Viridi-anne Fall/Winter 2013

Editor — Tue, 21 May 2013 16:12:03 +0000

Check out a very cool and much much more wearable Fall/Winter 2013 menswear collection from Japanese brand the Viridi-anne. It’s been interesting to watch these more avant-garde brands temper things a bit to more wearable, conventional pieces. Keep in mind, though: wearable and conventional for the Viridi-anne is still awesomely cool. This is my favorite collections of their thus far.

Werkstatt Muenchen Fall/Winter 2013

Another awesome collection of men’s jewelry from German brand Werkstatt Muenchen. This collection, in addition to necklaces and rings, they’ve included a bag or two, some silver bowls, a leather wallet with a silver clasp, and some leather belts and bracelets, all of which have that rough-hewn, rugged look.

Zebra Katz | DRKLNG

The first time I heard IMA READ, I was totally offended. Then I listened and a friend explained who the artist was and made me listen more closely, which put things into perspective. He’s got a new EP coming out and the preview on Pitchfork‘s site is awesome.

Brooklyn resident Zebra Katz will be releasing his forthcoming EP DRKLNG worldwide on June 4th. For a taste of what’s to come, go to Pitchfork Advance and listen to the DRKLNG mixtape which features tracks from the forthcoming EP, as well as an exclusive cover of Zebra Katz debut single IMA READ titled IMA LEAD by the legendary rapper Busta Rhymes.

Zebra Katz is currently preparing for his European tour this summer including dates with South African rap-rave group Die Antwoord and plans to return to North America for a string of tour dates later this year.
