We’ve just got a whole new CRIB in PARIS since a couple of dayz…

If you dont know. Now you know.

Im really happy about that news. I mean we finally got an office and a new space/creative playground in PARIS to be able to do EVERYTHING WE WANT… Also, Im fukin happy to open that space with a project with my friend and great french artist JR and his brazilian new foundation CASA AMARELA.

Honestly it was really important for us to open that space with a charity and human project, that’s why JR was the perfect partner for that. All the pics we use to stick on our walls was taken from the young kids of the favelas. And then we did create the whole installation above it, with the concrete ground and the house roughly made. DO BRAZEOU! It was a hard work to set up everything but the result is really cool. I mean, to be really honest I were not the guy behind the workout session, but my partner GREG did a good job on it. (for ones… lol)

Many people keep asking what is this new space about? How do you gonna call it?

(…)

Well this space is actually a store+a gallery+a pop-up shop+ a black rainbow brand flagship… Because you gonna find all the items of our own brand. It is a mix of everything we do love and we want to share with visitors, friends and family. You can call it ARCHIVES, LA CAVE or BKRW space…

We just dont care about labels and name anyway.

Check after the jump all the backstage pics of the whole installation. And come to see us! Support us!

Open to the public from 3.30 PM to 7.00 PM, Tuesday to Friday. 68 rue des archives. PARIS 75003.

Les joies de la banlieue française!

I love french suburb. More precisely the 94 but actually Ive got an appointment in the 92 yesterday afternoon : LA GARENNE-COLOMBES… Wtf!!!??? 2 hours of train and 1 hours of horse later (just kidding 20min in scooter)…

We’ve been invited with my partner GREG to DOMEAU & PERES office for a whole afternoon. Ok Their offices are really nice but most of all they’ve got such a great skill with leather.

They can “leathered” anything. Look at this wonderfull FIAT 500 (white rolls-royce paint)… Alpaga for the rooftop… Butter leather everywhere inside… Wowowowow… My pics are actually not really good (for ones) and this amazing car deserve a real photoshoot… maybe soon

All images shooted with a BLACKBERRY BOLD 9000.

This is paris! (imagine being there)…

Last week-end the whole PARIS x BERLIN was in Paris (without NICO, TOM, BIANCA and a the deutsh VANS team…) to celebrate the PIGALLE FIRST ANNIVERSARY Party Batch!

sometimes the week is just doing good…

it starts with a day to follow my good friend JR and his team starting his whole new collage on Ile St Louis in Paris, this guy is really crazy and his new gigantic parisian project gonna be another blast!

I’ve been also really happy to kinda see and follow the backstage of this kind of collage. Emile and David are also some important key players of that kind of artistic production. They stay in the dark but what a crazy job!

The JR team headquarter is located inside a primary school…

And every single parisian spot has been prepared and is organised since months! A real war map!

More exclusive inside pics on BKRW.COM…

Then this morning I did receive a really nice package from AUSTRALIA. The very new 16th SNEAKER FREAKER ISSUE with the sneaker freaker x skippy x 850 x nb preview and a crazy story about REEBOK PUMP. But WOODY did also add some really cool goodies : sneak attack mixtape AND AIAIAI x SNKR FRKR x EARPLUG… wowowowowowowowowowow! Im more than happy really! I love them! I love my hairy aussie!

Merci!

The guyz of Black Rainbow Shop (to Citadium) just work on a new display of the corner. Actually they did work very well and the new result looks more than nice and clean.Some of the biggest fridges have been dropped off. And a new black and purple giant sticker has been sticked.

Specially fitted for the new premium shit such as RED WINGS SHOES or new STAPLE Fall 09…

Congrats to the team!

Follow their adventures on their own blog.

berlin x paris x francfort x amsterdam…

merci phil x nico PX.. and soon PXA…

We’ve received a very interesting new silhouette made by La Chaussure LACOSTE and ATMOS. I really like this mid version of the CABESTAN. I love also the very good use of the sponge material of the upper (terry toweling) which is a very good pick for such an american yachting/boating inspiration design.

Check more images on BKRW !!!

Lets make it short, simple and clear…

BKRW very new parisian office… First preview pic.

And much more coming soon!

Im guilty.

Since the 19th of July I did not post anything. Omg.

But Ive got some really good reasons for that.

July was a real crazy month. I really thought that its gonna be like a cool and chilling time BUT suddenly we have to work on NIKE IAM1 PARIS project and prepare the opening of our new office/space in PARIS (secret)…

And so we have to take care of 5 teasers set up to announce 5 tournaments : running, bike-polo, basket-ball, soccer and tennis. Check the 5 teaser directed by ALBAN TEURLAI and music by TAHITI BOYS. Each of his teaser featuring one guy/girl from streetculture parisian communanty : Romual x THE LAZY DOG, STEPHANE x PIGALLE, Olivia x SHOES-UP Magazine, MARC x PIGNON FIXE, and my self. It was some great moments, it takes nearly one week to shoot them and the same time to edit it.

Then we’ve to do the tournament and honestly it was just awesome. Check the video we’ve done with ALBRECHT GERLACH of each. It was really fresh, some extraordinary good and positive vibes, and a nice atmosphere. It was just great…

BIKE POLO Tournament x Trocadero

BASKET BALL Tournament x Pigalle

TENNIS Tournament x Bastille

SOCCER Tournament x Charlety

So no need to explain then why after that and 3 weeks of holidays I aint got any time to post! But now Im back full of energy and great news to announce and spread. Stay tuned!
