Prada Candy

After co-writing Moonrise Kingdom together, Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola have teamed up with Prada to direct a modern-day interpretation of Jules et Jim. And while I would have loved to see Jeanne Moreau reprise her role as Catherine, French actress Léa Seydoux does just fine as Candy, alongside Rodolphe Pauly (Julius) and Peter Gadiot (Gene). While the three short stories come together nicely in Prada Candy to the tunes of France Gall and Jacques Dutronc, it just makes you wonder what life would have been like had Anderson and Coppola been alive at the onset of the Nouvelle Vague movement. Well, at least we now have this.

Prada Candy L’Eau is available now at select retailers worldwide.

Harsky x Nice Kicks Capsule Collection

While he might not be an avid collector, Robb Harskamp‘s love of basketball fuels his passion for sneakers. So it only made sense that the new Austin resident connected with Nice Kicks for his inaugural SXSW experience. Together, the two have collaborated on The Takeover, an art exhibit and capsule collection that includes limited edition t-shirts, pins, koozies and stickers.

“The mid-’80s through mid-’90s were huge when I think about basketball shoes and culture,” says Harskamp. “That’s where the ideas for The Takeover came from. It truly was a collaborative effort between Nice Kicks and myself as far as picking which shoes to feature, and what sort of pieces we could do for the event.”

If you’re in town, be sure to check out the opening tomorrow to be among the first to see the exhibit and cop some gear before it’s gone. Nice Kicks is located at 2815 Guadalupe Street in Austin.

Preview: Parra at Jonathan LeVine Gallery

Aron Phillips — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 17:00:46 +0000

After releasing two collaborative projects last week, Parra finds himself back in the States this month for a new solo exhibition. Tracy Had a Hard Sunday, on view from February 23 through March 23, features a series of new works on canvas, paper and ceramic at the Jonathan LeVine Gallery. The canvases, painted in shades of reds and blues, feature a recurring motif of stars and stripes. The studies for the paintings, created in ink on paper, reinforce the graphic quality of his compositions in unbelievable black-and-white simplicity. And the sculptures epitomize his ability to translate subjects into three-dimensional form. If you’re in town, be sure to check out the opening reception on the 23rd from 7-9 p.m. to be among the first to see the exhibit. Jonathan LeVine Gallery is located at 529 West 20th Street in New York.

Will Ferrell’s Old Milwaukee Super Bowl Commercial

Aron Phillips — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 17:00:49 +0000

If you thought last year’s Old Milwaukee Super Bowl commercial was awesome, Will Ferrell decided to take things to a whole new level in 2013. But just like last year, chances are you never saw it on TV. So if you don’t live in the great American towns of Ardmore, Oklahoma, Glendive, Montana or Sherman, Texas – the only three markets that aired the 60-second spot Sunday night – sit back and enjoy. Be jealous, Bar Refaeli. Be jealous.
