Japanese brand Swagger once again gets together this season with The North Face to produce two technical jackets.

Barack Obama is taking his barber of 14 years with him to The White House!
This is one of my old clients from Chicago, Johnny. He's Mrs. Michelle Obama's hairstylist. I was surprised when I ran into him @ The Democratic National Convention and found out that he was the person keeping The First Lady's hair so fresh. Johnny is actually the person who schooled me on how this business works on the level that we're on. He told me about getting an agent, setting my day rate, editorial fees etc... Thanks homie!

My "style" side says "YES!!!"
Taking a cheap, $40, regular shoe that's made to be torn to pieces, and making it a pretentious luxury item is a little weird and oxymoron-ish to me...

Canada Goose is famous for their unmatched quality in their line of cold-weather, outerwear garments. This is the Snow Mantra Parka that has been reviewed as "The best, bar none." I wear this parka everyday while we're on tour in Europe. My boy Don C. has even nick-named it "THE COAT".
Bergdorf Goodman gets the exclusive on this blazing red Expedition Parka from Canada Goose. You can get warm inside this parka using the Arctic-Tech technology on the exterior shell for ultimate wind protection and comes fitted with a tunnel hood lined with coyote fur to secure the skull from tundra freeze. You will not be cold in this one.
