BNTL @ The Cornershop

For more BNTL flavoured vibes get down to REDUX this Saturday.

Gwan Zine

My good friend Lauren Brown and her friend Sophia Sabados have put together this fantastic zine called Gwan. After months of hard work and trips to shops I wont name, they've managed to create a pretty slick and visually pleasing piece of work here.

What is Gwan zine about you ask . . . I'll let the girls inform you.

Gwan can be defined as a congratulatory term, an expression used by young people to show encouragement, admiration and approval for one another. It is an attitude. An approach to life and style that can’t go unnoticed.

Gwan is a pictorial zine that focuses on the spectacle of today’s youth in all its glory. While others follow we make up our own rules, finding inspiration in the vibrancy and energy of city living youth. We don’t allude to high fashion, instead embracing spontanaeity, experimentation and doing everything to the max.

Behind Gwan is two girls who have grown up in and around London during the nineties and noughties. We have drawn on our own experiences in the making of Gwan, leading us to recollect and take a look back at what made us who we are… Now we invite you to do the same.)

Above are a selected few images, to see the zine in full just > > > (click)
Holdtight both girls Lauren and Sophia, both young stylists from London doing there thing the right way! job well done.

Trouble

Trouble is a newcomer out of Atlanta and is making a lot of noise right now. Working with The Educated villains team he's certainly one to watch out for. The Educated Villains were responsible in part for the meteoric rise of Pill pre-MMG hook up, so they certainly know what they're doing. Decatur Dan is supplying some great visuals and for a first mixtape release Trouble's 'December 17th' is setting a lot of high standards.

Jungle hits Dalston for one night only! Saturday 4th June!

This Saturday welcomes Cool Bwoy Fyah Bredren. A one night jungle rave at the Marquis Of Lansdown. If your not familiar with the venue it's that dodgy looking pub on the corner of Arcola street, a few mins walk from Dalston Kingsland. The night is being held in the basement, home to a fat system.

Apple Ad's throughout time.

Here are a few apple ad's I stumbled across, from the early days of the brand. Pretty Nice to see how the ad's have evolved over time.

1977


1979


1981


1984


1994


1995


1996


1997


1999


2003


2006


2007


2011

Obviously a large number of ad's missing but I think theirs more than enough there to see the change.
