VIDEO: DJ Panda Pupstep Blindfolded and Dog-Napped by Skrillex

Jessica Lapidos — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 23:52:47 +0000

Help! DJ Panda Pupstep has been captured! He’s been “blindfolded and driven to a secret location”! Could this be the same secret location Skrillex will be performing at Thursday night? Invitations with those exact no-peeking-allowed instructions for the Best New Artist Grammy nom’s show were indeed scattered across to a lucky few (Who, me??) by We Are The Superlative Conspiracy. True to their namesake’s philosophy, the headphone/skate/denim brand WeSC is planning something sneaky and totally epic. But to dognap this dubsteppin’ pupster? The horror! Sounds like Skrillex already wubbed his way into DJ Panda Pupstep’s doggy head.

If you’re ODing on the cute/badass mashup see the slightly more disturbing kidnap-related video – the original music video for the song you just heard, First Of The Year [Equinox] by Skrillex.

Tryin’ to trick your dog out like DJ Panda Pupstep?

First, the panda suit. Thank you, fine minds of Dogo. For $40, you put the Panda in Pupstep.

While these sicksta gold cans are not made by the talented headphone-making conspirators at WeSC, I got them from Karmaloop by Eskuche for $69.

DJ Panda Pupstep – CALL 911 NOW on your giant golden pop phone, $60 from Kitson or A. Turen on 85 Stanton.

Make your puppy look like Skrillex with a super long mane and a DJ Mixer by Merkury. It’s a device that plays two iPods and looks like a mini DJ-turntable, however, this machine is only meant to simulate DJ sounds with a range of reverb and flange and filter and fade effects. So basically you can take away the bass and add some heavy sounds on top of the music. You can also fade the songs into one another, but only by volume, not by speed as in a real DJ’s table. (Everything you heard in the video came directly from Skrillex.) So, for 120 bones, you can play two iPods at once and tinker with the sound.

DJ Panda Pupstep spins the tunes at the It hotspot right now, Chez Moi, 7 nights a week. Hit me for deets.

Under a Cool $25: iPhone Cassette Tape

Jessica Lapidos — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 15:30:42 +0000

So turns out all you can get these days for $25 or under is a cassette tape. Or a free FashionIndie mixtape. Luckily your headphones and/or speakers will suffice as the playing mechanisms, because goodness knows a good cassette player is getting harder and harder to come by. These iPhone covers are a conversation starter not just because you will literally be making calls on it, but because people in your vicinity will see it and immediately want to talk to you. Kind of like the Pop Phone.

If you can’t dress yourself for under $25, at least dress your iPhone. Yamamoto Industries @ Karmaloop, $25

The Dish on Thanksgiving Feast Fashion

Jessica Lapidos — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 13:50:50 +0000

Time is a-ticking closer to the one day a year when it is socially appropriate to stuff our faces and gorge our bodies with salty, buttery, meaty, buttery, delicious, salty, carbaceous foodstuffs. The spread is beautiful but the aftermath is less so; the words “bloated” and “food baby” come to mind. Which is why you need a specific kind of outfit to cope with such matters. Here are some options for hiding the tummy stretch that happens on Thanksgiving. Or make like present-day Karl Lagerfeld and his bevy of models and just smell the food…

Keep Summer Alive With Our Favorite End-of-Season Sales

Amanda Gabriele — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 19:42:01 +0000

The only positive point about summer coming to an end is the string of fabulous end-of-season sales all around the city and online. Because NYC summers usually last well into September, we’re all feeling a wardrobe refresher is needed to layer with our lighter fall pieces, just in time for Fashion Week. Now is the time to buy, but we understand the sale racks can be intimidating. Here are the FashionIndie editors’ picks for favorite end-of-season sales - we scoured the racks so you don’t have to.

Sam

Saks Fifth Avenue - Saks always gives us something to look forward to when a season is ending. This Ports 1961 dress will take you into fall, and you’ll pay $360 LESS than the original price.

Intermix - We love Intermix for basics and funky fresh staples. Everyone needs a season-less, lightweight sweater, and you can love this Joie Open Weave Sweater for $149 instead of $248.

See Jessica’s pick on page 2.

FIRST LOOK: Love Brigade Women’s A/W ’09 Collection

Hillary Frazier — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 18:30:20 +0000

Love Brigade has just released their lookbooks for Fall, and I’m SUPER excited to see all of this stuff hit stores next month. The women’s line features intricate details on basic tees and dresses, great new fabrics on their classic looks, and innovative designs that you aren’t going to find anywhere else (great job Alyssa!) I can’t wait to see those red (ish) pants with the back detailing, looks SO awesome. The book has a great story to it, and the photos (photog. Rachel Kemper) are absolutely gorgeous.

Check out the rest of the lookbook on Cult, and keep your eye open for the new line in stores (Love Brigade and Friends at 230 Grand, Redeem in Washington DC), and online (Karmaloop.com and the Love Brigade website)

SHOP: Karmaloop | Supra TK Sneaker, $$

Corey Moran — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 17:00:03 +0000

I haven’t bought a pair of sneakers in ages, but these insanely high Supra TK sneakers just might be my next pair of shoes. I was in Karmaloop the other day checking them out, and they literally come up to the middle of my shin and I’m 6′ 1″. These shoes border on being combat boots, and that is probably why I love them so much. You can order them online, so be sure to head over to Karmaloop and pick up a pair for yourself.
