Saint Laurent Will Show “Part 1″ of its Fall 2016 Collection in Hollywood
Between dropping "Yves" from Saint Laurent after he was named creative director of the Parisian label in 2012 to setting up shop in West Hollywood, Hedi Slimane has always been a bit unconventional. Case in point: The French creative director announced Tuesday that he will show the fall 2016 men's collection and "part 1" of the women's collection at the Hollywood Palladium on Feb. 10.
Rediscovered Photos From the 1970's Hollywood Skate Scene
Photographer Hugh Holland was in the right place at the right time, he says. That place was LA and the time was 1975. "Skateboarding was happening in many places, but not like in California," he says over the phone from LA, where he still lives at 74. "To me, it seemed like this was the center of everything." Hugh's photos of long-haired, golden-skinned kids gunning down Hollywood's hills and tearing up its boulevards document the very origins of skate culture.
Over the course of three years, Holland took thousands of photos of the scene as it changed from an unruly after-school activity to a professional sport, complete with competitions, endorsement deals, and helmets. Glowing with late-afternoon California light, the images sat unsorted in boxes at his house for decades. But earlier this month, they went on show at Blender Gallery in Sydney (Hugh: "So many of these Australian surfers looked just like the kids in my pictures!"). And Hugh is still sifting through his crates.

Back from LA I find myself packed with super nice good vintage found on the Rose Bowl Flea Market, lovely chocolates by Mary & Matt, a beautiful vintage Japanese Kokeshi figure from Tortoise General Store, the memory of the good food at Gjelina take-away and much much more! It was a week to remember with Menno & Rene and I hope we’ll be back soon! If you are in-, or visiting LA, make sure to visit on La Brea Avenue’s Shelter Half, What Goes Around Comes Around, Post 42 and General Quarters, and on Abbot Kinney Blvd Gjelina,Intelligentsia Coffee, Turtoise General Store, Surfing Cowboys and Mister Freedom’s Bazar. And keep an eye on ‘Sweet Thing’ and ‘Identical Eye’, two lovely blogs focussed on LA and around.

Lane Coder & Larry Letters - Sightseeing in Suburbia
Taken from their Californian voyeurism-inspired series, image-makers Lane Coder and Larry Letters’ muted portraits of sightseers and suburbanites are simultaneously soft and hyperreal. “We were very interested in capturing tourists and locals in their natural state, and capturing behavior that was lacking in self-consciousness,” says Coder. “What we observed was often strange and often beautiful.”
