CHRIS GIBBS OF UNION LA ON HYPEBEAST TV "DEFINING UNION"


I BELIEVE THAT EVERY TIME YOU SHOP IT SHOULD BE AN EXPERIENCE. FROM THE RIDE TO YOUR DESTINATION, AND UNION LA AS WELL AS UNION NYC PROVIDES JUST THAT. TO THINK UNION STARTED OUT WITH A BOOTH IN A OPEN LOT ON SPRING STREET, TO NOW BEING ONE OF THE BEST RETAIL SPACES IN THE US THAT HAS ALWAYS PROVIDED THE PUBLIC WITH INCREDIBLE PRODUCT AND AN AMAZING SHOPPING EXPERIENCE.

LESSONS FROM A TAILOR MARTIN GREENFIELD


Lessons from a Tailor. Directed by Galen Summer from Ed David on Vimeo.
I HAVE AN IMMENSE RESPECT FOR THIS PROFESSION, SPECIALLY WHEN IT IS DONE WITH THE SKILL, INTEGRITY, AND PASSION THAT MARTIN GREENFIELD EXPRESSES THRU EVERY SUIT HE CUTS FROM THOM BROWNE , BAND OF OUTSIDERS, AND RAG&BONE TO NAME A FEW. GQ REFERS TO HIM AS "AMERICA'S GREATEST LIVING TAILOR". A WELL TAILORED SUIT IS SO "NEW YORK MINDED" THE RIGHT FIT CAN TURN ANY SUIT INTO THE PERFECT OUTFIT, I LOVE TAKING A TRIP TO MY TAILOR AND SPENDING HOURS TALKING ABOUT FABRICS AND DRIVING HIM CRAZY OVER ALTERATION OPTIONS, AND THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION "WHAT MAKES A SUIT THE PERFECT SUIT?" THE GQ INTERVIEW WITH MR. GREENFIELD INCLUDES SIMILAR TOPICS...

JAY-Z ft. SWIZZ BEATZ "ON TO THE NEXT ONE" OFFICIAL VIDEO


GREAT NEW VIDEO BY Director Anthony Madler using bizarre imagery to insert the notorious three lines that symbolizes Blueprint 3. VERY CREATIVE AND THE MUSIC IS FLAWLESS LIKE ALWAYS COMING FROM J, AND I DO NOT THINK THE IMAGES ARE BIZARRE BUT J, SWIZZ, AND JEEZY JUST STANDING AROUND WHILE EVERYTHING IS GOING ON IS KINDA WIERD BUT THEN AGAIN WHAT ELSE COULD THEY HAVE DONE IM SURE THEY WHERE NOT WILLING TO PAINT 3 LINES ON THEMSELVES. ALL IN ALL THE VIDEO IS A GOOD WATCH AND HOV IS ALWAYS "NEW YORK MINDED"
