Dunno if I want the Shirt or the Pit Bull!!

Formerly known as Loki, the London streetwear brand Second Son is real proud of these button up shirts it has lined up for autumn / winter 2009. The shirt comes in ‘Deer Hunter’ green and ‘Spitfire’ blue, both with suede trims. The best part is that the entire thing is fair-trade, made and sourced in East London, UK. The shirt will be released this Saturday August 29th at RESET II, taking place at the Nike 1948 store in Shoreditch, London.

Discovered these very realistic silhouettes produced in small quantity by the German company Coarse Toys. Last figurine in date: Jaws, a version miniature in the shape of head of shark, available out of carry-key. Visual of the range supplements in the continuation.

New Jersey-born Artist Kaws was invited recently by Interview Magazine to work atop an image of Michael Jackson for an editorial piece on the late pop sensation. The final image is typical of Kaws’ unique style and features a ‘Bendy’ (a worm-like character who often appears in Kaws’ work) wrapped around Jackson which is reminiscent of previous work, most obviously the iconic reworking of Supreme’s Kate Moss tee.
