In case you didn’t know, Maison Martin Margiela likes paint. In their day the couture Belgian luxury house has crafted many a hand-painted item, including Paint Splattered Austrian Sports Sneakers, White Painted High-top Sneakers and most recently their Paint-Dipped Converse collaboration. Now MMM take those above mentioned Austrian sport sneakers and scribble graffiti on them instead of […]

Clearly the market for art-focused skateboard decks is a rapidly growing one, with seemingly new high end collector’s editions coming out monthly.

The Brothers Dewaelen — aka Soulwax, aka TooManyDJs — return with another edition of their Radio Soulwax sessions. Following such classic installments as their Pin-Ups Mixtape/Video, an hour-long eye-popping homage to 70s boob-inspired album cover art, as well as their Under The Covers Vol. 3 mixtape, another audio/video mashup, Soulwax return with the aptly titled RSWX […]
