Brand in mind

This is a trip. it's a piece about branding and creating ads "under the influence" of subliminal messages.

Invisible bling!

Just when you thought you had seen it all... well you won't be seeing this either. In the future, there will be a way to convert our cars into hovercrafts, just so we could sail along smoothly down the main drags of our respective cities. Short of that, we'll take some 100 percent transparent two-inch thick polycarbonate wheels for our rides, like the ones a few bloggers just spied at this year's SEMA show, going on this week in Las Vegas. These amazingly sexy D'Vinci Forgiato Radurra wheels cost a cool $2,000, which will buy you a single 20-, 22-, or 24- inch wheel. Four of these will make you the coolest kid in town, for sure.

Duck Sauce

I love what the Hip Hop headz are doing to fashion and music culture. Here is one of the next evolutions of the game. Check out DUCK SAUCE, the second label of New York-based street wear brand Garbege. The brand garnered quite many attention lately, including a spot on BET. Focused on head gear only, the products incorporated flavors of Asian art into a very Western accessory - baseball caps. Even the label’s logo mimic a giant supplier of Chinese food condiments in the New York area.

We caught a preview of the second series of goods, which will launch next season. It took on even more of an Asian theme. Featuring irradiance embroidery that looked similar to patterns found on Chinese porcelains or Indian silk saffron.
