Regretted my hesitation in getting Gardener 10th anniversary book coz it was totally sold out within minutes!!!  Luckily, i got my hands on one of his BOX D collection signed by THE M A N. 

Totally wicked :)

Oh..He is wearing a NOOKA watch..just in case you are wondering.. :)

Spotted this when i was in Hong Kong recently. A collaboration between Bathing Ape and Chocoolate.
Chocoolate and Bathing Ape joint forces and set up 2 pop up stores in APM and a 'store in store concept' at Tsim Sha Tsui for their 3rd anniversary collaboration.The pop up store was impressive, so were the merchandise. Package include limited edition of mugs, tee+cap in colours of Blue, Green and Red.
The other Chocoolate 'store in store concept' at Tsim Sha Tsui has a series of Black and Gold collection of apparels, caps and mugs but all were sold out before i could lay my hands on some.

Well..lets look forward to the Bathing Ape store opening in Singapore and hopefully it could hype up the dull fashion scene in Singapore.

NOOKA releases the mini nookanooka

Nooka Inc. has teamed up with legendary artists and toy designers Jeremy Madl, Ilovedust, Shin Tanaka and Matthew Waldman to commemorate the release of the new mini NookaNooka. Created by Waldman, the NookaNooka is an urban vinyl collector’s toy. Not only is it made of similar materials as other Nooka products, it also represents our innovative approach to design, pushing the limits of creativity and changing the way people think about objects.

The NookaNooka’s physiology is transient, eternal in his world and ephemeral in ours - beyond imagination - like something you are told is not real, like something you can’t taste, but can feel. Jeremy Madl, ilovedust, Shin Tanaka and Matthew Waldman displayed their artistic talent by designing their own custom mini NookaNooka collabs.

Look for the mini NookaNooka to be released in November 2009.

RECAP: Juan Maclean -The Formula 'Juan' Party + NOOKA timepiece

It was a 'back to back' F1 party all over Singapore over the past week..
Glad that it happened..sad that its over..

One of the highlight besides celebrities and pop stars performances for the F1 parties is Juan Maclean's one night gig in Singapore celebrating MOET 100th anniversay and also the presence of NOOKA in Singapore.DFA club music maestro Juan MacLean has been laying groundwork. First, there were killer singles, from “By The Time I Get to Venus” in 2002, to last year’s international mega hit & critical year-end favorite “Happy House” as well as the “The Simple Life”. There was a debut full-length (Less Than Human, 2005); remixes for colleagues like Air, Chicken Lips, Daft Punk, David Gahan, Matthew Dear; international tours with Cut Copy and Shocking Pinks; and DJ gigs from Telluride to Tel Aviv.

Also making an appearance in this event is NOOKA. Nooka timepieces are renowned for their ingenuity and design, as well as the quality of the materials used. By using bold, ambitious colors to complement your sneaker collection, the goal is to Nooka-fy the way you use timepiece accessories.The Juan Maclean NookaNooka is the not-too-distant relative of Nooka's official mascot, the NookaNooka. Born from the sci-fi influences and music of DFA Records' The Juan Maclean, and Nooka's decidedly different approach to design, our little robot friend hit the road with The Juan Maclean and made appearances at selected shows.
