The cardigan has always lived in a space between utility and statement. Long before it was reimagined in grunge scenes, haute ateliers, and contemporary streetwear rotations, the silhouette carried an association with gentility and leisure. Today, that perception has shifted. Brands like Paper Planes—co-founded by Emory Jones with the creative orbit of Roc Nation and […]
Tommy Lennartsson’s Radical Affirmation
Art, at its most compelling, is not always subtle. Sometimes it is a bold declaration, a sharp incision into the viewer’s attention, demanding to be heard and felt rather than politely observed. Swedish painter Tommy Lennartsson’s acrylic on canvas work I’m Fuckin Special embodies this exact ethos. Painted in urgent strokes of green against a […]

From Mic to Midfield: How Roc Nation Transitioned Into Football With a Jay-Z State of Mind
When Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter founded Roc Nation in 2008, it was envisioned as more than a music management company. It was a cultural hub, a hybrid of entertainment, branding, and lifestyle.

In shoe culture, some models fade into obscurity while others resurface with greater resonance decades later. The Nike Air Terra Humara falls squarely in the latter camp.

NO PARKING: Alfonso Gonzalez Jr. at Matthew Brown Gallery
Los Angeles is inseparable from the car. Unlike cities where trains or subways orchestrate urban life, LA sprawls outward on the rhythm of asphalt and exhaust. Vehicles here are more than transit—they are metaphors of class, labor, and identity. Alfonso Gonzalez Jr., in his second solo exhibition with Matthew Brown Gallery, takes this truth and […]
