Theophilus London x Cole Haan Limited Edition Buck

On Tuesday (September 13th), Theophilus London teamed up with Cole Haan to bring you limited edition blue suede buck. He claims his fashion inspiration comes from his dad’s closet and I believe it.  This Brooklyn based MC has hit the ground rolling setting his own style and share with us great music. If you are local go check him and the shoe premiere out at the NY location Cole Haan Soho on Prince Street. I’ve had a pleasure to see him live and he’s quite the character.  I’m glad he’s able to expand as an artist not only in music culture, but the fashion scene as well. Fellas, blue suede?

You can check out his latest video for “I Stand Alone” off the debut LP Timez Are Weird These Days.

Theophilus London x Flying Overseas

And finally this visual for “Flying Overseas”.  I absolutely love this video not only do I think this is a great song and he’s a dope up and coming artist, but his leading lady is dark skinned and GORGEOUS….not to mention I want her outfits for spring.   (I thought I’d give dark skinned natural women praise for a moment)  “Flying Overseas” features Devonte Hynes and Solange Knowles on the hook and is his second single off Green Label Sound.  The setting is familiar because it was shot on the beach of Malibu.  Thomas and his director give their explanation of the creation of the video saying,

“I wanted the video to be less concept-y and very minimal,” said London. “A very personal and emotional visual piece.” The outcome is full of psychedelic elements. “The technique for creating the datamosh effects was different from anything our crew had done before,” said director Tim Nackashi. “We filmed Theophilus’ face and fed that into the computer as data. It was a great experiment. Theophilus is a true artist.”
