An outfit with a multitude of disciplines and one vision, Staple houses an apparel label, a creative agency that has done good work for the likes of Microsoft and LVMH, a retail store, and some pretty unshakable cred all under one roof. Established in 1997 by its founder, Jeff Ng (known in the scene as [...]

Fresh off their stunning debut album launch at Esplanade Recital Hall, In Each Hand A Cutlass (IEHAC) proved that their sprawling dynamism on record translates absurdly well into a nautical-themed stage spectacle. But despite their inspired live show, IEHAC’s music is best experienced with closed lids. Labeled as “music for the cinema of the mind”, [...]

Irish alternative rock legends The Cranberries will be coming down and bringing along their oh-so catchy lilting hooks and Celtic-tinted dream pop in tow! The ‘90s saw them gain massive acclaim on the strength of hits such as “Linger”, “Zombie” and “Ode to My Family”, and though the band has been dormant lately, us adoring [...]

With Les Queues de Sardines, there’s no way those gams of yours will be going unnoticed. This French label specialises strictly in stockings of a loud and proud nature – each pair boasting unique and terribly cute graphics (A holstered gun?

This A/W season, Topshop Unique turns its sights on the equally industrial and elegant age of 1930s America. So expect nothing but a sumptuous feast of prints and fabrics that coo luxury, and lean silhouettes to reflect the decade’s modern metropolis. For every refined bit of tailoring (sharp collars and corsets), there’s an opulent twist [...]

Hamburg DJs Frederic Berger and Patrick Buck had been making edgy dance music individually for over a decade but while their separate efforts were floor-filling, it was never quite fulfilling. Turns out all they needed was each other, because once they joined forces to form Kaiserdisco in 2008, everything seemed to fall into place. It’s [...]

This post is really for the girls, though we know all you boys have your eyes on the smokin’ hot and well-padded Lara Stone prancing around in nothing more than her intimates (from the Naked Glamour collection). Hallejujah! There are few models (by models we mean the products, sorry) to embrace, from sporty cotton ones [...]
