Todd Selby, of The Selby, is a man in much demand these days. Following the launch of his book, along with advertisement with Cole Haan and CONVERSE, the New York-base photographer/blogger stopped by Paris to document the beginning of a “man’s wardrobe” for luxury label Louis Vuitton. With all access granted, Selby visited all visages of the venerable fashion house thorough out the City of Lights. Included on 3-week long itinerary were visits to Louis Vuitton’s workshop in the Asnières neighborhood, the Vuitton family home, and unprecedented look at the Louis Vuitton’s fashion show for men’s ready-to-wear in January. In the meantime, Louis Vuitton created a mini-site of all Todd Selby’s endeavors on this trip, so no need to dust of that luggage set or renew your passport. Enjoy the rest of The Selby x Louis Vuitton – The Journey Of A Man’s Wardrobe: Paris here, with the journeys to Shanghai, Tokyo, New York, and London to come on later dates.

It was only recently that APPLEBUM released the Boyz In The Hood Raglan portraying the deceased hip hop legend, Eazy E. Just with the previous release, the 100% cotton button down long sleeve shirt is printed with a large color photo. The base fabric is light blue in color which compliments the photo print that is predominantly in blue tones. Also this tonal choice can be attributed to Eazy E’s relation with Crips that uses blue as their colors. What ever the case, this shirt is a great tribute to the legendary rapper in a semi formal style. It is currently available at APPLEBUM stockists and online store.

One of the very few artists actually incorporated into university curriculum, M.I.A. has proven with her strong political opinions in her music that she is not just another artist. Ever since the British singer/songwriter/fashion icon/visual artist/political activist made it big on the stateside with “Paper Planes” in 2008, she has captivated the public attention with two Grammy nominations and even an Academy Award nomination. This year, M.I.A. is set to release her third album in the summer, but over the past weekend, video of one of the tracks, “Born Free”, was leaked out into the internet, and it is subsequently officially released. Check out the global influencer’s latest music video, and do expect a deep political undertone (though in this case “undertone” is somewhat of an understatement). So, take a deep breath and be prepared for what’s coming; because, like the truth, it isn’t always pleasant.
