We talked to the sytlist Simon Rasmussen about life, music and his new collaboration with KangaROOS. How would you describe the KangaROOS by Simon Rasmussen for Storm capsule collection in one sentence? Good guys wear black, bad guys wear white. What was your biggest source of inspiration for the design and campaign? I looked into the history of KangaROOS - and my main inspiration is a picture of legendary American football player Walter Payton posing in front of his new Lamborghini back in 1985. (See image gallery) The Lamborghini was given to Walter Payton by KangaROOS. Why did you ask art photographer Asger Carlsen to shoot the campaign? I have been a big fan of Asger´s work since I bought his book Wrong in 2010. And I wanted to do something cliché for the capsule collection but with a different outcome. So I asked Asger if he wanted to shoot this naked girl and a black dude in a leather track suit in front of a Lamborghini and luckily he said yes! Top 3 songs at the moment? Jay Z - fuckmewithmeyouknowIgotit. Kanye West - I am a God. Chief Kieef - Chefin Keef. Portrait image shot by Kim Reenberg

Kiss Land is the upcoming debut studio album by Canadian recording artist The Weeknd. During an interview with Complex The Weeknd described the album, saying: "Kiss Land symbolizes the tour life, but it’s a world that I created in my head. Just like House of Balloons symbolizes Toronto and my experiences there, but it’s a world that I created. When I think about Kiss Land, I think about a terrifying place. It’s a place I’ve never been to before that I’m very unfamiliar with. A lot of it is inspired by filmmakers like John Carpenter, David Cronenberg, and Ridley Scott, because they know how to capture fear. That’s what Kiss Land is to me, an environment that’s just honest fear. I don’t know who I am right now and I’m doing all these outlandish things in these settings that I’m not familiar with. To me, it’s the most terrifying thing ever. So when you hear the screams in the record and you hear all these horror references and you feel scared, listen to the music because I want you to feel what I’m feeling. Kiss Land is like a horror movie." The highly anticipated album Kiss Land from The Weeknd will release September 10th, in-store and online

In 1913, up-and-coming car manufacturer Henry Ford perfected the first large-scale assembly line. Within few years, Detroit was about to become the world capital of automobile and the cradle of modern mass-production. For the first time of history, affluence was within the reach of the mass of people. Detroit became the dazzling beacon of the American Dream. Roads, freeways and parking lots forever reshaped the landscape. At the beginning of the 50's, plants were relocated in Detroit's periphery. Highways frayed the urban fabric. Deindustrialization and segregation increased. In 1967, social tensions exploded into one of the most violent urban riots in American history. The population exodus accelerated and whole neighbourhoods began to vanish. Outdated downtown buildings emptied. Within fifty years Detroit lost more than half of its population. Detroit, industrial capital of the XXth Century, played a fundamental role shaping the modern world. The logic that created the city also destroyed it. Nowadays, unlike anywhere else, the city’s ruins are not isolated details in the urban environment. They have become a natural component of the landscape. Buy the book here

An in-depth study of form, colour and surface laid the foundation for the MYKITA / DAMIR DOMA collaboration. Inspired by the idea of translating the traditional circular frames of the intellectual avant-garde into a modern expression is how the contemporary design series with models DD01, DD02, DD03 and DD04 came into being. The collection is distinguished by a minimal aesthetic; visible construction and a progressive use of materials are recurring design elements. All frames in the collaboration are manufactured at the MYKITA HAUS in Berlin, where traditional handcraft meets modern engineering. The MYKITA / DAMIR DOMA Collection is a product incarnation for the present-day, where luxury is also state-of-the-art technology.

Moving on two wheels is now a movement. Velo is a striking visual journey into the multifaceted world of cycling and the diverse tribes that inhabit it.

The book also gives insider views into the production halls of renowned Italian and French brands as well as the workshops of a new generation of passionate frame builders in the US. Velo presents the design and visual aesthetic of today’s cycling culture. The book features examples of T-shirts, caps, bags, flyers, and special equipment such as the spoke cards that bike messengers use in their alleycat races.
