Donwan Harrell, founder and creative director of PRPS, recently sat down with Debonair Magazine to discuss the ins and outs of premium and luxury denim (his company produces the latter, as you’ll soon find). He offers a few tips on distressing your own jeans to emulate the premium look, and also explains some of [...]
By now I’m pretty sure that most people are familiar with, or have at least heard of the American Express Centurion Card aka The Black Card. You’ve probably heard your “favorite rapper’s favorite rapper” dropping the card’s name on a track or two. In short, its an exclusive American Express credit card only [...]
I think I must have missed the memo on fixed gear bikes being the new “It†mode of transportation for the “hypester†crowd. Seriously, they seem to be popping up everywhere these days…first this, then this, now this. Is this the next movement? We shall see.

…Alex isn’t like other boys his age. [...]
Over the course of his last two albums, we’ve heard Kanye West make several references to his upcoming fashion label, Pastelle (see: “Goneâ€, “Strongerâ€). However, to many people it looked like the whole idea was shaping up to be all talk, and very little show at the end of the day. Even with [...]
I must admit, I haven’t paid close attention to the sneaker game for some time now. Well, let me rephrase that, I haven’t paid much attention to the exclusive, hype driven, internet-only sneaker game for some time now. I don’t know what happened, I just sort of fell out of touch with things [...]
The Washington Post has an interesting piece on the transformation of the Apple Store experience. With the growing popularity of Apple products, and new converts each year, some feel that the store has lost its intimate, almost club-like, “I know that you know that I know that we know and love Macs like nobody [...]
The NY Times takes an interesting look at the way that many female DJ’s are influencing their crowds. (clockwise from top left: Beverly Bonds, Denise Kozlowski/Cyan Bonacci, Samantha Ronson and Lindsey Caldwell)
