RADAR: DAME DASH VENTURES INTO ART
Damon Dash will take on a new business venture by opening up an Art gallery on February 19th inDash’s DD172 building, in the Tribeca area. Contemporary artist such as Bobby Castaneda, Jeremy Wagner, Heather Gargon and Hector Ruizwill be featured in this gallery as well. He had this to say to MTV in November:
“I’ve always loved art and wanted to get involved in it, I’m always trying to do different new things and things that don’t define what the perception of a hip-hop cat is. We don’t only do the things they perceive us to do. We’re pretty sophisticated.”
BACK TO THE FUTURE: KANGAROOS TRAP HI PAYTON
Originally introduced in 1979, KangaROOS’ novelty value lay with their trademark pocket-pouch created as a stash for joggers to put their keys and jazz tobacco in. To reintroduce the brand, ROOS has hit us with the Walter Payton Limited Edition Collection, named after the MVP Chicago Bears running back. Skippy is back on the block! Available at Finish Line stores.
BACK TO THE FUTURE: NEW BALANCE P790CT
While New Balance is renowned for its running pedigree, its basketball heritage is somewhat less known. During the 80s the New Balance name was synonymous with one man on court, the Lakers’ James Worthy. Such was the impact of this Hall of Famer that all NB court kicks from the era were nicknamed ‘Worthys’ by those in the know. In honor of ‘Big Game James’ New Balance have reissued these tall and proud P790CTs in 80s Lakers and Celtics flavours. Packed with a C-Cap midsole and ankle padding that goes up to your eyeballs.
ISABELI FONTANA MAKES COVER OF VOUGE
The stunning star of LOUIS VUITTON’S CRUISE 2010 AD CAMPAIGN, Isabeli Fontana graces the cover of Vogue Brasil’s February 2010 issue photographed by Fabio Bartelt. The theme of the cover is Hi-Lo, the combination of affordable and luxe fashion and I just wanna say that the styling is gorgeous. The pink accessories (i.e. Louis Vuitton Monogram Denim Sunshine and Inclusion bracelets) and the VOGUE wonderfully pops out from the sea of white. Its simple and very effective, its just wonderful!
