New Fashion / Daimon Downey designs art scarves for Bay & Fyfe
April 4, 2012 | New Fashion | by This Island Life |
If you’ve been wondering what Daimon Downey’s getting up to since he left Sneaky Sound System, he’s been making art. He teamed up with concept label Bay & Fyfe after the label’s owner Frith Hucks purchased a piece from Downey’s solo exhibition in New York late last year. Together they’ve created wearable art in the form of luxurious limited edition scarves. Drawing on a series of six paintings titled Pastel Zoo, Downey’s works transfer paint into print and play off the notion of life versus death and good versus evil. Each scarf comes in a run of 400, so grab one before they disappear. Read more

New Fashion / Women’s wetsuits by Byron Bay label Tallow
April 3, 2012 | New Fashion | by This Island Life |
Learning to surf is hard. There’s reading the waves, respecting the line-up, and not freaking out when a big set rolls in. But the biggest challenge of all is finding gear that’s not just functional but fashionable. Call me superficial, but I don’t want to hit the beach wearing some generic ensemble that clashes with my board. So you can imagine my delight when I came across a super cool range of women’s wetsuits by Byron Bay-based label, Tallow. Read more

Everyone is really into intricate lines, dense patterning, and overall fussiness along with a very graphic-design sense of composition these days, which is why I’m really loving the expressive, painterly roughness of Kazuya Akimoto’s work. Read more
Kamrooz Aram is an Iranian-born artist that lives in Brooklyn. Pattern plays a big role in his work and he plays with iconography a lot. His series of paintings that have a greenish, night-vision goggle hue are pretty terrifying. Angels and hawks circle around Persian clouds and the point of view seems to be from an American soldier.
