Complete with kaleidoscopic patterned button-downs, shirts and tees with colorful crochet knit details, clever preppy elephant-embroidered pants and shorts as well as woven leather cap-toe oxfords and nubuck ankle boots set ontop of vibrant contrast-colored soles, the label’s Spring/Summer offering is sure to contain at least a piece or two of interest for everyone.

Depth of Speed: A Car Show Born

Depth of Speed: A Car Show Born

Depth of Speed was born from a desire of story, travel and a love of anything automotive related. Next year my wife and I will be taking to the streets to uncover and document the greatest stories from the automotive world. From coast-to-coast and from top to bottom, finding the best stories will take the highest priority. Every time I meet someone new or attend an event I’m amazed at the depth, passion and love that the automotive world brings. Depth of Speed is just that – an in-depth look at these stories. There is something about motors and machines, that to an outsider looking in, would make us seem plain crazy.

We have begun the process of outfitting our trusty Scamp trailer to traverse the entire country. Known affectionately as a fiberglass egg, our Scamp will be our home for one year of our lives. At only 13 feet long it will make for a cozy year.

The efforts required to organize and host a car show is probably beyond what most people imagine. Josh Clason visits with Jordan Melville to see the process behind putting on a car show as Euro Sl,ut Fest recently welcomed over 400 plus custom European cars which was accompanied by T-shirts, awards and a free BBQ.

Throughout the majority of Josh Clason’s Depth of Speed series, he’s had the opportunity to feature and interview an eclectic mix of personalities largely unknown outside our circles. However, this week, a trip to California speaks with a familiar name in Fatlace‘s Mark Arcenal. Founder of brand and retailer Fatlace, Mark Arcenal’s experience outside of the automotive world has extended to the likes of Nike. We speak with Arcenal about his love of vintage cars as well as his automotive history.

RZA: The WeSC Headphone Project

Earlier this month, the RZA made his presence known in Berlin at Bread & Butter Berlin during the seasonal trade show circuit. The focal point of his appearance was to showcase his latest collaborative project involving WeSC.

We speak with RZA about his opportunity with WeSC and the whole design process of it all.
