Number (N)ine
February 26th, 2009
This week the fashion world lost a very important brand. Number (N)ine launched by Takahiro Miyashita 12 years ago is closing. I personally have found great inspiration to his brand especially his Axel Rose collection. He closed on a high note, with his last Fall 09 Collection titled “A Closed Feeling” inspired by his motel room while staying in Alaska. He was and is a true visionary and will be missed.

Yves Saint Laurent’s art collection including masterpieces by Picasso and Matisse went for a record of 261 Million dollars. The collection was of an extraordinary quality and quantity and buyers came from all over the world. Much of the profits and proceeds will go to AIDS/HIV research. Yves Saint Laurent was a legendary designer and icon whose work will be seen for generations. This auction celebrated and honored the compulsive energy of St. Laurent.
Christoper Wool at Auction
February 12th, 2009
Contemporary art has been a exploding arena for a number of years. Christoper Wool recently had one of his famous stencil paintings go to auction at Christie’s auction house. Final sale price $322,399. He’s normally represented by the world famous Gagosian Gallery. So much for a recession.
Its a great piece and really represents a part of our brand in its “go fuck yourself” spirit.

Houseboating is a great leisure to do on a calm body of water. A different feel than the typical yacht.
And if your going to do it, you might as well do it in style.
