HERMES NEW FINGERSKATE ADVERTISMENT

HERMES MOST RECENT ADVERTISEMENT FOR THEIR NEWEST COLLECTION IS ONE OF THE BEST STAND STILL ADVERTISEMENTS I HAVE  PAYED ATTENTION TO. THE WAY OF FINDING THE  AD WAS THE BEIFIT FOLLOWING ONE OF MY IDOLS ROB DYRDECK ON TWITTER.  BESIDES CRACKING UP AT HIS USUAL TWITTER JOKES AND PROJECTS IT WAS COMPLETELY RANDOMNESS CLICKING THIS VIDEO TWO DAYS AGO AND GETTING A PEEK AT THIS HERMES ADVERTISEMENT INVOLVING FINGER SKATEBOARDING. THIS IS GENIUS, THE SKATEBOARD TRAVELS ALONG ALL THE NEW DROPS HERME WILL BE DROPPING SOON. MAKE SURE YOU GET A GLANCE AT THIS VIDEO. IT'S ONE OF THE BEST ADS BY FAR. WITH THIS ADVERTISMENT HERMES CAN BRING BACK THE COOLNESS OF FINGERBOARDING.

COMPLIMENTS FROM CHILDREN ARE SOMETIMES THE REALIST

COMPLIMENTS FROM CHILDREND ARE SOMETIMES THE REALIST.IT'S A TRUE STATMENT FROM  "BZ KNOWLEDGE". CHILDREND BETWEEN THE AGES OF 5 YEARS OLD AND 10 ARE NOT THAT INTUNED OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD. THEY ARE NOT HARMED IF SOMEONE TELLS THEM NOT TO LIKE A CERTIN COLOR BECAUSE THEY'RE AT A YOUNG AGE AND THEY WILL ALWAYS SAY WHAT THEY FEEL. ANOTHER REASON COMPLIMENTS FROM YOUNG AGES ARE TRUE IN MY BOOK IS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT INTUNED WHAT BRANDS ARE OUT THESE DAYS. ALOT OF PEOPLE THESE DAYS ONLY IN THE LIKES OF CLOTHING THAT COMES FROM CERTIN BRANDS AS BAPE, CHANEL, OR GUCCI. IF A CHILD GIVES A COMPLIMENT ON A YOUR CHOICE OF CLOTHING THEY LIKE IT BECAUSE OF THE STYLE YOU ARE WEARING OR THE FEELING OF THE FABRIC SO THEY CAN TAKE KID NAPS ON YOU.

.  YOUR CHOICE OF STYLE AND YOUR TONE OF FABRIC ARE TWO OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ROLES YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHILE CREATING. LAST BUT NOT LEAST I FEEL A CHILDS COMPLIMENT MEANS MUCH IS BECAUSE THEY STILL HAVE THEY'RE CHILDHOOD.  CHILDHOOD IS FULL OF FUN AND GAMES INCLUDING BRIGHT COLORS WHILE SOMETIMES DARK AND RUNNING AROUND DISOBEYING ORDERS.WITH CLOTHING BRANDS TODAY THAT IS WHAT ALOT OF PEOPLE BRANDS ARE STANDING FOR. I'M NOT SAYING FOR EVERY PIECE YOU CREATE FOR YOUR BRAND YOU SHOULD ASK A KID THEIR OWN OPINION.JUST ASK A WILD KID AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY. IT'S A GOOD WAY TO GO ABOUT OPINIONS THESE DAYS BECAUSE ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE FOLLOWERS AND BRAND WORSHIPERS.

THE LUXURY CHANNEL:KARL LARGERFELD RELEVANT INTERVIEW

THE YOUTUBE VIDEO PROVIDED IS AN INSIDE LOOK INTO THE THOUGHTS OF ONE OF THE WORLDS MOST INSPIRING INDIVIDUALS IN OUR GENERATION WHEN IT COMES TO DESIGNING. KARL LARGERFELD, THE CREATOR DIRECTOR FOR CHANEL LUXURY SITS DOWN WITH ONLINE BLOG 'BUSSINESS OFF FASHION' MAKING PRICELESS OBSERVATIONS ABOUT OUR WORLD AND THE RELEVANT OF TODAY. INSIDE THE INTERVIEW KARL TOUCHES SEVERAL TOPICS AS OF WHY HE REFUSES TO DWELL OFF HIS OWN PRESENCE , HOW HE STAYS CONNECTED WITH OUR DAY AND AGE AND WHAT IS GOING ON, AND WHAT HE FEELS IS INSPIRING AT THIS MOMENT IN LIFE. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERVIEW IMRAN THE INTERVIEW FROM B.O.F MENTIONS THE RECENT CHANEL FILM KARL LAGERFELD IS FEATURED IN. AS YOU WATCH CLOSELY KARL LARGERFELD HAPPILY EXPLAINS THE SUCCESS OF THE REMAKE FILM AND HOW THE ACTRESS LADY HOLECK WAS DICOVERD IN HIS PROJECT AND NOW STARRING IN A VERY IMPORTANT FILM IN FRANCE.

