A Shaded View on Fashion

October 15th, 2008

Pharrell Williams is one of the most prolific and brilliant music producers of the past ten years. He created the duo "The Neptunes" with his partner Chad Hugo. Together they write songs for artists such as Justin Timberlake, Nelly, Britney Spears, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Usher and the Rolling Stones. He also founded his own band "N.E.R.D" (with his childhood friends Shae Haley and Chad Hugo) : the style of the group is ecclectic, from Hip-hop to Indie rock. read more »

Sean John veterans Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne launched their rebel-themed label, Public School, to the beat of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" rather than to their former boss's hip-hop stylings.

More often (and it's quite often) than not, they're compared to the Beastie Boys of the License to Ill era, so it's no surprise that their MySpace page claims these lo-fi, fabulous rap upstarts—Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish, who are actually from Chicago and Detroit—hail from "Illville, USA."

Put A Record On: Santogold

May 19th, 2008 | Global

Despite the fact that Santogold's self-titled debut album just dropped at the end of April, the buzz about this New York-based singer has been building inexorably since early 2007. At least, that's when we first learned about her in a Fader profile (she's since moved up to the cover for the mag's January 2008 issue). read more »

Downsizing

June 26th, 2003 | New York, Los Angeles

After over a decade of encouraging the precarious hanging of baggy trousers from butt cheeks, urban streetwear is experiencing a significant size change that have patterns cutting slimmer and denim downsizing to actually fit the wearer. Remember the early days of rap when Run DMC waxed an ode to "My Adidas," and LL Cool J opined "I Need Love"? When street cred came in the form of wearing monochromatic ensembles of buttoned up Le Tigre polo shirts, fitted Lee jeans, and shell toe Adidas? read more »
