New York - Built By Wendy

What happened to Wendy Mullin ? After she did that nautical line where a Thin Lizzy cover band played the launch and everyone was wearing those ropey bracelets, she got a call from Wrangler asking her to design their next line. She emailed us a brief text that simply said, “I might rich” and then fell of the face of the earth.

Sydney – Fashion Weak

Dear VICE,
I went to a couple of shows at Sydney Fashion Week a while ago — it’s a pretty good time to be in the city if you can somehow tolerate all the bullshit that goes along with it. There were actually some pretty good shows… Anyway, I had pretty much forgotten all about it and was deleting the old pictures from my camera when I came across this shot that I took of some ladies in the front row at one of the parades. I guess this is like the cranial equivalent of coming out of the bathroom with your skirt tucked into your underpants.
Best,
TS

NEW YORK - BETTER RED THAN DEAD

Remember a couple weeks ago when we said that adidas was making a sneaker and a jacket for VICE? We just found out they're coming out on May 20th. The sneaker is white denim with pink trim the same color as our headlines in the magazine, and the jacket is white with pink and black trim too. They're part of this big adidas thing called 'adicolor' that has like 85 parts, including a bunch of films about colors. Roman Coppola made the one about red, and it's the best one so far. It's like a combination of South Park and that End of the World website from a couple years ago. Watch. It's the one with the Japanese Crazies (above). The other videos are also about colors - except for the big one, which is about the VICE stuff.

NEW ZEALAND - BUFFALO STANCE G SHOT

Friday night produced one of the best G shots I've ever seen. What the hell is wrong with girls who wear these things? French panties or don't bother leaving the house please. As you can see we dished out a heads up in the form of a minor cigarette burn to buttock area then quickly escaped to the dance floor to raise our hands and sing "Fly Till I Die" and spill vodka everywhere.
Saving the world one person at a time.

VICE/ADICOLOR

Since everyone around the VICE office wears desert boots or brogues (or heels, for the ladies), we were a little surprised when adidas asked us to design a pair of sneakers for them and their adicolor line. But, fuck it - we did it. We used the logo for our pub in London (The Old Blue Last) for the graphics, and had the shoe made out of white denim, with VICE Pink (the color of our headlines in the mag) for the sole. Then we got adidas to make us a white denim jacket with the pub's logo embroidered really big on the back, so that you can see what a genius Jeneleen Capper is (she designed the logo).

Here's an interview with Gavin, explaining the idea behind the shoe and jacket - plus there's a link to a video adidas had done, with Jenna Jameson in it. The whole thing is coming out in May in Europe, Asia and Australia and is perfect for summer. Except in Australia, where it's perfect for winter.

DENIM HOTPANTS

Can everyone please stop sending us this guy for the DON'Ts. We got it. He's not sexy. We have received this photo at least a hundred times so far.

Please stop.

We're starting to like it.

SCANDINAVIA - FOOD FIGHT

Elin Unnes of VICE Scandinavia loves cake and we love her because anyone who doesn’t think a "food fight fashion shoot" would erupt into a real live food fight is alright by us. Love rolling in food with girls? Why, yes, thanks for asking.
