art with every purchase. Known for
hallucinogenic oil portraits, San Francisco-
based artist Emilio Villalba is merging the
worlds of fine art and high fashion with an
exclusive collaboration alongside Maison
Valentino for this years Art Basel in Miami.

Garavani VSLING Bags displaying playful,
one-of-a-kind works hand-painted by Villalba
himself. Pre-Basel, we got the chance to

the collection.

Riot Games has teamed up with designer
fashion brand Louis Vuitton to create an
exclusive collection of League of
Legends apparel. You can check out the
exclusive collab on the Louis Vuitton website,
with items ranging from multiple hundreds to
thousands of dollars.
This isn't the first time Riot Games has
partnered with the fashion brand, as Louis
Vuitton skins were released in League of
Legends this past November. However,
purchasing something from the LVxLoL
collection will cost a bit more than purchasing
an in-game skin – with the most expensive
item coming in at over $5,000.

also marks the 500-year anniversary of da
Vinci’s death – The Louvre Museum has
collaborated with modern game changer Virgil
Abloh.
The new Off-White™ collection celebrates the
artist’s work in a contemporary fashion
context, bringing together two creative fields
that can sometimes seem at odds. To bring
the Louvre into your wardrobe, the collection
plays with a combination of Off-White’s
graphic branding and da Vinci’s iconic
masterpieces.
Paintings like Saint Anne and Virgin of the
Rocks appear on a range of hoodies and
shirts, along with a number of the artist’s

Olimpia Zagnoli, the Milan-based illustrator and
author has become a regular fixture in both the
art and fashion scenes. Zagnoli's signature
colorful, shape-centered drawings are hanging in
Paris exhibitions, applied floor-to-ceiling in the
first-ever Italian Uniqlo store, covering issues
of The New Yorker, printed on Prada graphic
tees. Tasked with illustrating artwork to celebrate
the legacy of the brand's cult Eight Hour Cream
— originally created by Arden herself in 1930
and a popular choice for makeup
artists throughout fashion week — Zagnoli
designed everything from the packaging to the
promotional ads.
And now, Zagnoli is lending her design expertise
to the beauty space with a new limited edition

The pro gamer puts his own spin on the brand’s
Nite Jogger silhouette. Sneaker collaborations
used to be the domain of world-class athletes.
These days, pro gamers are getting their own
shoes, too. Video game streamer Ninja teamed up
with Adidas back in August, and the brand has
finally revealed the gamer's signature sneaker.The
Ninja Nite Jogger features a mesh and leather
upper in the gamer's signature blue. The medial
sides of shoes are printed with "Ninja" and "Time
In" text graphics on top of a pattern of crossed
shurikens. Using the Nite Jogger as a base is a
weird pull; the silhouette isn't nearly as popular as
some of Adidas' other models like the NMD, Ultra
Boost or Superstar. But the Ninja fans who would
be buying these probably aren't too concerned https://www.engadget.com/2019/12/18/adidas-ninjas-sneaker-collab-dec-

Now Snap has enlisted Gucci's frequent
collaborator Harmony Korine on a short film for
Snapchat, and guess what? It stars a
skateboarding hot dog. Shot entirely on Snapchat
Spectacles (which are "smartglasses" that directly
record whatever they're seeing), the mini-movie is
a dream within a fever dream, blending Korine's
penchant for Lisa Frank rainbow parties (last
seen in Spring Breakers) with fuzzy bears,
vintage luggage, and Miami Beach lifeguards. It is
called Duck Duck and there are no ducks...
though Bergdorf Goodman does have a
Gucci mallard print blouse available now.
For those equally interested in fashion and film
theory, good news: Mr. Korine called us to
discuss the Spectacles x Gucci project, which
naturally has a social media component—there's
a Snapchat filter where you can "try on" the
glasses yourself.

reach one billion loops with her own brand of
comedy. Now the internet star has entered the

across social platforms, and, most recently,

Ford has produced a new way to make parts, and
they've collaborated with McDonalds to help them
out. McDonald's throws out millions of kilograms
worth of coffee chaff (or grounds), which is the
dry skin of the bean. Instead of throwing it out,
McDonald's will be providing Ford with the chaffs
and they will make parts out of that.
Ford will be mixing the chaffs with plastic then
melt it down, mold it, then install the parts on the
car. That way, Ford uses less plastic materials
and, at the same time, do their part in recycling
and reducing waste. Ford even claims that the
coffee-plastic material is actually more durable
and heat resistant than conventional plastic
moldings. It's also lighter too, which helps keep
the cars from ballooning to heavy curb weights.

What exactly does a SpongeBob gallery pop-
up installation look like? Especially when it

J.Balvin. De Guzman says there was a mutual

year, closing out 2019 is one of the more

Popular chain Yoshinoya is proudly
celebrating its 120th year in the beef-bowl
business this year and have decided to close
it out with an interesting partnership with
the Pokemon franchise. Starting Dec 19,
customers across Japan will be able to order a
new type of beef-bowl: The Pokemori.
Pokemori comes in three varieties — Gyudon,
Kid’s Gyudon, and Curry Rice — all for less
than 500 yen, which includes a juice box and
Pokemon figure. By the way, gyudon is the
Japanese word for beef bowl, so in honor of
this magnificent piece of Japanese cuisine, six
Pokemon with “don” in their Japanese name
were selected for use as figures in this
campaign.
