“Sarah discovered my blog in its early days and I’ve been lucky to have worked with Colette ever since; everything from product collaborations (like skateboards, candles and clothing) to projects with Chanel, to my first exhibition in [the] store in 2010. There is a certain knowingness about Colette, it’s a store and brand that really gets it. It treats its customers with a level of intelligence while still having fun – traits I try to bring across in my blog as well.” – Craig Redman AKA Darcel Disappoints

In celebration of 15 years of Parisian boutique Colette, Craig Redman, also known in the digital space as Darcel Dissapoints, has created over 150 iterations of icons in both fashion and music to adorn the shops interior. Here, the artist provided Life+Times with exclusive images of his re-creations of everyone from Tom Ford to Yves Sait Laurent to Karl Lagerfeld in his signature egg-shaped persona.

Danish brand Norse Projects presents a refreshing Spring/Summer 2012 collection full of color.
Unlike the vikings, which were the symbol of the apex of man, instilling both fear and desire into women with every swing of their axes and swords, the modern norseman matches up classic beige chinos with a blue oxford, or throwing a bright orange Elka rain jacket on top, in classic Norse style. The suede baseball jacket and floral all over prints this season are also looking good.

Short of opening a bottle with your teeth, we can’t think of a more manly way to crack a cold one than with a demilitarized .50 caliber bullet casing… which is exactly what this is. Made in the good ole US of A out of military grade ammunition, this bottle opener is probably the only way most of us are ever going to handle a fist-sized .50 cal round, but we’re ok with that. Available HERE for $20.

On March 23rd, Copro Gallery will be hosting the opening for a whole new body of work from Leslie Ditto that is based thematically on the Asian culture’s superstition, mythology, and folklore. Entitled Riding The Dragon, this series of paintings highlights her love for modern fantasy and surreal art along with her self-taught techniques gleaned from studying the “Old Masters” such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Rubens, Raphael, and Rembrandt. We’ll keep you updated on the latest, in the mean time, check out the above preview of one of her featured works.
