Dowtown Calling New York City Premiere



New York, New York like Frankie said. Latino film fest I'll be there.

In the late 70s, on the outside, a number of factors would lead many to believe New York City was in a shambles thanks to a weak economy, crime and corruption. Yet through all the socioeconomic rubble came some of the most creative movements ever witnessed through numerous different subcultures. Downtown Calling investigates the landscape and how those movements have had a lasting impact many years after the fact. The New York City premiere of Downtown Calling takes place on Wednesday, July 28th at the New York International Latino Film Festival.

Porsche Design P'6612 Dashboard Le Mans 1970 Limited Edition



Limited to an edition of 917 pieces, the new Porsche Design P´6612 Dashboard Le Mans 1970 Limited Edition chronograph celebrates a key event in Porsche’s motor racing history – the day the legend that is Porsche became fact. The winning car – the legendary red-white-red Porsche 917 K bearing start number 23 – was driven by Porsche works drivers Hans Herrmann and Richard Attwood.
Porsche’s Type 917 set a series of benchmarks in 1970: its air-cooled 12-cylinder midship engine boasted a 4.5-litre displacement delivering 580 HP at 8400 rpm. The P´6612 Dashboard Le Mans 1970 Limited Edition picks up on the function and rigour of the legendary racing car. It embodies the values of Porsche Design, the luxury brand whose products express function, timelessness and purity of form. Sporting light-coloured numeric indices against a black background, its dial evokes the 917′s dashboard instruments. The black minute and hour hands feature a coating of white luminous material, while the seconds stop hand is red and bears a white tip. The sapphire crystal caseback bears the watch’s limited edition number and the inscription “Winner Le Mans 1970″ together with “917-023″ – the chassis number of the winning car.

V Magizine - Sexy Body Issue

Gucci Vintage Carry-On



Gucci is my go to favorite for luggage, timeless classic and functional pieces, if you can afford it then try it. Saw this bag the other day and the size is perfect for those long weekend trips. Material is solid as well won't stain when roughed up. Frida Giannini, creative director, designed this classic piece and my hat goes off.

From the back streets of Florence to the well-upholstered seats of a Learjet 60, for the past 90 years Gucci luggage has been a favourite of the smartest travellers. Creative director Frida Giannini has designed this white canvas suitcase with brown leather trim as a throwback to the brand's Sixties glory days when it was described as "the pinnacle of chic", and the Aga Khan's Porto Cervo jet-set sported the classic green-and-red colours with pride.

Bufa Chair

This is fly! The Bufa Chair - felt never looked so good.

As is clearly evidenced by its complex stitching and folding, the Bufa Chair by MOWOstudio is one inspired by tailored attire. This felt and stainless steel chair is a welcome entrant into the world of modern furniture. Carefully folded felt sides threaded together with a loose-hanging rope make the Bufa the first of its kind. "Puff and Pleat" are the words that inspire this chair, and both modernists and fashion designers will find it decidedly relevant.

ESPN Films 30 for 30

ESPN Films 30 for 30

I saw a few of these films thus far and I'll say for any New York Knick fan they'll have to get the Reggie flick. The Ice Cube/ L.A. Raiders film and The Birth of Big Air, I saw at Tribeca film fest and it was most defiently good films.

Created to celebrate the venerable sports network's 30 years of operation, ESPN Films 30 for 30 ($14-$18) is a collection of 30 separate documentaries chronicling thirty different sports stories, from Reggie Miller's killer instinct against the New York Knicks to a look at the connection between the Raiders and gangsta rap of south central L.A., directed by N.W.A.'s coolest member Ice Cube. Unfortunately, all 30 installments aren't available as one cohesive set, but on the brightside, that means you won't end up paying for anything you don't want.
