The skull-obsessed label puts a touch of the macabre on a classic

This navy leather billfold is the latest from the Alexander Mcqueen luxury house. Not surprising for the skull-obsessed label, the straightforward design is trimmed with a touch of razor’s edge by a skeletal column embossed along the wallet’s spine. Subtly provocative, yet still classic in its aesthetic. The rich leather wallet is a Mr. Porter exclusive for $265. A […]


There’s been a movement of art manifested on skateboard decks that has elevated the medium from mere utilitarian transportation to serious artistic canvas. Boom-Art for one has created cheekily lascivious takes on the medium with their 1970s Pin-Up Girl Skateboards and Disney Orgy Skate Decks, while others have gone more restrained like FTC x intheyellow’s […]

The final book in trilogy of complete world knowledge

When you’re caught in an outbreak, make sure you’re equipped

“Time to nut up or shut up” is one of the best lines from Zombieland, and Tallahassee — the character from the 2009 movie — had it right when he coined it. When things turn into an all-out battle royal dead person eating fest, it’s survival of the fittest. However, I’d like to think that […]

Vertebrata's skeletal creatures in desolate & sullen human spaces

Marc Da Cunha Lopes, a photographer based in France, may be known for his editorial and commercial work, but it’s his personal artistic work that has led to recent interest.
