Yes yes ya’ll. You’ve seen the slick visuals for the Juun.J X Josh Luke ads, now check the pieces. A staples range of streetwear here with the added finesse of Juun.J’s cutting and fabric selection, which is to say, ‘upper echelon’ indeed. With the added Josh Luke graphics, the pieces really take flight. Mostly typography and slogans, the color blocking and positionings are ill. Be forewarned. There are some dope details we have not been able to show due to the limited press materials recieved, but trust us, there are goodie graphics on the backs etc. If you have a chance to check the actual pieces, do. Own some of the flyness too, cuz I know ya feel.
放音樂/MUSIC IS PLAYING. BY FINE ARTIST, TAKEO HANAZAWA.
今個月有來自日本的藝術家Takeo Hanazawa我們挑選了15首他喜愛的歌曲作品。這位深受街頭文化及音樂影響的年輕藝術家,其作品風格幽默而充滿玩味,雖然有時甚至會予人不正經的感覺,但作品背後卻其實蘊含了深厚的街頭文化精髓。他的作品都是一些充滿力量的語言,就像他喜愛的音樂般,觸動人心。
他的代理公司為www.galleryside2.net // Spitgan與他做了一個專訪,在即將出版的第三期刊出,大家密切留意。
Get on down, Takeo! This month we are blessed with musical selections from the young and talented Japanese artist, Takeo Hanazawa! Takeo wears his musical influences on his sleeve. Google his paintings, sculptures, and artwork titles! We at SPITGAN dig his whimsical, irreverent style. Don’t write off the man’s work as all play, there are serious messages embedded within the pop culture references. These speak powerfully, like the music that inspires him. One.

Francesco Tristano – Long Walk
真/CURIOSO : UNDER ICE SPACE ROVER
Exactly as the title says : Under Ice Space Rover!
新词/WORD UP : CHECKPOINT ARMY
Checkpoint Army
Exactly how it reads. “A force that is adept at checking identification but not at taking the fight to its enemy.”

閒聊/IN DIRECT CONVERSATION. JESUS ECHEVARRIA, CCO OF INDITEX GROUP (ZARA)
SPITGAN – What is a Zara?
Jesus – We originally wanted to call it Zorba, after Zorba the Greek, but there was a bar in the same town with the same name. When the owner of the bar found out, he approached us and asked us to change the name as he had used it first. As we had already printed the sign/logo, we were trying to figure out different combinations that would work. Zora wouldn’t do, as it was very close to a coarse name for a woman in Spanish; then we figured out it should be called Zara.
