According to a Press Release, Hellz Bellz’s Spring 2010 collection, Obsessed With You, “reflects an obscure view of modern fashion and the obsession that it becomes.” This minimal color story reflects the theme of obsession with the main focus on the unique and simplistic details of each silhouette.

Key pieces include a cowl neck tunic given a hint of seductiveness through the use of a subtle zipper detail at the back of the dress and an exciting new take on the traditional blazer is Coat Tailz, which features a circle cut and a unique draped back. With this new and daring collection, Hellz continues to cross boundaries with well thought-out design and carefully crafted details as well as demonstrating that fashion may be work to some and it may be a hobby for others, but for popular culture it will forever be an obsession. Take a look at the entire look book below.

While the world impatiently waits for Jack Davey and Brook D’Leau of J*DaVeY to release their Warner Bros. album New Designer Drug, we are left to lust after their every creative morsel. Luckily, Jack and Brook have blessed us with a visual for their recently released freebie track “Get Together.” Our favorite genre-scramblers serve up another gem made of one-part electronic music, two-parts soul, a dash of hip hop, and a little more than a pinch of sex appeal with a video that can only be described as a futuristic amalgamation of Tinkerbell meets The Shining.

Directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Veronica Hinds, the video takes viewers on a journey of transcendence as the main characters are lured away from their everyday lives by a floating orb of light that leads them to the entrance of the unknown. When asked about the main concept behind the video Jack Davey explains, “I kept seeing a processional march down a hallway… and wanted to convey the main characters following their light to a meeting place.” This concept was adopted to convey the main message behind the song; transcendence – breaking free of the confines of the everyday to experience a life without boundaries. “People need to step out of their individual bubbles and start connecting with other people” says Jack Davey. “Step outside of your comfort zone and feel something new, try something new, speak to someone new, transcend.” This message rings especially true with fans who recognize J*DaVeY for their refusal to be boxed into a stereotype or genre. When the glowing orb appears in front of you, will you follow it? Are you ready to break away from the confines of everyday life and explore a new dimension with Jack and Brook?

I first heard Roisin Murphy perform “Royal T,” then named “Royalty” at Viktor & Rolf’s Spring/Summer 2010 fashion show in Paris. I was hooked instantly of course. Turns out the track is from Crooker’s delightful album Tons of Friends. I can’t understand a word she’s saying. But it sounds cool and honestly that’s all that matters. Listen and download “Royal T” below.

Keith Olbermann’s speech was crazy beautiful. I don’t know who could have said this truth any better. It was about time someone was brave enough to say it out loud.

Lady Aiko is a founding member of the artist collective FAILE, formed in 1999, which helped fuel the current wave of global contemporary street art with spontaneous wheat pastings and stenciling in numerous world capitals. Lady Aiko’s solo career with works on canvas that incorporate collage, stenciling, brushwork, spray paint, and serigraphy. This bricolage technique perfectly suits AIKO’s eclectic practice—a voracious mash-up of Japanese and American pop culture, including comics, children’s book illustrations, advertising, classic movie posters, and soft-core pornography.

She is currently wrapping up a show at the Joshua Liner Gallery.
