I’ve selected this street advertising takeover post for this Sunday, just for inspiration. “MaSAT (Madrid Street Advertising Takeover) is the second international SAT project, and the third in a continuing series of civil disobedience projects aimed at reclaiming space for public dialogue in a commercially saturated environment. It’s not a new insight that this is a new form of advertising, and this certainly isn’t the first advertising takeover, but I think there is something cool about these takeovers that I haven’t seen very often before. Now, of course, Kaws was famous for doing just this same thing, and see how far he has come. Anyway, enough of my rambling, here are some examples of the Madrid Street Adverting Takeover, enjoy!!!

I’ve selected some of Citizen Couture best street-pics for this Sunday, just for inspiration. I hardly ever do a blog post for girls. Today is a beautiful Sunday so… let’s change it up a little bit and do some different things. It also doesn’t hurt that these girls are as beautiful as they can be. So, girls what frames are you feeling this spring?

This project explores the invisible terrain of WiFi networks in urban spaces. A four-metre long measuring rod with 80 points of light reveals cross-sections through WiFi networks using a photographic technique called light-painting. Stunning, I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been to remove the man holding the rod from each frame.

Wearing sunglasses to protect our eyes from the sun’s harmful UV rays is a given however we have to admit they are the best looking piece of protection around! With all these fashion weeks and all these fashion shows around the world, there are already fashion predictions for the upcoming season. While for clothing this includes which styles, cuts, and colours are in (and which are out), designer sunglasses are a bit subtle. Some designer brands, are already revealing their next collections. Most of the designs, so far, appear to be a step in a more classic direction. One particular style we’ve seen so far gain popularity has been wayfarer styles, for both men and women. The cat-eye sunglasses trend was, of course, sparked on the Spring/Summer 2010 runways back in September, and the look has caught on fast after a lot of celebs has been spotted wearing a pair of cat-eye shades recently. Of all the sunglasses designers, Persol Sunglasses probably have the most history, dating back to the 1900s. These are definitely my new favourite style, I love buying new sunglasses – it’s definitely somewhat of an addiction. The Persol sunglasses are so classic with a hint of vintage. The perfect pair of Persols for my summer in Indonesia and Dubai. Thanks to Mo Anwar I’ve selected some of the best sunglasses trends for 2011 for this Sunday, enjoy!!!

“An artist has no home in Europe except in Paris.” – Friedrich Nietzsche. Street art and graffiti, when spoken about by those who don’t enjoy the experience of discovering unauthorised art in city spaces. Paris has such fantastic street art. As I was doing some cleaning up of my study today, I came across the young street artist Lory Louves . Lory Louves is a young Paris-based guerilla street artist who calls himself Clarck. I’ve selected some of his best work for this Sunday, enjoy!!!

The rise of talented new designers and new labels has added colour to the Dutch fashion scene, showcasing fresh, bright ideas and innovative work. The emergence of new local labels certainly offers more choices for fashion lovers in town, pumping up fresh blood into the fashion industry. Last Tuesday Wella and Mynth Events presented Boutyq, a new Dutch style platform where Francisco van Benthum, Jeroen van Tuyl, Jan Boelo and the British label Unconditional showcased their new collection. Francisco van Benthum kicked off the show with notable pieces from his White-label collection like his stunning flannel pants, perfect dress shirts and the perfect 3/4 length parka. Jan Boelo and the British label Unconditional were show stoppers, but then again I’m mostly talking about their selection of music and models. Fortunately, the overall look was a little bit “too edgy”. Jeroen van Tuyl who is renown for his use of classic fabrics mixed with modern, slim cuts and tailoring showed some elegant, clean suits that were inspired by pieces of broken glass. So, I guess that was it… and enjoy this Weekend’s Best!!!

Thanks to Yoga Priyautama, photographer Yasumasa Yonehara is currently one of my favourite photographers. Well, maybe for most men. He’s a Japanese photographer whose work is mainly focused on the women’s body. With seductious poses, he managed to deliver the art of women’s body. Pretty similar to Terry Richardson I guess but than maybe an asian version. I’ve selected some of his best photos for this Sunday- upon the condition that some hot girls should feature on them, enjoy!!!

It’s the last day of an unusually long weekend, and there’s absolutely nothing on the schedule. I thought that maybe since I had been working out over the last 3 weeks I could just do nothing today. I’m always doing SOMETHING. Reading, blogging, texting, cooking, planning, exercising, driving… Sometimes I’m downright uncomfortable with silence. Ah well, I will just go to the city centre and spend my whole day reading magazines and books. There is nothing like holding a hardbound book in my hands and leafing through its many pages. Ah… and I cannot forget that indescribable book scent (especially from older books) that I can never get enough of. I hope you enjoy your weekend as well!

The Cobrasnake is an international phenomenon. He is, to put it bluntly, the quintessential hipster; not exactly forthcoming in appearance, his wild hair, differing facial hair designs, and vintage attire doesn’t exactly scream accomplished in any field other than smoking weed and channel surfing. But that’s the point. This guy knows that some girls where born to be in front of the camera. Others, are going to push their way to the front no matter what. Their mission is to get dressed, get cool, get shot, then get published on the Cobra snake- the online hipster girl equivalent to Girls Gone Wild. To be fair, it’s hardly their fault. I’ve selected some of his best photos for this Sunday- upon the condition that some hot girls should feature on them, enjoy!!!

After reading the ‘i-D Covers – 1980-2010′ book, I immediately bought the latest issue of I-D magazine. This issue includes a feature of the always interesting, 33 year-old rapper, producer and designer Kanye West. I-D’s music editor Hattie Collins sat down with Kanye for what I think is one of the best Kanye West interviews up to date. This interview took place in the middle of the creative process of his two masterpieces: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and his short movie Runaway.

Unlike most Kanye interviews the main focus of this interview is not his music. Kanye speaks about: What qualities he looks for in a woman, Alexander McQueen, his internship at Fendi and the aftermath of the VMA awards of September 2009. “After the MTV thing, I moved to Japan for three weeks, stayed in a hotel and worked on designs.” Kanye tells I-D magazine. “Then I moved to Rome and I interned at Fendi for five months. At weekends I’d take time off to go to Stockholm and meet up with Jonny from ACNE or I’d go and see Giuseppe Zanotti in Italy and work in the factories with him.”

Kanye West is passionate about fashion. He has interned at Fendi, designed his own high-end trainers for Nike and Louis Vuitton and is currently working on a loafer line. Unfortunately he feels he will never be accepted as a worthy clothing designer.“I need to realize that in this lifetime I’d never be Martin Margiela.” Kanye explains. “People who wear Margiela, Dries van Noten and Alexander McQueen will never wear a piece of clothing a rapper designed, because of the heritage behind it.”

I-D magazine’s winter 2010 issue including this interview is already available in stores. I suggest you go and get it.
