Josh Hayes and his new Bad Bad Religion inspired tattoo

Posted by Ray Shion On November - 30 - 2010

Visual Anarchy Films founder Josh Hayes talk about his new Bad Religion tattoo and how the band has inspired his life.

Bad Religion is one of the most influenced band that defined the 80s American punk rock scene with their social-commentary ridden lyrics and powerful punk rock riff.

Visual Anarchy Film in their own words:

Visual Anarchy was created for the Hardcore Scene. After being a cameraman and editor for 5 years, the founder Josh Hayes (an ex-cagefighter, tattoo enthusiast, and self professed punk rocker), had heard so many gripes from clients about their previous experiences with corporate style videographers and editors that he decided to start reaching out to the community.

“The goal is to let all the tattoo artists, dirtbikers, skateboarders, cagefighters, snowboarders, BMXers, rockers, etc.. know that there is a company out there that’s for them, and by them.  A company who won’t try change their ideas or screw them over financially,” Hayes says. “Our clients aren’t the kind of people who work 9-5 jobs and wear suits to work. And neither are we.”

Visual Anarchy is also committed to political and social activism.

“Working closely with non-profits and other organizations whose major mission  is to make the world a better place, is also extremely important to us and one of our primary goal.”

From Homeless Shelters to green sustainable architecture, Visual Anarchy is committed  to carving out a niche in it’s community and making a difference.

Currently Visual Anarchy is also working on it’s first feature length documentary “Bums.” You can check it out at  www.bumsthemovie.com.

FALSE: Original Anarchist Accessories

Posted by Ray Shion On November - 29 - 2010

The FALSE duo has once again push themselves one level up and continue to evolve both as a brand and idealism. Apart from their usual T-Shirt medium, we are now presented with a new line of hand-crafted leather goods which are, in their own words: “…functional hand-made genuine premium deer leather accessories and re-constructed shoes based around Anarchistic themes heavily infused with rebel inspired aesthetics.”

From re-constructed Chuck Tylors, key holder, cuff and phone and camera carriers, that’s surely an item that will be functional to someone out there.

Hard Rock Hallelujah: Promised Land Of Heavy Metal

Posted by Dalsix Höðr Visser On November - 28 - 2010

With the festive season around the corner and the year coming to an end, what better way to sign it off with a ferocious lick than the definitive media archive Promised Land Of Heavy Metal? Fans of metal music and the Scandinavian subculture, the 1.5 hour footage of significant milestones in Finnish metal covers not just typical interviews with musicians on their 2 cents worth about music, it encompasses the unique culture where heavy metal is mainstream music and the President rubbing shoulders with monster costumed rockers (more on that later)

Produced by the legendary Kimmo Kuusniemi (Sarcofagus, Kimmo Kuusniemi Band) with Tanja Katinka Karttunen (Sarcofagus) as film director, Promised Land Of Heavy Metal goes into a spiritual journey and delving into various facades that make metal music in Finland a fortress of pride including a literal metal priest (Haka Kekäläinen), model Risto Kuoppala and even the President herself, Tarja Halonen who congratulated rock band Lordi when they won the Eurovision contest much to the jubilation of the entire nation. But the music still takes precedence in the documentary as the origins of Finnish heavy metal are being traced back to the 70s where pioneering bands such as Sarcofagus, O.S.S.Y and Iron Cross ruled the roost to the modern Suomi warriors such as HIM, Lordi and Nightwish just to name a few. Yet the bridge between the two eras are not distant as the likes of Marco Hietala (Tarot & Nightwish) and Roope Latvala (Stone & Children Of Bodom) would attest both on stage and in spirit, bringing generations together and at venues such as Tuska where both young and old come together to enjoy the essence of their melodic spirits. From Hellsinki to the presidential palace, Promised Land Of Heavy Metal covers all aspects of Finnish heavy metal with a fresh perspective through the eyes of someone who knows the culture deep into the burning core. In the words of the literal metal priest Kekäläinen: I just found that this is hard rock hallelujah

Title: Promised Land Of Heavy Metal (Double Vision)
Duration: 90 minutes (plus 2 hours 45 minutes of bonus material)

