The Day I Saw A Pig Fly

If you ever said you’d do something “when pigs fly,” well I guess you better get to it.

Visit the cinema at the end of the world

An Estonian photographer discovered an abandoned movie theatre deep in the Sinai desert
EOTWCinema3

You know that feeling when you're the only one in the cinema? Yeah. Estonian photographer Kaupo Kikkas went one further – he's found a ghostly, abandoned outdoor cinema deep in the heart of Egypt's Sinai desert.

According to Kikkas, the cinema was built by at the turn of the millenium by a French stoner who had access to oodles of cash. Perfect if you're going to undertake a project like this: you'll need the French romanticism and the weed to…

Vasco Vaz no mundo dos Jordans

by Matéria Estilo
Catarinamfialho

Máno Basco

Vasco Vaz | Sneakers Love Portugal

Vasco faz do design uma profissão e dos sneakers uma dedicação que vem desde sempre.

Confessa que sneakers é o mesmo único tipo de calçado que usa e que tudo começou há algum tempo, na infância, quando os filmes do Spike Lee começaram a povoar o seu imaginário.

E se dúvidas houvesse quanto às influências, assume-se como impedioso defensor dos Jordan, essencialmente os III, IV e VI.

Chegou a hora de conhecer o Vasco, designer, ainda a tempo de sabermos os sneakers eleitos de 2013, em mais uma sessão do Sneakers Love Portugal.

Leiam em baixo.

Podes apresentar-te?

Chamo-me Vasco, sou designer e dou aulas na área.

Qual é a dimensão que os sneakers têm na tua vida?

Os ténis são basicamente o único calçado que uso, é muito raro usar outra coisa. Admiro-os como objectos práticos e confortáveis, mas sobretudo como peças que podem ter infinitas variações, e com apelo estético inegável. Depois existe aquele imaginário da infância, ver aqueles ténis com cores garridas nos pés de jogadores de basket, nos filmes do Spike Lee, ou no ‘Príncipe de Bel-Air’.

Tens que fazer um esforço para não perderes a cabeça em compras?

Por vezes sim, mas normalmente controlo-me bem.

Tens marcas/modelos preferidos?

Os modelos da Jordan, sobretudo os 3, 4 e 6, pelas formas intemporais. Os New Balance, pelo conforto e qualidade de fabrico, e um ou outro da Adidas e Reebok.

Qual é a tua opinião sobre a dimensão que toda esta indústria está a tomar?

Acho que é positivo que o mercado se expanda, porque a oferta acaba por ser maior, e as pessoas têm mais escolha, por outro lado os preços tendem a atingir níveis demasiado elevados, especialmente em países como o nosso, em que a disponibilidade financeira é menor. O fenómeno dos retro, permite que pessoas mais novas, obtenham aqueles modelos míticos que doutro modo seriam impossíveis de obter; por outro lado a qualidade de fabrico é geralmente inferior e o preço elevado.

Achas que um dia em Portugal ainda vamos ter uma Sneakercon?

Duvido que venhamos a ter uma Sneakercon com a dimensão das que acontecem lá fora, especialmente com o clima económico actual. São mercados muito maiores, com uma rede de lojas muito mais desenvolvida e com uma disponibilidade de modelos mais abrangente.

Partilha connosco sobre três modelos de eleição de 2013.

Em 2013, julgo que tenho que me manter pela Jordan: os Jordan 3 ’88 e Fire Red retro, e os Jordan 4 ‘fear pack’, uma das ‘colorways’ mais bonitas do meu modelo preferido de sempre.

Os dois primeiros são clássicos, sendo que o primeiro é uma das raras aparições do logo ‘Nike Air’ num par de Jordans nos últimos 15 anos. Os 4 são um exemplo perfeito de que é possível aplicar novas colorways a formas com 25 anos sem desrespeitar o legado da marca.

