We need to avoid people who are toxic.
Meaning that in every relationship between two people,
People could either be toxic or nourishing to one another.
That’s not to the say the same person will always be toxic or nourishing to every relationship, but, the combination of two people, in a relationship, will always have toxic or nourishing qualities.
The important part is the test. Chill with somebody. Chop it up, Smoke, Drink, whatever your demon is. It don’t matter what the fuck it is. But at the end of that time, you gotta ask yourself a very important question.
Do you feel tired? Or do you feel energized? Cause if you tired, then you’ve been poisoned; if you got energy then you’ve been nourished.
You are the company that you keep man. You know what; fuck your fake ass lifestyle. You look okay, but your energies tired, son.

Scooped this up for summer wearin’ days. Its exactly the same one as the grey one I purchased up a few months back. Pretty fantastic. I’ve thrashed my grey one and it’s still going strong. Thanks to Orika for helping me with this one
This is a pretty big one and now that the official release date is slated for May 18. We can put it out there (tracklisting and all).
When I heard this two months back I wasn’t really into it, maybe because it wasn’t complete. I got my copy yesterday and I played it all day at the office. Two legendary artists coming together to try to do something creative and real. How could I have doubted this project?

gonna leave you with my favourite two songs (d/l up by the tracklisting) and an interview from okayplayer to get you hyped to buy this.
Do you ever feel like shit and/or miserable after you “let the one get away”. Well, I’ve had three chances to obtain this and I finally got it yesterday. Probably worked out for the best, as this is the cheapest I’ve seen it.
LUCA your work truly has me in awe. Addicted like its crack cocaine. Best knitwear known to man-kind!
my blurred facial expression is sayin’ I need some more cra..LUC
Oh, you know– I don’t think I can ever get enough.
A collection definitely aimed at formal simplicity, at geometry and its correlated mathematical ratios, which has found its distinctive mark in knitwear. A stylistic development whose pace is never imposed by the frantic rhythm of fashion but by the urge to actualise ideas loaded with small details drawn from the simple world of everyday life.
Just as any other thing consisting of size, ratios, forms and spaces, also knitwear is considered in terms of its bidimensional (2D) or tridimensional (3D) components: therefore, not a simple line on paper, but a territory rich in experiment and research that allows the creation of new ‘identities’ to wear.
100% Wool
Trousers are also by LUC (low rise trousers)
One of my favourite brands. Tomoaki Okaniwa can do no wrong. The mature and gradual growth of Tomoaki’s work is very cohesive from season to season. I even enjoyed his earlier creations (FW07 and FW08) more than his current. If you have been on this site before you know I have handled and own many pieces from VA, so I can attest to the quality and craftmanship of Tomoaki’s work.
