Tag! Zambri

July 2nd, 2009

The press image for Zambri was just too perfect to pass up… Here’s the band in front of the Keith Haring mural in the Lower East Side, New York City.

More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed!

July 2nd, 2009

Christopher Kane’s newest primate tees launched yesterday on Net-a-Porter.

They are cotton.

They are $310 each.

They are already sold out in Small and Large sizes.

Meanwhile, if you’d like to emulate the look, we found this tee at various zoos across America.  It costs about $20.

It comes with the experience of actually viewing animals.

But alas, not actually viewing high fashion.

If you’re a medium and want Chris Kane, head to Net-a-Porter immediately!

The Good Son

To celebrate his new collection of menswear, Ben Westwood (son of Vivienne) is seen lighting his mum’s cigarette in London.

Photos of the clothes, we hope, will follow.

In the meantime:

Please let your own mums be badass rockstar designers.

But maybe, it’s not that great an idea to let them smoke.

You know?

The NY Times Joins Fang Bangers Anonymous

July 1st, 2009

Last year, Ruth La Ferla wrote a piece for the New York Times on how Gossip Girl was influencing the style of young women.

NYLON’s comment?

“Paging Captain Obvious.”

(Harsh words, but truth be told, we LOVED reading the story, as it basically validated our months-long obsession with headbands, sweater vests, and Little J eyeliner.  You can read the whole piece here).

Now, the intrepid Style reporter tells us, forget private school vixens - it’s vampires that are the new black.

Our comment?

Well, you can guess.  But again, it’s a satisfying and lip-smacking read, complete with a slideshow, that you can scan right now on NYTimes.com.

And then you can see Kristen Stewart, Jackson Rathbone, and Ashley Greene from Twilight on the site, see the time we made Sookie Stackhouse a private icon, and - oh, remember when Karen Walker put vampires in her Spring ‘09 lookbook?  We’ve got that, too.

Tag! It’s Amazing

July 1st, 2009


“Hi Faran - This street piece was painted by UK artist Eine. He’s famous over there for the huge letters and words he puts on walls and storefront shutters around London and other parts of the world. I thought you might like this letter in particular! [Editor’s Note: See below] I’ve also included one of his recent walls, which has unfortunately since been buffed. This is actually unusual for Eine – unlike many street artists, his work tends to stay up a long time. One time residents of a neighborhood where he’d done a lot of letters actually campaigned to keep them up! –Elisa”

LOVE it!  If you have graffiti, send it to faran@nylonmag.com
