A-Side, B-Side, Flip To The Dark Side

Here at Giant Step, we’re staunchly against hipsters – everything they like and what they look like.  Unfortunately for me, even though I can’t really define what a hipster is, I probably have a lot in common with them.  But the point is, as long as you act like you hate hipsters, you’re O.K.

Here is a track that was found on the Hyperbole blog via Der Fresh Creamy.  Although it has the characteristics of a hipster creation (a remix of a famous rapper with electro elements – hardly inspired), the CSK OK Remix of Ghostface Killah’s Charlie Brown is really quite fun.

SHOWstudio’s FUTURE TENSE Project

posted by Jay on September 22, 2008

Premier fashion blog SHOWstudio wrapped up a month-and-a-half-long project called Future Tense, wherein they asked various designers to do a short video clip or essay on the future of fashion.  77 movies in all, there’s quite a lot of eye candy, as well as some fodder. (Note: it’s probably worth mentioning that most of these were done during and around LFW and NY Fashion Week).

Here are a few favorites: Pierre Hardy’s #2030 (toucan camo), Serve by Carola Euler (for the cheesy music concept – def not the clothing),  Customers Own Property (funny cut-out bibs), Finsk (trendy heels), Basso and Brooke (color palette), Borba Margo (hair), Aleksandra Olenska (short & sweet) and Cassette Playa (Carrie’s the nu-rave designer whose style the Klaxons and M.I.A. cashed in on – see below).

Soundtrack: “PAR” by Tempa T
