It’s Magic week again. All your favorite brands head out to Las Vegas to show what they got coming in the next year. Part of our team is in place to take a look at the upcoming goods, but of course also to check out what is happening in the Las Vegas party scene this week.
The week started off well. A little look at the newly opened Stussy Chapter Store Las Vegas, which has got the entire Boneyards collection on stock and has also been decorated accordingly. Looking really nice!
Also Stussy started the party circus this week with a big hit, and hosted the "Strictly Business" party together with Undefeated and Ransom. The party was really good, therefore not too many pics!
A couple of pics of both the store and the party follow after the jump.

The music collaborations by Alife do not seem to stop. In general they seem to be in the news a lot these days, after releasing a collaborative sneaker almost monthly, collaborating with NaS on product as well as having him perform. 
Just a week after the NaS performance, the Alife Sessions welcomed Three 6 Mafia. Here below a video of the performance.

New Era and Zune entered in a partnership this year and will in the following monthswork on a series of projects. Included in the partnership is a podcast channel on Zune Marketplace.

True to Barker’s roots, the cap features a drum pad pattern inspired by an MP3 drum machine. The cap is graphite and black and is finished off with a black satin lining. 150 caps were released on the market on July 10th and are priced at $125 (USD).

Alife LA presents Nov York City, an exhibition of new works by Eric Haze, based on Dumar Brown’s novel The World Screaming Nov and featuring the limited-edition collaborative set The World Screaming Nov. A notable figure in the design and fashion community over the last few decades, New York artist Haze was commissioned by Alife to create an installation specifically for their Los Angeles space. The show will consist of eight archival silkscreen works on canvas. Nov York City represents Haze’s continued return to the fine art world, including recent exhibitions and installations at select galleries worldwide. This will be a rare opportunity to view and purchase the artist’s work in Los Angeles. The exhibition marks a first-time collaboration between Haze, Brown and Alife: The World Screaming Nov limited-edition set. The set includes a signed copy of Brown’s novel and a custom Alife t-shirt designed by Eric Haze. Limited to 192 pieces, the set will be available at all Alife flagship locations in Los Angeles, New York, Vancouver and Tokyo and is priced at $75. Nov York City is the first in a series of art exhibitions to be held at Alife’s Los Angeles space in the Fairfax District. Open to the public, the reception for Nov York City will take place on Saturday, May 17 from 7 to 10pm.

Known for his iconic graphics that have transformed the streets of New York City as well as defined the visual language of hip hop bands such as the Beastie Boys, Public Enemy and LL Cool J, Haze communicates with his audience through a variety of mediums. For Haze, the exhibition continues to balance the elements of his work as a graphic designer and fine artist. The site-specific installation represents “a continuation of the type-based, freestyle lettering work that I have been developing recently, playing on words, also using scale and repetition within the application of the written word.” His custom graphic for the limited-edition Nov York City t-shirt (print is shown on the above pic) is a one-off newly created handletter design that relates to the collaborative project as a whole.

The concept for Nov York City was inspired by Dumar Brown’s third title, The World Screaming Nov, which will be released by Brown’s publishing company Newkirk Éditeur. Having featured the Nov series in its New York location for several years, Alife partnered with Brown on his upcoming release and commissioned Haze to illustrate select quotes from the book. The three creative entities teamed up to produce the Nov York City exhibition and limited-edition set, which symbolizes a unique first-time collaboration for all.

There are nice stores out there and then there are amazing stores. When Italian interior design meets streetculture you can certainly expect something good to come out. One of the most interesting stores, not only in Italy, but all of Europe, to open its doors recently is back door Bottega in Bologna/Italy. Concentrating on a lifestyle that is all about Nike trainers and Jordans, they build a beautiful store fusing modern design with classic Italian interior.
Recently back door Bottega held the opening of the Nike Be True Dunk campaign and had a really nice setup prepared. Most of you were probably not there, so we give you a look right now. Eisaku Kito’s DIVA sculpture is part of the campaign, and they had several of them in store matching each Dunk color.
Check out the entire setup after the jump.
