Elle Hungary
This is a model named Kate Kondas, who I guess is a thing. She was photographed for the August 2013 issue of Elle Magazine Hungary in a partially finished, partially ghetto looking skatepark somewhere. I’ve never seen a concrete park with asphalt on the top deck. The photographer (and possible anime villain) is named Zoltan […]
Lizzie Armanto in Seventeen
Lizzie Armanto has a small piece in Seventeen magazine. With excerpts like this, it’s no wonder Lizzie has neglected to update the “coverage” section of her web site. In many ways, 20-year-old Lizzie is totally typical—she takes silly selfies with her BFFs, loves sleeping in, and munches on donuts after practice… It’s not the type […]
Calgon, take me away
Feeling stressed? Grab your bath salts and some candles, drag you subwoofer into the bathroom and enjoy a soothing bubble bath while watching this latest (actually old) fashion look book from Koch shot at a very lovely skatepark. No more frontside grinds, release your aggression. Let it go… UPDATE: Added some retina-relaxing images.
Not even on my wall
Irene Neuwirth has a skateboard covered in $60,000 worth of rocks up for auction to benefit the Laxart gallery. While I was shocked to learn that she is “admittedly no Tony Hawk,” I was even more shocked to see what amounts to a very expensive and amateurish crafts project passed off as art by a […]
High Fashion Round Up
I’m not going to make any judgements or cast him in a disparaging light, but MC is the king of finding fashion skateboarding shoots lately. Here are not one, but three fashion spreads featuring skateboards and/or skateboard parks. Fashion, not function.
Screaming Lord Jalba
Glamour, France thinks Jessica Alba is a fashion icon and a cool girl. I think she looks uncomfortable posing with that skateboard. Somehow they managed to make sex symbol look awkward in most of the photos. I wonder if it’s because she did pushups, a la Salba before the photo shoot. Update: Photo recycled in […]

Vulture Culture
Maple XO is hosting a fashion show this Friday night in response to Jeremy Scott’s recent ripoff, as well as design ripoffs in general. Is there a difference between plagiarism and appropriation? I hope so. Maple XO is no stranger to having some of their own work copied wholesale. This kind of event screams for […]
Maple Hang Tags
These are garment hang tags for Maple XO, made out of skateboard veneers that have been etched and cut with a laser. Pretty damned cool. Hang tags are a little bit too high brow for the stuff I hawk, but damn, I wish I thought of it myself. [Source: Oregon Screen Impressions]
