Downshift Session 2008

The Gran Turismo video game franchise for Playstation celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. For the racing game itself, its appearance back in 1998 all but changed the face of the racing world enabling gamers to get as close as possible to driving the four-wheeled beasts of their dreams. The car-reproduction within the game undergoes some mind-numbing detail to replicate the most authentic experience possible with elements of exhaust notes and minute details all undergoing intense scrutiny. To mark the decade anniversary, jeffstaple and company are hosting Downshift Session 2008 on Thursday as not only a celebration of Gran Turismo itself but also automotive design, music, art and gaming. The entertainment for the evening includes Eric Haze, Kid Sister & DJ Soul and the opportunity to race in live time trials. The VIP event will take place from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm with the doors opening for +21 general admission at 8:00 pm.

Levi’s x 686 The Times Limited Edition Box

Earlier this year, the Levis and 686 presented a collection that would effectively present an intersection of the world’s quintessential denim brand Levi’s with the technical, snowboarding-driven 686 brand. Together the two would combine an aesthetic and material choice which has become a staple for many around the world with denim and adorned it with technical specifications to endure the harsh mountain conditions. To commemorate this partnership, a special Levi’s x 686 The Times Limited Edition Box was created which features a box wrapped in Levi’s Genuine Selvedge Raw Denim with a colorful print pattern featuring iconic Levi’s imagery. The pants represent the world’s first 3L Technical Snowboard Raw Selvedge Denim Pant. Although the silhouette of the pant is similar to the previous releases, differences include a more relaxed cut, colorful lining, lighter-weight construction and selvedge back-pockets. Only 68 instances were produced for friends and family of 686 and will not be available for sale. After the jump is a video between 686 founder Mike West and Levi’s VP of Global Design Caroline Calvin as they discuss the relationship of the two brands and the product development aspect.

Nike Football “Fate” Commercial

Earlier this year, a prolific ad for Nike Soccer was created which enlisted the talents of movie director Guy Ritchie. On a similar tip, Nike look to another series of accomplished directors in David Fincher (Fight Club, Se7en, The Game) and Emmanuel Lubezki (Children of Men) to mastermind another great commercial, this time with Nike Football as the focus. The commercial follows the pre-destined fates of LaDanian Tomlinson and Troy Palamalu from their pre-birth ultra-sounds and through their adolescents to achieve their current successes in the NFL.

nobody dies!!!

As a member of the Japanese art community who has been heralded for their continual questioning of Japanese relationships with the outside world and its own societal institutions, artist Mr. presents his latest exhibition “Nobody Dies” later this month. His depictions of lolitas are a self-examination and re-appropriation of lolitas in different and unfamiliar contexts which began with Mr.’s obsession with scribbling lolita images on receipts and ticket stubs. Also worth noting was Mr.’s contribution to the capsule of Supreme decks alongside Murakami last year. “Nobody Dies” opens up Tuesday, October 21st and concludes January 10th, 2009.

The Creator Class

I found this article on a the designer entreprenuer craze.....its pretty interesting!
enjoy!

On Friday, I will be presenting my new thoughts on the emerging Creator Class. It’s a focus on multi-skilled creative minds who feel they can turn their hand to multiple product and service offerings, often challenging they way established industries operate.
Some of the people that I’d put in this category are featured in a new book called Design Entrepreneur: Turning Graphic Design Into Goods That Sell. This book features folks like Paul Budnitz of KidRobot and other graphic designers turned product developers.
I think these design entrepreneurs fit within a larger group I’m calling Creator Class. I want to make sure it includes creative minds that may not use graphic design as the center of their work - folks like Jay Parkinson, the “Web 2.0 doctor” (see our video on him here).
BUT…. I NEED YOUR HELP - I haven’t completed the presentation and with my travel to the opposite time zone, my head is fuddled and I can’t think of these individuals (and sometimes duos) who are making change. I’d love some help - could you make some suggestions in the comment box below?
THANKS!

Hipsters Will Save Our Economy

In a rather striking article this week, Forbes recognizes hipsters as possibly the one demographic group that’s still happily consuming, at least in the retail sector. The article argues that while hipsters - here very broadly defined - might not make a lot of money now, they are a huge, powerful consumer group, and marketing dollars spent to capture them now will likely pay off in the future. Not to mention the fact that, even today, retailers which cater to the “creative class” are thriving while the rest of the retail industry struggles:
While retailers geared toward consumers under 45–the Gap, Abercrombie & Fitch and Express–have struggled in the past year to increase sales, hipster-centric clothing outlet Urban Outfitters has reported record results.
Citing many other examples including Marc Jacobs (”Ten years ago, college kids carried backpacks…On any college campus today you’ll find moneyed girls carrying Jacobs’ $1,000 leather handbags”) and Cooper Mini (”the company saw a 15% year-over-year increase in the number of units sold” while other car sales have lagged) — the article makes a good point.
Can hipsters buy our way out of a recession?
