Rebrand Your ‘Hood for Good
- Lee-Sean Huang wrote in Design, New York City and BrooklynHow can we use the power of branding to strengthen a shared identity and spark positive change in the neighborhoods and cities where we live? An effective visual identity references the culture and history of a place’s people and reflects their hopes and aspirations. Logos, fonts, or color schemes, the most tangible parts of a brand identity, are not magical cure-alls for the financial, social, and cultural ills of a city, but they can be powerful symbols and rallying cries that galvanize people to action.

“Lindsay Lohan is My Spirit Animal”
Can you honestly think of a better time to show you allegiance to #TeamLindsay aka “LiLo Mob” other than right now. For that matter, what better way to show your Liloyalty than a dope print (or iPhone case, or stationery). Designed by me of course. I’m shameless.
FRESH FITTED FRIDAY
New Era x DISSIZIT New York City Dissizit
Navy crown with an orange brim. Kinda reminds me of Syracuse G hats from back in the day. The fresh bit about this particular cap is the New Era side logo in a matching colorway.

CELEBRITY FASHION DJ MAY KWOK:

I’d like to launch an awareness campaign aimed at rude New Yorkers, written in a style they’ll understand, so that one day, maybe, they won’t be quite so shitty.
I should note that most New Yorkers are completely wonderful, caring people. It’s just that some of us seem to enjoy the “New Yorkers are assholes” thing a bit too much.
Laurie Simmons - “The Love Doll: Days 1-30”
Saw this tonight at Salon 94 in Downtown Manhattan, NYC. The gallery is brand new and sits one building over from The Poo New Museum. It’s a beautiful space and the exhibit was awesome. I recommend checking it out.
In the fall of 2009, Simmons ordered a customized, high end Love Doll from Japan. The doll, designed as a surrogate sex partner, arrived in a crate, clothed in a transparent slip and accompanied by a separate box containing an engagement ring and female genitalia. Simmons began to document her photographic relationship with this human scale ‘girl’. The resulting photographs depict the lifelike, latex doll in an ongoing series of ‘actions’, shown and titled chronologically from the day Simmons received the doll, through to the present.
