Pioneering tattoo studio and Kanye West’s favourite, Sang Bleu, have partnered with iconic watch label Hublot to produce a highly distinctive and stand out timepiece — The Big Bang Sang Bleu. Using geometric shapes and intricate pattern work, the unorthodox watch design takes inspiration from Leonardo Di Vinci’s Vitruvian Man in its meticulous use of lines and symmetry. However the most interesting feature is the unusual way the watch face tells the time, replacing the traditional watch hands with three discs that each represent a different unit of time.
Limited to only 200 pieces, the Big Bang Sang Bleu is made with solid Titanium with a black calfskin strap. Scroll through the gallery above and get your hands on one from the Hublot web store.
Since its founding back in 2013, Grailed has grown to become a key part of the streetwear industry, with roughly 200,000 new items going on sale every month. The site’s founder, Arun Gupta, has now launched a new womenswear platform named Heroine.
Similarly to Grailed, the new site will mix commerce with content, but will also position its self as a community-driven platform hosting networking events and encouraging interaction between its users. Speaking to Business of Fashion about the site, Heroine brand director Kristen Dempsey explained that “The people who are behind Heroine are just as nerdy and specific about clothing as our community — folks can use it as a space to exchange ideas with other enthusiasts and discuss items of clothing or written articles.”
Heroine is live now, with over 2,000 listings including pieces of vintage Maison Margiela and Off-White™ x Levi’s. For more from Grailed, check out what Jerry Lorenzo had to say about his recent sale through the site.
After a month filled with elusive video and photo teasers, Yashica has finally taken the wraps off its anticipated “Unprecedented” camera. The Y35 is a hybrid device that captures digital images using “pretend” rolls of film, as per the company in a statement—officially labeling it as a “digiFilm” camera.
For specs, the small shooter boasts a 35mm f/2.8 glass lens alongside a 1/3.2-inch CMOS sensor that is capable of emitting 14-megapixel images. Additionally, the device touts a built-in viewfinder, a shallow depth of field of about three-feet, five shutter speeds (1s, 1/30s, 1/60s, 1/250s, 1/500s), a micro USB port, a tripod mount, a battery port to house a pair of AA batteries, and an automatic setting that helps users find the right exposure.
Each roll has distinct ISO and aspect ratios. As with traditional film practices, photographers will need to manually exchange each roll after use. Not to mention, it takes a while for the camera to kickstart after the roll has been swapped. Why the hassle? Well, Yashica expressed that “it grants us time to inspire and think, the exact moment the shutter snaps.” Having added that “there will be 4 different digiFilm rolls at launch: ISO 1600 High Speed, Black & White (ISO 400), ISO 200 Ultra Fine (standard color photos), and 120 Format.”
Yashica has created a Kickstarter page for the Y35. Those who pledge approximately $150 USD will receive the camera alongside four unique digiFilm rolls. Shipping is slated to commence sometime in April 2018.
