ALL GONE RECAP!

We just wrapped up an amazing event at Reed Space last night. It felt like an old school NYC house party. Old friends, new friends, reunions, catch-ups and a sick soundtrack provided by DJ Soul made it a night to remember. So many heads and beautiful people were in the spot I can’t even begin to list. Check out the slideshow below and see how many Waldo’s you can spot. Thanks again to LaMJC and the All Gone Crew for making this happen. Big thanks also to the sponsors: Reebok, Oakley, Kangol, Complex, FreshnessMag and Heineken. Till next time!

昨夜、Reed Spaceで最高のイベントを終えました。とてもオールドスクールのNYCハウスパーティーのようでした。古くからの友人、新しい友達、出会い、再会とDJ Soulのドープなサウンドが忘れられない夜にしてくれました。いろんなジャンルの数々の人が集まり、全員の名前をあげるときりがありません。下のスライドショーで、誰を見つけられるかチェックしてみよう。このイベントを可能にしてくれたLaMJCとAll Goneクルーに感謝です。また、スポンサーにも感謝です:Reebok、Oakley、Kangol、Complex, FreshnessMag、Heineken。また次の機会に!(写真提供:Dorothy Hong)

TIMEOUT STYLE.

I got a call recently and was invited to be part of a Time Out New York Magazine shoot for one of NY’s Most Stylish People. I was like, “Did you get the right number?” Seriously I don’t consider myself “stylish” at all. I have a good eye, but I keep it dead simple in my everyday dress. Needless to say, I have amassed some nice pieces in the closet over the years. And while I rarely wear them, I keep them around more for design inspiration than anything. But it was fun to play dress-up and put these looks together. Check out some of the others including Kid Cudi, Ouigi Theodore, Michael Macko, Timo Weiland, Robert James, Josh Peskowitz, Jeralyn Delfino, DJ Cassidy, Chris Lee and more…
先日、僕はTime Out New York Magazineから電話がかかってきて、NYで一番スタイリッシュな人たちの特集で、その中の一人として選ばれたとの報告がありました。僕は、「電話番号間違ってない?」と思ってしまいました。マジで、自分を「スタイリッシュ」だとはまったく思いません。見る目はあると思いますが、自分自身着るものはすごくシンプルにしています。ただ、長年の間、たくさんのいいプロダクトを収集しました。それをめったに着ることはなくても、デザインのインスピレーションのために取っておいています。でも、今回着飾って、スタイリングしたのが楽しかったです。ほかの人たちもチェック、Kid CudiOuigi TheodoreMichael MackoTimo WeilandRobert JamesJosh PeskowitzJeralyn DelfinoDJ CassidyChris Leeとその他。

STPL “BOX” BE@RBRICK

stplboxbear3
Boys never stop playing with toys. And we love working with our friends over at Medicom in Japan. Our newest collaboration has just dropped. The “Box” Be@rbrick! We do a ton of packing and shipping at Staple each day, so we drew inspiration this time from the warehouse team.
The “Box” Be@rbrick comes in two sizes, a 400% and a 100%. Each one comes in its own specially designed box with its very own mini Staple packing tape. The box itself is a collectors item as it’s rare for a Be@rbrick to get a special box of its own.
The figure itself is done in kraft “cardboard” brown with safety stickers all over it. Staple packing tape is masked up over the eyes and you can peep the cardboard details on the side and back.
It’s available at REED SPACE right now and other select Medicom accounts. Ship it!
男子はいつになってもおもちゃが手放せない。そして僕たちは日本のMedicomと一緒に仕事するのが大好き。最新のコラボレーションがついリリースされました。”Box” Be@rbrick! Staple では毎日大量の梱包と発送を繰り返しているので、今回は倉庫チームからインスピレーションをもらいました。
