Dior 2010 Fall/Winter Collection for Wonderland Magazine

Working together with Jose Otero and Hans Lo, Dior’s upcoming collection is the subject of this short film for Wonderland Magazine. With a cult-like demeanor to the theme of the movie, a short presentation into the collection works in tandem with the artistic direction to tie things together nicely. The film was shot on location in Camber Sands.

Founded in 1997 by Andy Laats & Chad DiNenna in California, Nixon’s popularity has been growing ever since within the youth market. For this season, a new model titled “The Re-Run” is released. While it seems the watch is a step back from the more contemporary designs Nixon is known for, the retro themed model gives a fresh choice to their ever extensive lineup. It features a four function digital interface with calendar, dual time, alarm, countdown timer and light, where the shell is made out of molded ABS pushers and hardened mineral crystal. Available now in three colorways of all black, gold and black.

Play Cloths offers a look into its upcoming collaborative project between itself and popular watchmakers CASIO. Taking on the classic G-SHOCK DW-6900, Play Cloths adds its signature red/black colorway onto the timepiece, incorporating subtle branding throughout. Stay tuned for a better view in the coming days

Having quickly emerged as a collaboration to look forward to each year, Supreme once again teams up with Vans to produce a new set of kicks for 2010. This time around, the New York staple utilizes both the Old Skool and popular Chukka Boot silhouette for an overall simple series of designs. Both sneakers take on suede and canvas uppers with snakeskin accents taking center stage. Each model is featured in a handful of colorways, with both looking to release soon through Supreme. As of now, retail is set at ¥11,550 (Approx. $125 USD) for the Old Skool and ¥12,600 (Approx. $136 USD) for the Chukka.

A Bathing Ape continue on their collaborative footwear path as they link up with relatively unknown boot-makers Regal. Based on the iconic chukka boot profile, the boot comes in suede uppers with crepe outsoles. A small and rather understated logo adorns the heel. A few different colors are available now at BAPE STORES worldwide.

CASIO announced the release of three new watches from its popular G-SHOCK line for the upcoming month of April 2010. Offered are two interesting colorways in the brand’s GLX-5600 model and a red/orange colorway of its GLX-5500. All three are slated for a release soon through select CASIO G-SHOCK stockists worldwide.

Here is the Scott "Kid Cudi" Mescudi interview that was featured within A Bathing Ape’s new catalog for the 2010 Summer season & some pictures from the interview

How was 2009? The release of your first album and touring must have been highlights?

Looking back at 2009 is just really overwhelming for me, the fans have carried me so far and I’m just enlightened by all the love I’ve received thus far. The highlight is traveling and meeting all these beautiful young people who feel how I feel. I speak their language.

You worked at BAPE STORE NEW YORK before. How did that come about and why did you want to work there?

I was always a fan of the brand but it just wasn’t something I could afford back then. I remember working there my first couple of weeks in the same uniform cause I didn’t own anything prior to being hired. So it was a dream come true to be able to work at the store I dreamed of shopping in one day. Over a couple of years I might have applied at the store 3 or 4 times before the last attempt that got me hired. I fell in love with BAPE because of their color selection and artwork. I love the style of their cartoons.

How did you first get to know about BAPE?

I discovered what BAPE was when I moved to NY, the store opened up shortly after I moved from Cleveland.

Did you hear any interesting stories about your time there?

I remember Kanye coming in one time and I was helping him get a couple things. I forgot to take a sensor off of one of the jackets he bought and I had to run out the store to catch him before he left. Pretty funny me chasing after him in SoHo haha.

What do you think of BAPE at the moment?

I think BAPE is taking things to amazing new levels. I love the new designs and artwork. They stay true to classic BAPE style but including new and creative twists here and there. I love what they’ve done lately with my MILO character.

Do you have any styling rules when you dress?

I def stick to what works for me. I like to be comfortable, I have a ridiculous amount of t-shirts, some vintage but mostly BAPE. I wear the same jeans everyday a couple months at a time. I have a uniform haha.

Please tell us your plans for 2010.

I’m working on my new album now, “Cudder and the Revolution of Evolution” which is due out this Summer. I have an HBO show I have a supporting role in called “How To Make It In America” airing now. I want to do a couple movies this Summer and some touring. I like staying busy. Its not work, it’s fun.
