Today we had a chance to visit the opening of the Chanel Pop-Up shop hosted in collaboration with colette. On display were an assortment of classic Chanel products, such as quilted bags, leather gloves and various apparel. Guests were treated to cupcakes, and artist Kevin Lyons, who recent held an exhibition at the shop, was on hand customizing bags and adding Chanel influenced imagery to the space. Overall an impressive event with many more to follow. The pop-up store is also located close to the colette store, so make sure to pass by.

Today the latest exhibition of artist Kevin Lyons opened its doors at concept store colette in Paris.

“Kevin’s latest show for colette consists of a number of drawings, illustrations, paintings, prints, and installations that explore the vibrant, colorful language of reggae and dancehall culture. Both a student and an avid collector of early reggae and rock steady, Lyons combines his formal interests and skills in illustrated simple characters, bold typography, and the fun rolling poetry of the language itself. The sheer volume, variety and repetition of this poetry and the visual screaming monsters who repeat it al throughout the space creates its own silly but heartfelt rhythm. Dancehall style bump and grind is encouraged.”

Tonight the new WeSC x Fatsarazzi Collection was also launched at colette. As you can imagine, the crowds came out for the two events. The exhibition is running until February 26th.

From Curated -

Eric Elms’ AndPress launched a new book by Kevin Lyons, Miles Runs the Voodoo Down, earlier this week. At a hefty 220 pages, the publication collects drawings and quips from Lyons over the last few years. As a graduate of RISD and full time advertising creative director, Lyons has his hands full with all types of artistic endevor, Miles Runs the Voodoo Down is particularly great for stripping the mans output to simplest form.

The Nike Air Max 90 Current has been well received since its launch and is an interesting alternative to the current Air Max line-up. In August several artist editions of the sneaker will be released.
The orange pair has been designed by Kevin Lyons. The white/grey model still needs to be identified, but first voices on the Internet say that it might be designed by either Ben Drury or Hitomi Yokohama. More on that soon.
Both styles are now available for pre-order at Kix-Files.
Detailed images after the jump.

Arkitip has become one of our favorite art magazines in recent years, not only because of content, but also because the overall package was always interesting and worth collecting. Now their latest issue 46 has been released and once again they put some very special together.
Issue 46 comes with 3 covers, created by Kevin Lyons, Michael Leon and ben Drury. You can get one or collect them all. The issue includes editorials from Studio von Birken/Ben Pogue, Tony Arcabascio, Nieves, C.R. Stecyk III, Frank Novak and Joshua Gregory. Each issue comes with a blank Beams T x Arkitip t-shirt and each issue comes with a heat transfer sheet designed by the cover artist, that you can then apply to the t-shirt.
A great idea. As usual the issue comes hand packaged and limited to 1500 sets.
Get yours now here.
