Everybodys favourite bootleg brand is making a hefty comeback this Spring/Summer with bags. Now I know they brought back the so-called “graffiti” bags to honor the late Stephen Sprouse (R.I.P.) but sh!t was straight foul and obnoxious. As an artist myself, I take an offence when ppl tend to exploit the word graffiti and make big dollars out of the street art. People get aggravated on the drop of that word, the cops still wanna kick our asses for it (hell, they even beat down Obey when he was posting the Hope posters) and yet, everybody is trying to make a buck off of it. I don’t mind if they called the bag scribbles or whatever, but graffiti was just the wrong choice in my opinion. I respect Stephen Sprouse and admire all his work that he has left behind, but that one just seems to pinch a nerve. Moving along, I peeped the new bag collection from Louis Vuitton’s Ready-To Wear Spring/Summer 2009 show in Paris and the sh!t is off the hook. The various new designs, choice of materials and colours are simply amazing. This is a true display of class and elegance, which will continue to carry the legacy of the brand. Peep the rest of the flicks after the jump. (more…)

This was not a film that made my “ubiquitous”  9 of ’09, but it could be a big one this summer. Once again they’ve been on the low with the markeying thus far, but rumours persist that this Sunday there may be a trailer for this film, apparently there’s a big football game on Sunday or something like that……anywhoo G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra coming out August, 7, 2009 enjoy!
