NeckFace is a graffiti/street artist based in LA (though his work [and the work of imitators] can be seen worldwide)
I've seen his stuff in San Francisco and New York.
His work has somehow managed to cross over from brick walls and sign-posts to fine art galleries, and in the process his medium has shifted from spray paint and cattle marker to more fine-art materials and beercans (???)
His work is definitely still raw though, without question.

here are some of his recent pieces:





and his signature vans??

Leather just doesnt look dead enough.. I think a carcass would do.

I think a quality hat is one of the most neglected of accessories. Victor Osbourne has done some pretty interesting pieces for this newest collection, including this little number.

details. details.

I'm a sucker for sculptural details and no one does it better than Zac Posen. This piece from pre-fall '08 is definitely on my wish list after I spotted it on lovely Leighton Meester from Gossip Girl.

How many photographers does it take to make a picture?

The photographer duo is so hot right now. You may have seen the Miu Miu photos by Mert + Marcus (below, July 17th post) or heard of Markus Klinko + Indrani, but there is a fresh pair for you to slip into. Reed + Rader. Its new, its funky, its fresh.
