Every FIFA World Cup official match ball from 1970 to 2006 is presented with ball holders featuring the dates of the Cups. Each regulation size ball is constructed just as the original was made – with the exact materials and manufacturing technique. This means each ball in the collection is identical to the original for that given year.

Nouvel’s offering is the 10th in the annual commission by the gallery. Noted as one of the most ambitious architectural programs world wide, the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion will be Nouvel’s first completed building in the United Kingdom. In vivid red, the pavilion reflects some of London’s most iconic objects, buses, telephone booths, and contrasts with the lush greens of Hyde Park.
In structure, the pavilion is an exercise in juxtaposing lightweight materials with a metal cantilever that creates bold geometric shapes.
The building will be up and in use through October.

Until now we have seen Dickies collaborate with a plethora of Japanese streetwear brands. Most of the time the brand only added their logo tag to the classic Dickies styles. Now the brand has worked with some of Japan’s high fashion mens designers, including Undercover, N. Hoolywood and Deisuke Gemma of sacai. We love that these collaborations go much further, decontructing Dickies pieces and adding new materials, cuts and looks to these classics.
