Boxfresh Guerrilla Tactics…

So, the other day I got in back home in the early hours,turned on the TV, and was greeted with Bill Oddie.Too tired to switch it, I ended up watching it for hours. (For those that don’t know, Bill Oddie is a Bird watcher.Like a less good David Attenborough). Anyway,it was shit, but in that moment definitely made me think that people with the power of technology should use their powers for good.

So now, I have decided to use my powers to spread the joy of  Boxfresh across the world.Like an undercover superhero. Like, you know how you get Birdspotters, well, I’m just like that except I’m a Boxfresh spotter (and I have much bettter binoculars.obviously.) Basically, I’m like an undercover Boxfresh snapper,spreading the love of Boxfresh when I see it.

So, here is Picture 1 in my series of Boxfresh perversion from yours truly, which I took Guerrilla Style. Spotted on Camden tube escalator, while I secretly stood behind her and took a picture like a crazy person.Don’t watch the crap quality, its hard out here for a Guerrilla photographer.

More to come!

Open Letter to Mandela : Are you jacking my style?

Hey guys, its been mad cold in Cape Town lately (like, England cold!!) o my friend Khalid Shamis  from the UK  hooked me up wit this lovely rabbit hat from Genghis Emporium, based in foggy London town. Check out their stuff here (Would go great with a Boxfresh T.)

I’ve been rocking it on my FB profile for weeks now:

Holla!

As I’m sure most of you watched the World Cup closing (and well done Spain for that beautiful game), you must have noticed Mandela’s surprise appearance at the ceremony.

'Sup, fools!

YO!

Look familiar?

OK Madiba I know you’re the father of the nation and one of the greatest leaders of our time and everything, but did you really have to jack my style? Now everyone will think I copied you cos you are SO much more famous than me! WHY!

But I digress , it was great to see you again Madiba, I hope we’ll see you much more in the future. In the post World Cup mental slump we’re in, we could use some Madiba magic.

SARAH YOUNG’S TOP 3 FASHION| MUSIC | ART

Welcome to my top 3 Fashion, Music Art countdown, there is no excuse to be out of the loop, If you don’t know, now you know! Simples!

FASHION

Daddy / Son Duo Charlie and Joe Casely- Hayford are ripping up the fashion industry as we speak! Taking it back to the bygone era of tailored suits, tweeds, double breast jackets and blindingly shiny shoes their fashion house is nothing but classic old skool glamour with a touch of the London Streetwear aesthetic. Check them out here

MUSIC

Mr Party Hard aka Donaeo has wowed me with this brand new summer banger ‘I’m Fly’, i challenge you NOT to bop when you hear this in the club. Listen to my thoughts and the track on Audio Boo.

Listen!

ART

Laura Keeble is my kinda artist. She makes clever visual metaphors and uses popular iconography and gives them a totally new, different meaning ( Andy Warhol anyone?)

She once said the graveyard installation below was to do with religion, but i read much more meaning into it than just simply that. In my view through placing the Chanel and Mcdonalds logo directly on top of the gravestone ( a recognisable symbol of death) Keeble is commenting on the worth and perhaps the effect of capitalism. Big brands have no individual face or life behind them, so if you buy into them part of your individuality dies, if you buy into a faceless brand, you loose face.

Whatever the meaning, this is pretty sick right?

Kano, Grime MC and face of Boxfresh Streetwear, invited us to join him for the day in his recording studio and we jumped at the chance.  What with the collaboration with the Gorillaz and his new album coming out in September, Kano is a busy guy.

Talking of his new album, it’s called ‘Method to the Madness’ and is coming out 30th August. The album is sure to pack a punch with collaborations from high profile musicians such as Hot Chip Damon Albarn. The first single from the album is called Get Wild, featuring a stomping beat and quick rhymes. The track combines the talents of Wiley, Aidonia, Boyz Noise and Kano himself. Kano wears a selection of urban clothing from the Boxfresh Spring Summer 2010 collection.

Boxfresh Underwear Gives you Wings

Flying through the Air in a Pair of streamlined Boxfresh Boxers

Flying through the Air in a Pair of streamlined Boxfresh Boxers

Is it a bird, is it a plane? No, it’s a Boxfresh Superfan flying through the air in a pair of our underwear. This awesome picture was taken whilst on holiday in Fuerteventura, and is definitely one for the family album. If you have any cool pics of anyone wearing Boxfresh streetwear, please send them in.

We recommend a pair of brightly coloured underwear for your Summer hols – check out our latest collection. We think that showing off the waistband from underneath a pair of shorts is a great look.
