Paul Mittleman是Adidas Original的全球設計總監，在還未加盟Adidas之前，他在Stussy工作了二十個年頭。來自紐約的他，見證了從1980年代開始運動品牌影響街頭文化，及到今日又怎樣影響著高級時裝的歲月，他可說是collaboration(品牌與品牌之間的計劃)的先鋒，在街牌界中有著一定的影響力。早前他去到上海出席當地的一個大型街頭品牌活動， 我們籍著這個機會與他做了一個訪問。
Street Cred? All hail. Paul Mittleman hasn’t just been holding down the spot for streetwear; he might have damn near pioneered the genre. Paul goes back to the early days of Stussy. One of the first recruits to the legendary brand that birthed so many others. The native New Yorker has moved on up, and sideways, and now sits with the illustrious title of, ‘Global Design Director’, for the behemoth that is Adidas. Adidas Originals to be exact. So you know they’ve tapped him for his savvy in the game. We had a chance to sit down with the self-proclaimed, ‘inventor of the collaboration’, himself, and go through a bit of streetwear anthology with a fella that was involved with it from the giddy-up.

SPITGAN – 可否說說你的背景。
PAUL MITTLEMAN – 在Adidas Original之前，我曾是Stussy的創意總監， 在那裡工作已有二十年，我可以說是首幾位發明了Collaboration的人。我之前沒有想過會成為Adidas的全球設計總監，所有事情都是很自然發生的，對我來說每天的工作都是一種挑戰。
食物// JAPANESE SUSHI
September 24, 2013 By Leave a Comment
藝術品真的是無處不在，不論在街上、身上等都存在，現在連食物變成藝術品。日本壽司藝術家Takayo Kiyota想到將壽司變成藝術品，利用不同顏色的食物材料化身顏料，仿如在白白的飯上畫畫一樣，造成不同的圖案，如臉書上的讚好圖案、名畫「吶喊」、美人魚等，十分有趣。那如果將這些壽司吃掉的話，那會是什麼味道呢?那食美人魚和「吶喊」等圖案時，那感覺又時什麼呢?
Mmmm…sushi! could go for some right now! This gentleman, Takayo Kiyota clearly has not grown beyond playing with his food, or perhaps has come full circle to it. Look at this artistic futomaki! Full of fun, are there any limits to the subject matter? A true sushi artiste, better than half the new art I’ve seen at exhibitions. Good on ya. What will be version 2.0?

Kenzo憑著一件老虎衛衣在2012年大行其道，近幾年開始亦進攻high street fashion,而老虎先生差不多變成它的代言人。 看到今季13秋冬Kenzo與美國棒球帽New Era的聯名系列，相信大家都急不及待想擁有它。這系列中有5種不同的圖案-FLYING TIGER”, ”DAY CLOUDS” ”TIGER HEADS”、”NIGHT CLOUDS” 和”FLOWERS” 。今次不但有經典老虎圖案，還加入不大自然元素，讓喜歡玩圖案及顏色的Kenzo豐富先來，就如他們替老虎先生打造一個Kenzo世界!
You feeling the KENZO right? Ever since ‘dem Opening Ceremony cats took over things have been looking up! Can they do no wrong? On display the Kenzo Tiger motif. Supposedly this is the house insignia, so act like you know. Pro-fit ‘cloud’ hat? I dig your crazy. Always current, with a finger on the pulse of our desires. Keep on!
