A French brand created by friends, LES (ART)ISTS made its first splash with a range of tees that were equal parts high-fashion parody and homage to one’s favorite designers. Now, the label returns bigger and bolder than ever with a new collection of graphic-driven woven shirts for Spring/Summer 2014. In either red plaid flannel or baseball-style oxford options, the designs feature the names and years of birth of designers or artists on the back of each garment, resulting in playful homages to some of the biggest names in the business.

“As long as your honest with a woman, you should be able to do what you want to do… If you want to cheat, cheat…” <<< the viewpoint of Vawn from the BRAVO show New Atlanta and the backlash:

Erica’s Response: eleeneal@lerockbox Super late; but I’m going to throw this in anyway. Regarding women and status: We have been told that men are *things* to catch, keep and train. This turns attaining and maintaining a relationship into a high-stakes sport. When people (men & women) treat each other like a person to meet, discover and grow with… Competition (pressure), status and all the crap goes out the window. What’s left is room for healthy/positive relationships to take root. #twocents #twosense

Download Here are some of the topics that we covered:
1) Trayvon Martin: How did you feel about the verdict? What did you think about the criticism of Rachel Jentel (spelling)? What do you think of George Zimmermand and the state of race in America?
2) What about Trayvon being portrayed as a “menace/thug” vs miley or justin beiber just “exploring their character range” or “having fun”?
3) What are your thoughts on artists that have made it cool to disguise laziness in their work for “the next hot IT thing”? (Ie Kanye & crew or Miley Cyrus' “ratchet” persona)
- Purposeful to show the follower mentality: “I could stand here in a speedo and look like a fucking hero…”
4) Does the arrogance in artist/fighters/athletes attract you as fans or repel you?
5) Me Me Me Generation (time article: http://aflv.org/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=9oRpYJDnhCw%3D ) what's the difference between the last couple of generations (baby boom, x)
6) Is Social Media the “New” resume/portfolio?
7) Is Cuffin Season real? How do we know it exists? How to tell you're only in a “temporary/convenient” relationship.
- Should a female in a new relationship situation question their partner “where is this all going?” Or should she go along with the flow?

Jean-Michel Basquiat may have died at age 27, but the Brooklyn-born artist remains one of the most original of his generation and an acutely relevant figure some 25 years after his passing. Following an exhibition of his work in Chelsea earlier this year, Gagosian Gallery is playing host to a selection of Basquiat’s paintings for the first time in Hong Kong. The artist was born in 1960 to a Haitian father and Puerto Rican mother and left his Brooklyn, New York home at the age of 15. Taking to the streets, he began a tragically short career that started with graffiti scrawled on downtown Manhattan walls — usually under the name of SAMO — and culminated in solo shows in galleries around the world. Basquiat’s work, meanwhile, earned praise and critical acclaim for its fusion of drawing, painting and poetry and its ability to balance aesthetics with acerbic commentary on the harsh realities of race, culture and society. Here’s a look at the Jean-Michel Basquiat exhibition at Gagosian Hong Kong, which began on May 21 and will run until August 10; browse the images above for a peek or drop by the address below should you be in the area.
