When the cities of Amsterdam, Zurich, Antwerp, Valencia, and Vienna decided to pool their travel promotion efforts they reached out to former advertising creatives Jonathan Rosen and Ryan O’Hara Theisen to develop a compelling video story about the Cool Capitals. Rosen and O’Hara Theisen, who met in film school before recently opening their branded content shop Lucky, created a mockumentary expose about a polyandrous jetsetter who uses men in the European cities to fulfill her appetite for fashion, culture, and nightlife. The resulting video and site is a fun excuse to play tourist if you’re stuck stateside.
There’s something very warm about that hunting lodge aesthetic. If it weren’t for the creepy stuffed animal heads, we’d be all for it. It seems that Swiss-based design studio Toifu shares both our atmospheric tastes and our disdain for taxidermy. They’ve given us a decor alternative that still allows us to champion our many could-have-been trophies in the form of wall decals of our potential prey. Now you can plaster your living room wall with everything Red Deer to Wild Boar without the animal cruely. For those poor animals it’s the definition of bargain hunting.
The rise of iPhone applications has made plenty of modern inconveniences — such as not knowing the weather in Mali while you’re at the mall in Houston, a thing of the past. The new rummble application for your favorite do-it-all device does away with yet another annoyance. Next time you find yourself in a foreign land, you’ll no longer have to haul around a knapsack with guidebooks and maps to know where to hit up. Provided you’re phone is charged up, the rummble app allows you to get a listing of local places of interest. Like your own little tourist info kiosk, rummble also provides you with directions to the hot spots accompanied by reviews and photos. We suggest downloading this feature now, so next time you find yourself abroad, you’ll feel right at home.
We’d like to think that we’ve built a little street cred for our knowledge of denim. But Tenue de Nimes is rapidly becoming the Mecca of denim — made from denim. Starting in December, not only can you buy the best jeans there, but you can also get special Japanese washing powder for your Japanese raw. The list of brands they carry is basically a who’s who in the denim world, including a few exclusive items. They’re so proud of their collection that they claim to have a pair of jeans to fit every man and woman in the world. The smartass in me wants to take the 1,000-pound man from Mexico that got married a few weeks ago to see what they do. But their point is well met. Get yourself to Amsterdam and find that perfect pair, or stay where you are and take a peak at their blog to see the progress of the store.
