FINISTERRE X JOSH VYVYAN

Posted on 2024-03-25

Cornwall-based brand Finisterre always looks to create sustainable clothing with care for the environment at the core of everything it does. The imprint is now continuing in this vein with a brand new Spring/Summer 2024 collection in collaboration with local tattoo artist, Josh Vyvyan.

The new drop takes inspiration from ancient Cornish folklore and myths, taking the campaign to the coast to encapsulate the essence of what Cornwall is best known for: outdoor exploration and surfing. With this in mind, the drop includes a slew of graphic-heavy T-shirts with oversized silhouettes hit with bold graphics and motifs sitting front and center.

SPECSAVERS X BARBOUR

Posted on 2024-03-25

Specsavers has partnered with Barbour to launch an exclusive collection of optical and sunglasses frames, offering a fresh twist on classic shapes inspired by Barbour’s modern countryside aesthetic.

The new collection features 13 optical frames along with three sunglasses for both men and women, while kids also have the option of four frames. Each style encapsulates the DNA of both collaborators, with the durable designs taking cues from Barbour’s renowned wax jackets through the understated tartan and houndstooth prints in a slew of eyewear silhouettes.

Incorporating a sense of real Britishness in every pair, each style from the Specsavers x Barbour collaboration has been reworked to fit into everyday life, for those navigating both the inner city and the great outdoors.

KENGO KUMA X ASICS

Posted on 2024-03-25

Following several releases in 2019 and 2021, the latest Kuma x ASICS sneaker transforms the ASICS Archisite ORU silhouette using a delicate Japanese paper-like material that encases the label’s Dyneema upper. “After tucking in the outer skin and taking a walk around your destination,” says Kuma, “you can unfold the outer skin and relax inside the hotel…this is the kind of shoe that changes its outer skin to suit the various life situations required by a new lifestyle.​”

The sneaker is sustainably built using ASICS’ FUJI LITE™ 2 sole and FF BLAST midsole, resulting in a lightweight comfortable fit.

Sunset Park, from the album A Forsaken Lovers Plea.

A pivotal force in the early ’10s NYC rap revival, now LA-based rapper and producer Chuck Strangers steps into the limelight on new solo LP A Forsaken Lover’s Plea—out March 15th, 2024 on Lex.

A collection of fellow NY natives lace the album with guest verses, from Pro Era comrade Joey Bada$$ & Flatbush Zombies’ Erick the Architect to Queens’ own Remy Banks. Production credits include Californian beat veteran The Alchemist and the masterful Strangers himself.

Following May’s The Boys & Girls EP, A Forsaken Lovers Plea captures a wider spectrum of Strangers’ journey as an artist, alluding to his relationship with hip-hop through imagery of a tragic love affair.

ALBERT OEHLEN – NEW PAINTINGS

Posted on 2024-03-25

Oehlen’s images are divided, repeated, and distorted to conjure a new pictorial narrative. His original source is reimagined; it is at times decipherable, and at others annihilated. The subject of these paintings is, arguably, unimportant; it is the act of transferring images into a new state that is now significant. The result is sometimes a regular, repeated composition that follows from one section to the next. Yet in other paintings, he chooses much more irregular twists and turns, filled with different possible shapes and endings. There is no barrier between abstraction and figuration, improvisation and control, only the endless potential of the medium.

Opposite – Untitled, 2023

Exhibition runs through to May 11th, 2024
