A New(bie) Face for Ksubi

With the Olsen twins, Madonna, and Kate Moss as its brand ambassadors, Ksubi (formerly known as Tsubi) has built an international cult following for their skinny, curve hugging-jeans. Prior to now, their online presence—previously a weird groaning, shifting rainbow image with cryptic pop-ups—left something to be desired. Fortunately, Ksubi just relaunched its website with e-commerce functionality and a much more useful, lo-fi interface that takes cues from Google's no-nonsense design.

But do you really want to hear about anything but the shopping? We didn't think so. The site's e-commerce portion presents the label's hot offerings, including their signature taut jeans for men and women as well as hip, '80s-ish unisex shades—or "sunnies" in Aussie-speak. Ksubi's freestanding stores in Australia and New York have been receiving some brisk foot traffic, and we expect you'll show their new online shop the same love.

    I’ve been back from Rio for over a week now days and I’m still living on the five days of jam-packed energy whipped up at Claro Rio Summer.

    There were so many photo ops during Claro Rio Summer, here I snap some of my friends and scenesters who attended the events. The shots were captured primarily at Michael Roberts' book signing for Saved (a photo essay on life at the beach in Rio) and at the samba rumbling fete at The Oteros and at Jo de Mer's show at Oscar Neimeyer's first house in Brazil. Enjoy!
