Nexus VII x Original Fake Cable Knit



Here comes one of the best releases by Original Fake this season. No bright colors, no characters or Kaws signature graphics (even though we do love that too), just plain and solid pieces. In collaboration with Nexus VII they created some heavy weight cable knitwear. Overall they present two pieces - one hoodie and one cardigan with chest pockets. The hoodie comes in a creme colorway, the other piece in black. Both come with a thick Original Fake leather tag, the kind that usually only come on denim.

Jordan Goes Considered


Jeff Staple has put up a nice post to his blog, giving some background on how the Nike Considered line was started and how the original shoe of the line evolved. Staple Design was also involved in the project from the start. Finally he connects the dots between the Considered line and the new Air Jordan XXIII's, that also take a much more environmentally friendly approach then previous models in the Jordan collection.

It is nice seeing how a small project evolves and a concept that has been developed in that project, that was first intended for a small audience, is then pushed into bigger projects with much bigger audiences. Kind of shows that it is all worth it in the end. Jeff also points out an interesting article on the subject in Fortune Magazine.

Make sure to read it!

Awdio


This past week we came across a new site with a very interesting concept in music - Awdio. To sum it up, through their service you can listen to music being played in shops, clubs, bars, fashion hotels, restaurants in real time.

"While online music startups and most labels are trying to figure new rules for their business models, a small UK based startup has found a smart way to answer that question. Nearly all music services are based on providing access to a catalogue of recorded music whether it is on demand (eg: iTunes or Deezer) or on discovery mode (Pandora/Last.fm). But a big chunk of the quality music is not recorded and is played live is in clubs, fashion hotels, restaurants, shops, DJ festivals and other cool places (i leave aside radio music). This music usually ends up in CD collections because of its quality and uniqueness (think of the Buddha Bar collection, the Cafe del Mar and many more). And this is the music Awdio

Awdio™ revolutionizes the way you listen to music! Real Time Music! What everyone can get now in one weekend is what music addicts would get in a year, touring around world’s best Live music sources… Straight from the sound systems of the most respected clubs, venues, hotels, shops, studios & festivals… from Electronic Music to Hip Hop, from new Jazz scenes to alternative Rock, from Lounge sessions to the most underground Dj sets, wherever you are, whatever you like, Awdio™ provides pure Live music. From San Francisco to Melbourne, New York to Paris, Sao Paulo to Hong Kong, Awdio™ is streaming 24/7 real time music content, from and on worldwide time zones.

Awdio spots the coolest places around the globe where live music is played and makes exclusive agreement to distribute and stream it live in real time. They gathered so far 50 hotspots like the super trendy Colette Shop in Paris, the 1015 in San Francisco or the Favela in London. They have created a technology that enables any live music source to be streamed over the internet with high quality sound." Via Techcrunch.

A great concept. Instead of listening to specific songs, you can choose the environment/place where you know music that you enjoy is being played. Seeing Colette in the mix also totally makes sense! It will be interesting to see where they go with the concept and if they add video any time soon!
