SHOT TO DEF: L.A.S.

All Nude Everything
I don't get very excited about LookBooks these days. Even though ATG is somewhat lumped into this whole menswear/style/fashion/nonsense world, you'd be hard-pressed to find too much of it here on a regular basis (I'll leave that to fellas like Michael and Lawrence). That being said, I did find myself getting excited over the new Nudie lookbook. Yup, Nudie, as in Swedish denim we've all come to love, hate, care about or forget. As a company they're nothing new, but as a line, they seem to really be finding a groove with their '11 Fall/Winter collection.
The best part of the line might just be their introduction of the slim khaki program. I've been wearing Nudie since Traffic, in LA, was the only shop on the west coast carrying them -- back when the Slim Jims were the tightest things I could ever picture myself wearing (the start of a slippery slope). I still have a few pairs in heavy rotation. Check the brand out if you haven't in a while. It's not for everyone, with your double monks and tailored Cucinelli blazers, but for the everyday-easy-clean-fitted, it's looking more the part. A few highlight-teasers after the jump
More of this...

17 Bucks Will Only Get You So Far
I get that I'm about 3 years too late on this one, but hey, this isn't CNN. While roaming the hills of LA with my buddy, Jake this week, we found ourselves in Union on La Brea and I found myself silently admiring the genius on the wall. The large posters were blow-ups from artist, Jayson Scott Musson's book, 'Too Black For Bet.' Do yourself a favor and get to Union to pick up a copy for yourself. Might just be some of the best 17 dollars you'll ever spend.

America's Favorite
Consider this a teaser (as in, you'll be seeing more of these guys here soon). A few shots from a new San Diego-based line, Favorite Pastime. The line is limited but concise, just what we simple folk like. Brainchild of Mat Crossan, the idea was to create a line inspired by the care-free days of skating and hopping curbs till the street lights came on, but updated for those of us who are old enough to not be called for dinner. Easy, simple and relaxed, but with enough details to keep us interested.

Across The Desk
I get a few things flung across my desk here in the 34th floor offices of ATG, most of which falls to the wayside (thanks to all you PR firms who pay no attention to your email lists and push women's bathing suit lines on me). BUT, every now and again, a few things come across that actually make sense. The two most recent of those being customizable bicycles from Milan by Cicli Maestro and hand made bags from Winter Session out of Chi-City. Keep up the good work, PR firms, and keep sending those emails with subject lines in ALL CAPS... I swear it works.

Shot To Def: Diz Gibran & Moonshine
A few images from a shoot I did last week with Diz and Moon, a couple of LA's finest. Not only do they make some of the freshest music this side of 1996, but they do it all with a smile and a middle finger -- like a backhanded compliment you end up saying "thank you" to. Check out their 2009 release here, google their new leaks from earlier in the month, and add them to your summertime playlist.

Well Endeavored
Did anyone else get on Vimeo today and see this? Pretty amazing. Props to NASA for getting a little trick and putting this together. And just think, one day, THE MOON!!!!

Behind The Curtain
My good friend and very talented photographer, Andy J. Scott came down and shot some behind the scenes photos and video of a shoot I had for Pacific Sunwear last week in Venice Beach. A few minor incidents aside, we had one hell of a day and very much look forward to the window displays in all of the PacSuns come July.
Although I despise seeing pictures of myself, let alone video, Andy did such a damn fine job I figured I'd put them up for all to see. Here I am not posting for over a week, and when I finally do, it's of pictures of myself... what has become of ATG?!?! YOU'VE CHANGED, MAN! Check out Andy's site for more of his portraits, he does some great stuff including his ongoing portraits series of local LA rappers.
