MAN, THIS IS AN ADRENALINE RUSH!!!!!!!

QUESTION?? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN FASHION AND SKATERS COMBINE
Alright, so this was pulled from the archives, I remember first seeing this video almost a year ago. Since Two Takes wasn't officially born, it slipped our minds, yep twice. But all good things come back and now its here. You have to check this video out. CALLING ALL SKATERS!! Designer Adam Kimmel and photographer/filmaker Ari Marcopoulos made the best presentation for his SS09 collection. Dressed in Kimmel's baby-blue suits, skater stuntmen Noah Sakamoto and Patrick Rizzo plunged down a vital highway going atleast 60mph. SEE FOR YOURSELF!

African Collective Fashion Show

The ‘Obama Effect’ has hit New York Fashion Week, resulting in a style and cultural explosion as colourful and diverse as Africa itself.

The show opened with the voice of Jones intoning ‘Man-Eating Machine’, as a giant, black and white video of the singer – digitally-distorted and manipulated in the manner of ‘The Terminator’ – unfolded on a screen at the back of the stage.

The African Fashion Collective was jointly sponsored by ThisDay, one of Africa’s largest daily news outlets, and Arise, the glossy style magazine devoted to African global achievement. It was timed to mark the election of Barack Obama as President, and First Lady, Michelle Obama’s championing of young, culturally diverse designers.
