Carhartt WIP present the fifth installment of their popular Sound of Detroit Series. The latest collaboration is with Detroit's iconic Starta Records, the short lived Jazz, Funk and fusion label from the late 60's and early 70's. Starta Records was formed in the wake of the Detroit riots of 67' and 68' as a cathartic reaction, to educate and create awareness. Formed and run by artists it was established in an art gallery come-live venue and started the first university Jazz music program. The short lived label was only responsible for the release of 10 records in it's time. When DJ Amir Abdullah, one half of DJ duo Kon & Amir , was commissioned in 2010 to create a lost youth exhibit for a Detroit online museum he choose to appraise Strata.

Sometimes the best looks are the simplest and in this week's look the devil is certainly in the detail. By utilising classic loose silhouettes and a monogram colour palette we have let the detailing do the talking.

Shown here in white with contrasting black detailing it features an awesome flaming graphic logo on the front chest and more prominently across the back. The t-shirt is finished off with Carhartt's iconic logo tab. We have selected the regular fit straight legged Skill Pant, also from Carhartt , as the wider cut fits in well with the skateresque aesthetic and a straighter leg allows for a turn up to showoff your shoes and socks for modern twist. Sticking with the skater vibe we have chosen the iconic Janoski from Nike SB in classic black. More or less a skatable boat shoe, Stefan Janoski's Nike SB remains stubbornly popular thanks to a evidently w...

Celebrating the release of Vancouver classics 'Final Bounce' & 'Marine Drive' on All Caps Records  Region Free the latest in Bi-Monthly Clubbing eperience created by The All Caps Family will be taking place at The Art School tonight. "It's been said that the day unravels what the night has woven so that each morning, we hold in our hands a few fringes of the tapestry of a lived life. The act of remembering is more like forgetting. For it is only when a memory is recalled that the fragile and forgotten quality of memories are revealed. We go about life weaving fragments together, fragments of ourselves we find staring back at us as we remember conversations, smells and quality of light. Alas, the sun rises today no different than in the summer of 1989. Lamenting the passage of time as experienced solely through recorded media begs the question - is there such a thing as second hand nostalgia?" Tickets will be available at the door for...

We are loving this brand new silhouette to Fat Buddha Store the Nike Air Safari Deconstruct. One of the sleekest aesthetics we've seen in a while, this shoe is constructed from a mixture of materials including; suede, mesh and leather. The premium suede can be found the length of the uppers with complimentary lighter suede at the toe box and heel. Mesh can be found at the front for breathability while leather overlays above the midsole add a premium feel. Use of a muted icy grey colour palette ensures a minimalist look which stops the variety of materials from becoming overpowering. Perforated swoosh branding adorns the sides for a streamlined look. A hint of muted teal can be found on the outsole while the midsole is crisp white. Tonal laces and inner liner complete the look. This latest edition of the Nike Air Safari Deconstruct in Lunar Grey/Tumbled Grey/Teal will be available in store later today and will online at Fat Buddha Store shortly.
