Here is the run down.(this press excerpt courtesy of HBO)
"How to Make It in America" follows two enterprising Brooklyn twenty
somethings as they hustle their way through New York City, determined
to achieve the American Dream. Trying to make a name for themselves in
New York's competitive fashion scene, Ben Epstein (Greenberg) and his
friend and business partner Cam Calderon (Rasuk)
use their street
knowledge and connections to bring their ambitions to fruition. With
the help of Cam's cousin Rene (Guzman), who is trying to market his own
high-energy drink, and their well-connected friend Domingo ("Kid
Cudi"), the entrepreneurs set out to make it big, encountering
obstacles along the way that will require all their ingenuity to
overcome.
"How to Make It in America" also stars Lake Bell as Ben's ex-girlfriend Rachel, who is concentrating on her own career and a new relationship; Martha Plimpton ("Beautiful Girls," "200 Cigarettes") as Rachel's boss Edie, an eccentric interior designer; Shannyn Sossamon ("40 Days and 40 Nights," "The Holiday") as Gingy, Ben and Cam's artsy friend; and Eddie Kaye Thomas ("Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist," "American Pie") as David Kaplan, a successful hedge fund manager and high school friend of Ben's.
Creator and first-time writer Ian Edelman is collaborating with Emmy nominee Rob Weiss ("Entourage") on many of the show's scripts. The pilot and other episodes of the show are being directed by Julian Farino. Additional writers and directors will be announced as they are confirmed.
"How to Make It in America" is produced by HBO Entertainment; executive producers, Stephen Levinson, Rob Weiss, Ian Edelman, Julian Farino, Jada Miranda and Mark Wahlberg; producer, Jane Raab.
Notice a lot of men with beards lately? Does "rustic" come to mind? C-urbans are
Country-urban. Maybe a backlash to the metro sexual look from a few
years back? Flannel shirts (think an updated version of Kurt Cobain's
style) and red wing boots with fitted jeans. A bit more fashionable,
note the accessories, always a great pair of sunnies. (pic above is of
photographer Kris Payne and pic below of photographer/artist Peter
Sutherland) They hike, collect tools, can build a desk from scratch,
and usually make some form of art. Back to basics baby in that quest to be reductive. 
The urban woodsman or C-urban is just as hip and prevalent as the skurban (skate-urban) dude. They are the utilitarian kids that live in
Portland, Tokyo, Seattle, Silverlake and Williamsburg that are just as
comfortable discussing skate culture, the hottest DJs, getting tickets
to Coachella or wielding an axe. Some of them even care about bath
products although the grooming sometimes throws you off. Go to brands
are Neighborhood, Boneyards, Stussy, Nike, Supreme, Dickies, JCrew,
Timberland, Cabelas, Dunderdon and Epaulet. These urban lumberjacks
are fashion forward but classic in dress. Is there a female version?
Not yet, although they are usually accompanied by a cute, skinny jean
and VISVIM wearing fashionista who cooks, makes art, reads books and
believes in green living.
My darling husband Paul Mittleman was so moved by the situation in Haiti he decided to sell his sneaker collection. 20 years worth of limited edition sneakers will be be put to good use to raise money for UNICEF. Many of the sneakers are shoes he designed for Undefeated, Stussy or Nike including rare AirJordans that were never avail. for sale. The auction is on Ebay, all items are authentic and will have a certificate and tax deductible statement. We hope to raise ten thousand dollars. 100% of the proceeds go to Unicef.
I admire his good will and am thrilled that the sneakers will go to provide disaster relief and aid to children. If you have husbands or boyfriends that love kicks, please bid- its a great cause.
Damien Hirst-Supreme decks are finally done. Will drop next week. British artist Damien Hirst was born in 1965 in Bristol, England. (press release courtesy of Supreme) During the 1990s Hirst was known as a wild child in the art world and his work embodied both everyday realism and provocative sensationalism. Known for his ironic wit and cultural commentary, Hirst often explores the theme of mortality through a variety of mediums and techniques from installation work, to painting and sculpture.
A series utilizing preserved dead animals suspended in formaldehyde (including a shark, a sheep and a cow) catapulted Hirst to fame amidst controversy. The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, a 14-foot tiger shark immersed in a glassed display case of formaldehyde became the iconic work of British art in the 1990s. Its sale in 2004 made Hirst the world's second most expensive living artist after Jasper Johns.
Hirst is known for his iconic graphic Spot paintings that depict rows of randomly-colored circles. Supreme will release a series of five individually designed decks and a Box Logo tee designed by Damien Hirst featuring his Spot paintings.
Available in-store November 19th and online November 23rd. Available in Japan on November 21st.
A tastemaker who has elevated Latin streetculture to an artform. Cartoon does graphics, clothing projects (joker), Movie posters, video games, and shoe projects. His car "sculptures" have been featured in museum shows and he has a worldwide following collecting his art. My favorite car was 1980's Hell's Bells with it's own coke mirror in the back. The tour was totally redankulous-I was blown away.
German skate store DOODAH produced a limited edition of 150 skateboards of supermodels, Isabeli Fontana, Toni Garrn, Edita, and Lara Stone. Shot by Claudia Knoepfel and Stefan Indlekofer they are HOT HOT HOT.doodah
