Nylon TV Backstage @ Y-3 and Diesel Black Gold

 

NYLON TV Covers Diesel Dirty Thirty

Images from Diesel's 30th birthday celebration are all over YouTube, but we love the montage that NYLON TV put together of the NY leg. Also, if you haven't yet, you must, must, must check out the viral video they put out to promote the event. Risque fails to describe it. WARNING: It is not safe for work!

Mischa Barton in NYLON

Make sure you pick up NYLON magazine's August issue. Mischa Barton is on the cover looking better than usual, but she's not the point. This month's issue is all about denim.  Some of our old favorites are featured, naturally, but what has us excited are the less mainstream brands such as Current/Elliot, Bread and Judi Rosen of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Also, flip through it to see some great denim trends you're sure to be wearing in the near future.

RIP Hilly Kristal, founder of CBGB's

Hilly Kristal, founder of punk staple, CBGB's, died yesterday at the age of 75 following a battle with lung cancer.

Almost one year ago, Kristal was forced to close the infamous dive due to rent hikes and other disagreements with the landlord. CB's first opened in 1973 and served as the stage for acts such as the Ramone's, Sonic Youth, and Blondie. As happens so often, given the easy connection between music and art, CBGB's expanded into a gallery space hosting some of the art world's most unique up-and-comers, as well as the annual Terrible Toy Fair.

As Patti Smith says in today's New York Times:

“There was no real venue in 1973 for people like us,” Ms. Smith said on Wednesday. “We didn’t fit into the cabarets or the folk clubs. Hilly wanted the people that nobody else wanted. He wanted us.”

In honor of Kristal, we're wearing our favorite skinny jeans, grey Jimmy jeans, named after CBGB's fixture, Jimmy Web, of Trash & Vaudeville. We suggest you do the same and watch the Ramone's at CB's from 1977:
