(HIT: Rick Owens Asymetric Leather Jacket)

As we close out ’08 tonight, Rick Owens has just dropped a few releases as part of their Spring/Summer 2009 collection featuring some nice pieces, and some far misses. Case in point for a hit: The Asymmetric Leather Jacket, above. Made from the finest Calf leather and is manufactured with a stone wash treatment, fully lined in silk and cotton. Moving on, at the 808s and Heartbreak press conference in New Zealand, Kanye West unleashed Kanye-isms such as, “I may release an album just of dolphin noises”, “I barely know the lyrics to my own album” and “I wouldn’t be completely opposed to wearing Hammer slacks at some point.”

Take a minute to re-read that last quote.

(MISS: Rick Owens New Pant)

I’m not really sure what else to say about these pants. I’ve spent a good hour looking at them, and trying to figure out the inspiration and more importantly, the reason behind them. I’ve got nothing. Is Kanye ahead of his time yet again and foreseeing a new fashion trend? Are these the new Venetian shades? Or, is this just fashion gone bad? I’m going to start the ’09 celebration early today and maybe something will come to me with my DomP and OJ. All the best in ’09.

Other hits and misses after the jump.

Can’t go wrong with either of these lids, but we’d go with the Lakers choice. Grab yours on January 3rd at UNDFTD.

FINALLY! The boys at LH were thinking about something like this a long time ago, only we didn’t have the know-how or money to get it off the ground. Either way, we’re happy SOMEBODY cracked it because we all know Apple dropped the ball with the iPhone camera (no zoom, no flash, ancient megapixels). USB Fever has created a range of different lenses that attach to your iPhone magnetically, including a Wide Angle Lens, Fish Eye Lens and Marco Lens depending on your purpose. Available here.

And this pervert’s-best-friend lense, is just downright ugly.

For their Spring/Summer 2009 collection, Visvim  has decided to borrow a few design ques from Van’s SK8-Hi it seems! These are called the Logan’s, featured in electric blue.

A more detailed pic of the absolute, most hyped Nike release for 2009, the Air Yeezy, has been released. These were most recently spotted on DJ AM. Nicest color scheme we’ve seen yet: a yellowish tan upper with white and lime sole mixed with a few hits of pink for the interior. Check out the vid after the jump.

Check out more of his work here.

Entitled “After Warhol”, this piece is made up of 2524 spools of thread and she considers it to be “fairly low resolution” though it looks good to us.

Check out some of her “better” work here.

Nicolas Meiresonne, a product design student from Belgium, has come up with this concept watch  focused on user experience (meaning, it doesn’t tell the exact time so much as it does the ‘perception of time).  Basically, the bracelet has different colors that show what time it is.  Blue/green = morning, yellow/orange = noon , red/purple = evening and night. The colors rotate around the bracelet and one on top indicates the current “time”.  Alright, back to celebrating the holidays, it is after all, purple-o’clock NY time.

(I’m usually not up to date on interviews with artists on their newly released albums so you’ll have to forgive me for the lateness of this post)

How many times have you seen different interviews with the same artist and the questions are all the same generic, PR filtered, softballs? “What was your inspiration?” “Did you write this all yourself?” “What was it like working with Timbo?” “Your video features a private jet, Bentley, and Piaget, that’s very original for a hip-hop video, whose concept was that?”

It’s rare that you get an interviewer that asks questions, you actually want to know the answers to. Chelsea Lately does this to T.I. She does it in a way that’s inquisitive, funny and slightly scorching.

BEST LINE: “You keep licking your lips and I know what that means”.

ENJOY.
