I'm Too Sexy for my Sarcophagus

One time someone said to me, "you have a fucking blog about fashion, get a life." I suppose that's true, although I never really thought of it that way (I don't totally consider t shirts and streetwear to necessarily be "fashion" fashion, you know?). This week was Fashion Week though, and the most interesting bit was Jeremy Scott's Egyptian eighties dollar bill spring 06 collection. Bridging the gap between runway and cheeky street, Scott's collection is easy to digest and pretty fucking rad, mixing redesigned excessive Adidas with throwback 80's novelty style patterns. Most would call the line 80s inspired, but a least it's a different late decade 80s than most of the throwbackery we've seen from other designers. Plus the dude made a mummy sweatsuit, and you can't front on that. Smart folks out there though might note that Perks & Mini were doing Egyptian as well a season or two ago...

• I other high top news, Crooked Tongues has super detailed pics of the Escape Air Force III. I thought the Air Force IIs were the ultimate in 80s sneaker design excess, but this motherfucker really takes the cake; 12 eyelets? Shut the fuck up. I'm perpetually on the fence about tucking your jeans behind your tongues, but with these essentially being combat boots, the tuck seems like a requisite.

• Finally got a minute to peruse the AKA NYC previews, both on their site and on BGHD. It's 2005 and everyone's down with graffiti, thankfully the cats at 12 oz know how to pick 'em.

• NYC people, check out the A.R.E. Weapons release party tonight.
