling from the pods, the broken floor-to-ceiling windows gawping over a planned swimming pool that now resembles a swamp. After years of neglect and coastal weather, the complex conveys something like a post-apocalyptic tourist resort from the latest sci-fi flick. Continue…
