Just when you thought sunglasses couldn’t get anymore innovative, enter the brilliant designers at Mosley Tribes. Appropriately titled the ‘Gates’ frame, these glasses allow you to be ‘that dude’ inside the club who wears his sunglasses all the while allowing you to flip your frames up, letting you bring the ‘extra’ to the party.

I saw this one through the window working at Dior and I pulled her out. It was her first day working and she was in the middle of something but her boss was kind enough to let me borrow her for a second to take a picture. It turns out that I met her towards the end of last year through a friend.

There is something ephemeral about the sound of the Cocteau Twins. One of my favorite tracks is “Cherry-Coloured Funk.” When I first heard this song, it took me my surprise since it normally wasn’t the sound I was accustomed to. Overtime, it got me and it became a constant source of inspiration when I would design the many varying projects for Evil Monito. Enjoy!

Close allies of the Evil Monito camp, Seoul based brand Buried Alive keeps their lifestyle lively. It’s been a few months since I last visited Korea. I watched this clip and it brought back good memories of the camaraderie that I felt among newfound friends.