CLOT x Levi’s® Nylon Dynasty 502 Rigid Jeans

Posted by admin On November - 26 - 2010


一直以來,CLOT x Levi’s® 的合作系列都獲得極大的成功。每一次獨特的設計和大膽的用料都得到空前絕後的支持和認同。今個冬天,我們再接再勵,承傳一貫的創新思維,將尼龍混合牛仔布料,推出全新Nylon Dynasty 502 Rigid牛仔褲。靈感來自美國空軍以高品質尼龍和棉緞襯裡所設計和製造的標誌性軍用外套MA 1,於紡織過程中將上了色的尼龍線混入牛仔布料,增加保暖度及耐用性。Nylon Dynasty 502 Rigid引用了其中最具代表性之一的軍綠色,只要捲起褲管,融入了軍綠色尼龍線的織紋即清析可見。
Nylon Dynasty 502 Rigid當然不可能只靠經典的色系和新穎的物料來成就其非凡。Clot同時採用了空軍製服上另一個必備的功能元素:隊伍徵章,將之應用在牛仔褲的細節設計上,進一步把我們的概念推至極致。美國空軍將這些徵章定義為“ 一塊附予製服團隊精神象徵的布料”。這意義重大的標誌,同時也對Nylon Dynasty產生了深遠的影響。CLOT x Levi’s® 將之轉化成為最具代表性的設計,吻合了品牌忠於自我特色,彰顯獨特風格的精神,希望它能成為其擁有者的個人代表物。

Nike To DESTROY is To CREATE Evolution recap

Posted by admin On November - 26 - 2010

不論在運動場內或場外,Nike Sportswear都將運動的精神完美體現。為慶祝銅鑼灣Nike Sportswear Store開業兩周年,同時體現NSW Destroyer Jacket的革命性宣言,今個11月,Nike Sportswear特別邀請兩個潮流創意單位:來自法國的創作團隊Andrea Crews及本地著名創作人朱祖兒,合作打造《To DESTROY is To CREATE Evolution》。
以藝術及文化的角度去演繹Nike長久以來對設計的熱誠,《“To DESTROY is To CREATE” Evolution》誠意邀請兩個創意單位來「破壞」再「創造」。朱祖兒將創作的焦點放在籃球的文化及風格上,透過他的雙眼及豐富的想像力,將Nike Sportswear Store店內的裝置破壞及創造,由傳統木地板籃球場變成一個超現實的空間,以一個扭曲的球場去詮繹“To Destroy is To Create”這主題,並成為場地內的主要裝置。
在朱祖兒建立的奇妙世界中,有不能錯過的法國創意團隊Andrea Crews的藝術作品。曾多次與Nike合作,Andrea Crews是一個匯聚了藝術家、時裝設計師及藝術活動的創意單位,他們擅於通過創造,讓回收的古著衣飾得以重生,變成獨一無二的藝術品,他們的設計宗旨正與Destroyer的宣言不謀而合。Andrea Crews的作品名為《The Creator》,是經破壞及重新創作後,一件擁有獨特風格、前衛造型的Andrea Crews Destroyer Jacket。
另外值得一提的是首度亮相、專為今次與Nike合作而設計的Andrea Crews角色―“Andrea Crews Destroyer”:性格獨特、身穿黑色衣著的“Andrea Crews Destroyer”,發放任何人都可以成為「破壞者」的訊息。“Andrea Crews Destroyer”亦是於活動上率先播放的動畫短片《The Destroyer Andrea Crews Paris Hong Kong 2010》的主角,於兩個城市進行拍攝,紀錄了“Andrea Crews Destroyer”由巴黎街頭徘徊到在香港尋找武器的旅途。

CLOT x Playboy Condoms Promotion

Posted by admin On November - 23 - 2010


現今社會資訊科技發達,年青人大都比以前更容易和更早接觸與性相開的訊息及資料。世界各地均有調查顯示,在大多數已發展國家城市中,青少年基於好奇及躍躍欲試的衝動,導致婚前性行為變得普遍,甚至有許多未成年的個案。由於思想未臻成熟,加上對性知識的不足,意外懷孕和性病感染的個案日增,包括愛滋病的傳播數字亦不斷上昇。作為深受年青人擁戴的知名品牌,CLOT 和 Playboy Condoms 認為我們有義務肩負起推廣安全性行為的責任,特別是眼見愈來愈多新聞關於因未成年/未婚懷孕和墜胎所引發的悲劇,CLOT 更深感責無旁貸,希望也能為社會大眾出一分力。

藉由與 Playboy Condoms 的合作,CLOT 設計了這款專為提醒你安全性行為的重要以及加強警覺意識的Tee。精心的設計並不只局限於胸前玩味十足的圖案,還有一個隱藏了Playboy Condoms 的小口袋繨在 Tee 後的右下方裡層。是要做令人後悔,甚至有可能影響自己或別人的一生的決定還是安全至上,關鍵全在於你!
