Menswear Award Nominee Public School unveiled their one-of-a-kind Kink BMX bicycle designed for The CFDA Swarovski Award Collection. Designers Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne crystallized the entire bicycle frame with over 7,000 “Jet” black Swarovski Elements crystals. The bike retails for $2,500 at NYC boutique Fivestory.
Nine designers, including Public School, nominated for the 2013 CFDA Swarovski Awards were invited to create an original “objets d’art” utilizing Swarovski Elements crystals. Beginning May 21, each exclusive creation will be displayed and available for sale at Fivestory. Proceeds will benefit Free Arts NYC, a non-profit organization that provides under-served children and families with a combination of arts and mentoring programs geared towards boosting self-confidence and resilience.
The guys from Public School are always up to something awesome. Keep up with them on facebook for the latest.

Need a vacation? Take a digital one with GUESS and their spring 2013 ad campaign. They’re bringing mint green jeans back on the scene with a pair of very fresh overdyed cut-off shorts. Shot in Bora Bora, the campaign features Gigi Hadid and Stephan Lambert in P-A-R-A-D-I-S-E. They sprinkled their brand with a bit of bohemian style this time around. We’re digging it.

Wrangler is releasing jeans that will take one step out of your morning beauty routine, provided you’re stepping into a pair of them. They’re moisturizing jeans, which, in theory, means smoother gams and happier you. Aptly named Denim Spa, they promise anti-cellulite components and moisturizers from natural elements like apricot kernel oil, rosehip oil, and passion fruit oil. Too good to be true? We’ll have to wait and see.
“The jeans—which will retail for $135 and be sold on ASOS—come in three different “finishes:” Aloe Vera, Olive Extract, and Smooth Legs (the supposed cellulite-fighter), but there is one caveat: The effects of the ingredients only last up to 15 days (around 67-95 wears), but a reloading spray will also available to buy.” (Stylecaster)
