The Warriors

 

In 1979 director Walter Hill created a film about a gang called The Warriors, meant to be one of the cultest films of twentieth century. Based on Sol Yurick’s 1965 novel, the film tells the story of a New York City gang, whose members are trying to stay alive after a gang gathering that ends up to king’s tragic death.. The film features the best and most inspiring costumes among the gangs, all with cheesy names like The Hi -Hats, Hurricanes, Electric Eliminators, Satans Mothers, Gladiators and more. If you haven’t seen it yet, just don’t miss it.

Born Sleepy by J.W. Anderson

J.W. Anderson's menswear collection for next fall is called Born Sleepy, and has big retro vibe with amazing knits, graphic prints, flared pants made out of tech materials and a bright colour palette.
I just love the brand's spooky, ironic campaign, shot by Alex Sainsbury, featuring model Oliver Greenall from Elite London.

The Empire of Death

For three years Dr Paul Koudounaris, a specialist in Baroque culture and lector at major universities in Los Angeles, travelled the world to document various religious shrines decorated with human bones, crypts and remains from the sixteenth and seventienth centuries.

He visited about seventy different glorious locations in four continents, most of them not open to public and never been photographed before. All these amazing images that offered various unusual experiences to the author, the attendance of an exorcism, the attack of a monk and his arrest by the Austrian police among them, are gathered in his latest book titled The Empire of Death, published by Thames & Hudson. In 224 pages, the richly illustrated edition uncovers a full essay on architecture masterpieces, impressive chandeliers made by human bones and jewel-encrusted mummies, during an era that death was not considered a taboo.
