Man on Wire, revisited

Jake Davis is a filmmaker with a lengthy resume and deep industry connections. Philip Petit is a tightrope walker with big dreams and bigger balls. Together they just cranked out a clean little number for perennial streetwear favorite Supreme to accompany their Fall look book. It’s simple and clean, and nothing mind-blowing. But sometimes clean and simple is all you need.

GQ x Lebron James

The September issue’s cover story for GQ features an interview and photo spread with the once beloved but now kind-of-despised superstar basketball player, Lebron James. Based on released excerpts, it should be fairly revealing and informative as he moves forward with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami. See an excerpt, behind the scenes video, and pictures below.

“It’s not far, but it is far. And Clevelanders, because they were the bigger-city kids when we were growing up, looked down on us.… So we didn’t actually like Cleveland. We hated Cleveland growing up. There’s a lot of people in Cleveland we still hate to this day.”

Check out the pictures after the jump.

Grain & Gram

grainandgram

Grain & Gram is the new ‘Gentleman’s Journal’ that brings you articles and videos on dudes that are in the business of making hand-made, timeless wares. The site is pretty new, so they don’t have a ton of content at this point, but their art direction and photos are really nice, the subjects they’ve chosen are compelling, and they have a really cool short documentary on printmaker Nick Sambrato (pictured above) which you can watch below.

J.Crew vs. The Medium

J.Crew’s dramatic self-reinvention over the past couple years is news to no one. Their myriad collaborations with designers across the creative and cost spectrums have established themselves not only as wildly successful designers, but also retailers. More than any other company they’ve helped define the trajectory of the latest resurgence in classic Americana, funneling Red Wing, Sperry, Barbour and others right into the mainstream.

It would seem however, that their decidedly Northeastern sensibilities are about to take a twist towards the European. Watch above as model Mona Johannesson coquettishly prances about, showing off the company’s Fall ready to wear line. Nothing mind blowing, beyond the classic khakis and stripes you’d expect. But the NYT’s perpetually on point ‘The Medium’ column takes a deeper dive. Virginia Heffernan puts it thusly:

The re-emergence in pop fashion of the blue-and-white-striped sailor shirt has been a blessing to J.Crew’s Web site this summer. The shirt is sporty and thus not un-American, while also signifying “Paris,” a new concept jcrew.com has been audaciously colonizing. The site twinkles with references to France and haute couture, and recently it has positioned dissipated and mysterious Euro-type models in the slots that used to be reserved for “J. Crew models” — fresh-faced, wholesome strawberry blondes

The stateside European, in J. Crew’s imagining, wears all our usual American stuff — shorts, T-shirts, cargo pants, polo shirts — but has no use whatsoever for the simplicity and androgyny that used to be hallmarks of preppy…

You don’t envision someone in J. Crew playing lacrosse anymore; they seem more likely to be philosophizing and seducing…

This summer, then, what is the new J. Crew ideal? Not the East Hampton WASP, not anymore. Rather, it’s the sultry au pair watching the children. In sequins.
