Extra-P visits Ameoba Records

I'm posting this for 2 reasons:

(1) The Large Professor is an excellent producer

(2) I've been to Ameoba in San Francisco. It's my spiritual home. I can literally spend 8 hours in there, just staring at the walls. In terms of hero-worship, the dude who owns these record shops is my God. If you like vinyl music, you must make the pilgramage to this store shop. In fact, I need to book a trip to the States soon, if only to do some shopping.

Matthew Williamson for H&M

This is the most wearable thing in this line. H&M have had success in the past (most notably with the CDG collection) when teaming up with high fashion types, but this dies on it's arse.

It's all too fruity and flamboyant (I'm pretty fucking far from being a homophobe, if you were wondering) for High Street retail. Sure, it'll end up on ebay at hyper inflated prices, but nobody will actually wear these clothes in public. There's a snake-skin inspired shorts-suit that made me puke up into my mouth. Evil, evil clothing.

Don't believe me? See for yourself over at hypebeast.

PS. I saw Matthew Williamson in Mayfair once. He's 4 foot 11 and weighs 6 stone. I thought it was a bearded child strolling past me.

Kidrobot to open in Selfridges

Freshness are reporting that for one month, starting in January 20089, Selfridges will be hosting a Kidrobot store-gallery in their 'Wonder Room'.

*

This is Kidrobot's first ever overseas project, and to mark this, Kidrobot and Selfridges are holding a release party for their 'Ye Olde English Dunny' Series, a 17-figure lineup of art toys designed by top UK artists such as ilovedust, Clutter, Triclops, Jon Burgerman and TADO.

In addition, Kidrobot created an exclusive version of their highly anticipated Kidrobot 16, which will be available only at the Kidrobot x Selfridges store-gallery. Known as UK Punk, this insanely rare figure comes complete with a Union Jack paint job, a studded belt, and will drop in a limited edition run of 300 pieces.

NOWHERE at Dover Street Market

Nigo (BAPE) and Jun Takahashi (Undercover) are recreating their Harajuku-based vintage streetwear store 'NOWHERE' in London's Dover Street Market. The space will be open for a limited time only, starting on 19th January, and will offer A Bathing Ape products as well as collaborative peices under the NOWHERE brand.