TOWARDS THE END OF THE FILM KARL LARGERFELD IS ASKED BY IMRAN WHAT FORM OF TECHNOLOGY DOES HE USE PERSONALLY. KARL SIMPLY RESPONDS "NOTHING"  NOT WANTING TO USE WHITE GOLD PHONES OR WHITE GOLD LAPTOPS BECAUSE HE WANTS TO INVOLVE ONLY HIS IMAGINATION WHEN IT COMES TO BEING CREATIVE OR DESIGNING. AFTER WATCHING THIS INTERVIEW I GET A MORE VIVID LOOK INTO KARL LAGERFELD'S LIFE AND HIS THOUGHT PROCESS. WHAT I HIGHLY AM INSPIRED BUT ABOUT KARL IS THAT THROUGH EVERY ACCOMPLISHMENT HE STILL DOES NOT LOOK AT HIMSELF AS A " KNOW IT ALL". WHEN ASKED CERTAIN QUESTIONS KARL PRESENTS PLENTY OF PHRASES OF WHY I BELIEVE HE IS NOT A STUCK UP IDOL AND THAT'S THE BEST WAY HAVE FOR AN IDOL SUCH AS KARL LARGERFELD. THE VIDEO IS DOPE, MAKE SURE YOU CLICK PLAY. THIS IS VERY RARE FOOTAGE.

G.O.O.D MUSIC: KANYE WEST.TALIB KWELI.CONSEQUENCE

G.O.O.D MUSIC FRIDAYS ARE ALWAYS ON POINT. THIS FRIDAY KANYE WEST, CONSEQUENCE, AND TALIB KWELI ARE IN LINE FOR THE NEWEST PROJECT 'MY CHAIN HEAVY'. THE TRACK IS DOPE. LISTENING TO ALL OF THE G.O.O.D MUSIC FRIDAY TRACKS I WAS WONDERING WHERE THE GOOD HOMIE CONSEQUENCE WAS. CONSEQUENCE MAKES SOME OF THE BEST PROJECTS. I FEEL HE SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN MUSIC MORE THEN HE HAS AT THIS POINT. BUT I GUESS IT'S A STRUGGLE FOR KANYE WEST TO FIT ALL THE TALENT HE'S SURROUNDED BY INTO SO MANY TRACKS AT ONCE. TUNE INTO THE NEWEST G.O.O.D MUSIC FRIDAY TRACK 'MY CHAIN HEAVY'. IT'S DOPE.

VERBAL AND YOON INTERVIEW AT RSVP GALLERY BOUTIQUE

In-Store & Interview with AMBUSH's Verbal + Yoon at RSVP Gallery from RSVP Gallery on Vimeo.

LAST WEEK VERBAL AND YOON STEPPED INTO THE DOORS OF THE HIGLY TALKED ABOUT CLOTHING BOUTIQUE RSVP GALLERY.IT'S FUNNY TO SEE THIS VIDEO BECAUSE THE IN-STORE VISIT FROM YOON AND VERBAL WAS USTREAMED AND I DIDN'T SEE AN INTERVIEW TAKEN PLACE. ON THE OTHER HAND I N THE INTERVIEW ABOVE VERBAL AND YOON TALK ABOUT THEIR LATEST CREATIONS AND BACKGROUNDS OF THEIR LIVES. THEY LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT EVERY CREATION IS NEVER PLANNED AND COMES STRAIGHT FROM ORIGINALITY. I WAS LOOKING AT THE COMMENTS PEOPLE WERE LEAVING ON HYPBEAST ABOUT VERBAL AND YOON AND I FEEL THERE IS ALOT OF HATE. PEOPLE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THESE ARE GEMS OF CREATIVITY FROM A DUO TAKING THIS CULTURE WHOLE DIFFERENT DIRECTION. VERBAL AND YOON ARE TEACHING PEOPLE NOT TO BE SCARED OF THEIR OWN CREATIVITY ALSO TO THINK OUT THE BOX.