Cool Mugs, Bruh

by Jake Woolf

Remember those awesome ass socks we showed you a few months back? You know, the ones with Biggie, Louis Vuitton monograms and Versace logos all over them? Well, now that same company is getting in on the mug game for no apparent reason other than why the fuck not? We’re not complaining. Much in the same vein as the aforementioned socks, these mugs feature culturally relevant shit like “Flu Game” Michael Jordan, Luke Skywalker, Cam’Ron and, yes, even emojis. To be honest, I don’t really ever use a mug because I don’t have a coffee maker in my apartment and our office provides paper cups for convenience, but now that we’re discussing it, using 2 paper cupz every time I get coffee due to the fact that the Complex overlords don’t provide sleeves to protect my sensitive hands is wild wasteful. Catch me with my new emoji mug saving the planet in the very near future.

Earl Sweatshirt x Lakai Footwear Collection

by Maude Churchill
Catarinamfialho

Hélder chouriço!

The Odd Future crew are no strangers to sartorial projects, with their own clothing line a booming success among their fans and followers. So it’s a natural progression for one of their key members, Earl Sweatshirt, to launch his own. Teaming up with skateboard footwear company Lakai, Mr Sweatshirt has co-designed his own range of low-top creps. With both parties hailing from California and sharing a love for skateboarding, it’s a natural partnership. Earl took the low-top Camby sneaker and applied black canvas, red suede and green suede uppers. The fourth and final style features an original pattern print, which is mirrored on the lining of the others. All four styles will be available from March 1 at the Golf Wang store in Fairfax, Los Angeles.

Damon Albarn ‘Lonely Press Play’ Videoclip

by STAFF

Dopo ‘Everyday Robots’, il primo singolo dell’omonimo album in uscita, Damon Albarn ha da poco messo online il videoclip della seconda traccia che anticipa il disco: ‘Lonely Press Play’.

Il nuovo disco dell’ex-frontman dei blur uscirà il prossimo 29 Aprile ed è ora in pre-order su iTunes.

8. You asked a dumb question in class.
9. Your boss tried to start a conversation with you but you couldn't think of anything to say so you just said "Yup" or "Cool Beans!" and then you stared back at your computer and ignored them hoping that maybe you tricked them into thinking that you are actually some sort of super genius who is obsessed with their work but has poor social skills, or something.

Clever Pizza Cutter Doubles as a Tiny Fixed-Gear Bicycle

by Sara Barnes


If you love riding bicycles and eating pizza (and let’s face it - who doesn’t?) then DOIY’s Fixie Pizza Cutter is made with you in mind. The Barcelona-based company designed a miniature bike that also cuts your pie into neat slices. This whimsical utensil is modeled after a fixed-gear cruiser, and comes complete with tiny handlebars, a seat, and two stainless steel tires that rotate and double as razor-sharp slicers. The watermelon and bumblebee color combinations divide your pizza in style as the fixie easily glides through cheese, toppings, and crust.

Products like the Fixie Pizza Cutter make ordinary tasks entertaining. Their functional and fun designs ask us to embrace the light-hearted side of things. DOIY produces an abundance of other objects that they call “happy design gifts,” which, like the bikes, also marry practicality and humor. Their other amusing items include ear-shaped pencil sharpeners, Foosball drink openers, and Polaroll, a camera that doubles as a toilet paper roll holder.

Thousands of Swimming Fish Create Huge Underwater Spirals

by katie hosmer


American photographer Octavio Aburto thrives on the fascinating world of life in the sea. He has spent decades studying and researching marine biology in order to educate the world about the protection and conservation of ocean life. Since 1994, Aburto has photographed marine ecosystems in Mexican coastal waters. He has documented everything from individual creatures to massive schools of fish traveling in coordinated movements.

This completely awe-inspiring series features large groups of fish going about their everyday, underwater lives. While diving one day in Mexico, Aburto and his friend David Castro came upon these swirling tornado-like forms which turned out to be thousands of fish in the midst of a reproductive courtship. For some, the large, swarming masses could seem a bit intimidating. But, not for these two adventurous photographers who pointed their cameras and documented the rare biological phenomenon that was taking place below the surface of the sea.
