The Standard Relay: Los Angeles Bicycle Superhighway, LouFest 2013, Secret Forts visits ICA Boston, and Adobe Creative Cloud.

Posted on May 6, 2013

Los Angeles Bicycle Superhighway This should have happened already… I’ve been saying it forever, we need something exactly like this here in LA. Granted, my idea involves high-speed conveyor belts and a sorting system for people who are really good at riding bikes vs. people who actually don’t know how to ride one. A bicycle superhighway that connects portions of Los Angeles once almost actually happened. Found this via A Continuous Lean, though the original article is published on Vice. LouFest 2013 Cool shit from my hometown Look, I’m not a big festival go-er. There was a time and place where I went to Lollapalooza every year for a few years but those years are long gone. No festival until now has tempted me…

Juniper Ridge Soaps You know you want them… I bet these things smell incredible. I seriously bet they do. Well Spent really thinks so, too. We haven’t smelled them yet but holy mackerel that packaging is good. Check ‘em out. Muji Expanding Operations Finally. Holy hell… Muji, the famed Japanese company making amazing affordable home/office/lifestyle products without a brand attached, is finally opening in Los Angeles this fall (via Dwell Online). A Guide to WordPress Theme Development They’ve been good to us… WordPress has been really great to us. We’re featured on our themes promo page which makes us feel pretty special. Here’s a guide to developing a theme, improving your theme, or whatever you want to draw out of it. This can only make…

The Standard Relay: Tenue de Nîmes, Papafoxtrot, Whiskies of the World, A Vest Comparison, & The Joinery NYC.

Posted on October 30, 2012

Tenue de Nîmes 2nd Store Located in Haarlemmerstraat, Amsterdam Not only is Haarlemmerstraat the only word you’ve ever heard of with 4 “A’s” paired into sets of two, but it’s probably a word you’ve never heard of before reading this. Unless you’ve been to Amsterdam. The ever-prolific shop Tenue de Nîmes has opened their second shop in Amsterdam and it looks beautiful. Click through to see several more photos of the shop (via Another Something & Co.). Papafoxtrot’s Space Fleet Keeping your mind soaring whilst chained to your desk I’ve never heard of a company name like Papafoxtrot before and frankly it sounds kind of creepy; no matter, they make some awesome replicas of unmanned spacecrafts using extremely high quality materials. I highly recommend,…

The Standard Relay: The Hill-Side AW’12, Copper at London’s Design Festival, The American Classic’s Instagram, & more.

Posted on September 27, 2012

Copper at London’s Design Festival Mighty. Pretty. Copper is a beautiful thing. It’s got the whole package going for it; it maintains value, it looks great right out of the box, it looks even cooler with time as it oxidizes, and all things considered it’s fairly durable. Apparently there was a ton of it to be found at the recent London Design Festival. There’s some great pictures over at Cool Hunting; I recommend you take a look. Michigan’s Manitou Island Wreck A Good Read if You Have Time Gear Patrol published a pretty great story about a shipwreck in Michigan. You should check it out. The Hill-Side A/W’12 LB They’re Back. The Hill-Side has put out their A/W’12 lookbook as shot by their friends…

The Standard Relay: Lookbooks from Beauty & Youth, Private White V.C, Happy Socks, Lifetime Collective, & Aether Apparel

Posted on August 30, 2012

After a bit of a hiatus The Standard Relay is back and just in time for lookbooks dropping like flies. Wait…Anyway, here’s a roundup of lookbooks and other good stuff that’s been coming out this week. And last week, too. Beauty & Youth United Arrows F/W ’12 Lookbook There’s not much here that really showcases clothing but the shoot looks like it was fun as hell. Click through for some highly stylized debauchery (via Selectism). Private White V.C. F/W ’12 Lookbook A somewhat somber and serious looking shoot, the clothes look great and make me wish I still had a cold winter as a future here in Los Angeles. The clothes remind me of a mix between something I’d see from midwestern laborers and…
