The $8,250 LV Skateboard - Stuff We Can't Afford Anyway

Filed under: Stores We Love, Style in the News

Louis Vuitton skateboard and case, part of the Stephen Sprouse CollectionLast time we checked, the economy was tanking and Louis Vuitton was forced to scrap it's ambitious plans for the new year. Then they go do something like this -- and totally redeem themselves. This $8,250 skateboard is part of the "Stephen Sprouse Collection" and it comes with a classic LV embossed case. That's what ... about $200 per kickflip?

Graffiti T-shirts

How many times have you been in a public restroom and experienced something really moving?

Wait. That didn't sound right. We're talking moving in the message. Graffiti that hits home. Sure, most of the stuff painted, inked and scratched into a bathroom stall is offensive and stupid, but there are a few gems out there. Bathroom graffiti is the new fortune cookie.

This eyewear is money

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

It's so money it doesn't even know it. Claw Money to be exact. Claw is the handle, so to speak, of an ex-graffiti artist named Claudia. She was the queen of NYC before moving to L.A. and going legit with a career in styling and costume design for music videos. Her clients included KORN, Brian McKnight, GNR and Ice Cube.

She returned to New York and did some television and print ad styling work for Nike, Guinness, and Footlocker, to name a few.

Now she writing books and designing all kinds of stuff, some of which we may show you in the future, but for now you'll have to be content with these sweet shades, the Nuggets ($300), Gazelles ($250), and Aviators ($230). Sweet shades, indeed . You know your future is so bright that you want to wear them.

The sneaker era: a comprehensive guide

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Clothing, Shoes

Long, long ago, in a borough far, far away, sneakers were not worn by yuppies, soccer moms, power walkers or office casual-types in their off-hours.

No, back then, sneakers were exclusively the domain of b-boys, streetballers, graffiti kids, breakdancers and their pals. Their domain? By and large, New York, especially in the outer boroughs.

And now you can learn all about these pre-Puma-chic years thanks to Where'd You Get Those? New York City's Sneaker Culture: 1960-1987. Author Bobbito Garcia brings it all back home, from the Adidas "Ivan Lendl" (remember him?) line to the Nike Airship to Converse All-Stars.

If you can't dig up a copy locally, Amazon.com and Powells.com are where you can find Where'd You Get Those?

Hooligan hearts Kate Moss

Filed under: Runway Trends, Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

I'll admit it; graffiti cracks me up.

A mustache? Brilliant! A pair of horns? Even better! A sexually suggestive innuendo? You've just made my day. Something clever (i.e. writing "Feed me!" next to a photo Kate Moss)? Really, you've outdone yourself.

For obvious reasons, I'm less than amused by a piece of graffiti that popped up recently on Little West 12th and Washington Street. Instead of the usual black mark defacement, some Pollyanna with a sharpie scrawled, "I [heart] Kate!" on a Calvin Klein Jeans ad.

Come on, New Yorkers?!? Couldn't you at least have blackened in her eyes while you were at it?
