Hide your money folks, this credit crisis is the real deal. But as good people all across America cry into their comfort food, the ladies at TV remind us that even the threat of an impending recession is nothing to be depressed about.
Available in black and yellow or white and blue, these vinyl carry-alls will have you looking your miserly best as you schlep your fast-food vouchers and worthless mortgage securities around town.

Artistic collaborations are a pretty sweet thing. Matthew Barney and Björk, Andy Warhol and Lou Reed... Starbucks and Sonic Youth.
'Anglomania' is the love child of one such collaboration, between the queen of punk, Ms Vivienne Westwood, and the cult of Brazilian footwear, Melissa - also the brains behind the original jelly sandal invented in '79.
It seems that the further we go into the future the more our focus on durable craftsmanship regresses. Some fashion, in particular men's, has a lot to answer in this regard. Asuza are bucking this trend through retro-futurism, which it would seem is a combination of forward-thinking design and dedicated craftsmanship from a time long gone by.
Fat, purveyor of all things very black and drapey and skinny, have finally released their long-awaited house brand, Rainer. The label's first collection is called 'Teutoburg Forest', which refers to a battleground where the German tribes unexpectedly defeated a headstrong Roman army in the year 9 AD.
I fucking hate Lomos.
All that don't think, just shoot bullshit. To be stupid is one thing, but to make yourself more stupid? Something else altogether. The whole thing smells like a cult. And not one in which you get a mandatory great haircut. And it kills me how they remade a crappy old Russian camera - with all the crappy old Russian camera faults.
