AIMÉ LEON DORE & PORSCHE UNVEIL UPCOMING COLLABORATION

https://www.opumo.com/magazine/aime-leon-dore-porsche-911/

If you don’t already know, we’re partial to a custom Porsche 911. In fact, we’re partial to a Porsche 911 of any kind, but when one comes along that has the elegant Aimé Leon Dore signature stitched to the RECARO racing seats, we're all in.

Aimé Leon Dore’s combination of preppy style and contemporary streetwear has marked the New York-based label as one of the most exciting brands of the moment. That was true even before it unveiled its first campaign video in collaboration with Porsche.

After months of research at the Porsche Museum, Aimé Leon Dore and Porsche have produced a very lively restored Porsche 964 Carrera 4 911. Not only does this machine boast a roar that most prides of lions would be proud of, it’s packed with meticulous, stylish details. The interior is crafted from Schott sunflower leather and luxurious Loro Piana houndstooth wool that gives a nod to Aimé Leon Dore’s Fall/Winter 2020 collection.

While the project is riddled with references that eagle-eyed Porsche and Aimé Leon Dore fans will pick up on, our favourite is the custom badge that adorns the rear grill. The forest-green emblem epitomises the style of this collaboration – it’s timeless, iconic and brimming with class.

“The Porsche 911 is perhaps the single most iconic automobile of all time, a car whose design synthesises many of the values that connect Porsche and Aimé – simplicity, ambition, tradition, and beauty.”

Teddy Santis

Teddy Santis, the founder of Aimé Leon Dore explains why his brand fits so well with Porsche, stating that since he began the label, Porsche has played a central role in the design process of collections.

Andrew Weatherall has died.

The respected and beloved DJ and producer passed away this morning, Monday, February 17th, at London's Whipps Cross Hospital. Weatherall suffered a pulmonary embolism, according his management, who said "his death was swift and peaceful." He was 56.

Weatherall's management shared the following statement this morning.

"We are deeply sorry to announce that Andrew Weatherall, the noted DJ and musician passed away in the early hours of this morning, Monday, 17th February, 2020, at Whipps Cross Hospital, London. The cause of death was a pulmonary embolism. He was being treated in hospital but unfortunately the blood clot reached his heart. His death was swift and peaceful. His family and friends are profoundly saddened by his death and are taking time to gather their thoughts."

Weatherall was a key member of the late '80s London acid house scene, as a resident of Danny Rampling's Shoom parties and through the Boy's Own collective, working as a DJ, producer and journalist. Most widely known for producing Primal Scream's 1991 album, Screamadelica, and acts like Beth Orton and My Bloody Valentine, he was also part of influential groups The Sabres Of Paradise and Two Lone Swordsmen. More recently, he ran the A Love From Outer Space parties with Sean Johnston.

Weatherall was in the process of releasing new music, including the Unknown Plunderer / End Times Sound EP on Byrd Out. He had also been booked for a number of upcoming festivals such as inner city electronic, Houghton, Love International, GALA and more.

Screamadelica is a great album Andrew Weatherall and Paul Oakenfold (Chelsea fan) were responsible for the indie rave crossover scene. A real loss RIP Andrew.

Hi Team,

I currently live in Seattle, USA and am making an impromptu trip to the mother land in March. It just so happens that Chelsea play Man City while we are there.

 

Just wandering if anyone has any tickets they would like to sell for the match? Long shot but thought I would dangle a carrot.

FERRARI 330 P4: THE BEAUTIFUL LOSER

https://www.opumo.com/magazine/ferrari-330-p4-beautiful-loser/

Based in London, INK is an award-winning creative studio that delivers digital content across film, print and interactive platforms. Although the studio specialises in the imaginative use of technical and creative direction, its willingness to experiment with new methods and technologies sets the company apart, ensuring every project that carries the INK name is striking and relevant. Our attention was well and truly captured when we laid eyes upon what many hold as the most beautiful car of all time: the Ferrari 330 P4.

This project comes as the latest addition in INK’s Plain Bodies series which recreates historic race cars without any of their original paintwork or markings, emphasising the often iconic body design. This time round, INK honours the sculpted curves and seductive form of the Ferrari 330 P4.

Midnight Studios Pro Leather Mid Sneakers

https://www.slamjam.com/en_SE/man/footwear/sneakers/mid/converse/midnight-studios-pro-leather-mid-sneakers/J186337.html

Continuing the inside-out theme from their original 2018 collaboration, Converse and Shane Gonzales Midnight Studios team up to deliver a white and egret Pro Leather Mid sneaker. Inspired by punk, the LA-based designer takes an anti-aesthetic approach, subverting the norm and challenging design preconceptions.

With Gonzales' rendition of a basketball icon, the Pro Leather Mid is flipped inside out, exposing detailing usual reserved for the interior of the sneaker. Constructed with luxurious suede uppers, Converse's instantly recognisable star and chevron branding sits alongside a backwards model designation stamp and the rarely seen material comp label printed to the heel panel.

The Perfect Porsche Does Exist and It Wasn’t Even Built in Germany

https://gearpatrol.com/2017/11/15/new-singer-vehicle-design-porsche-911-williams-f1/#1

Earlier this summer, it was announced that Singer Vehicle Design was partnering with both the Williams F1 engineering team and the famous Porsche engine designer and engineer Hans Mezger to create a reimagined 911 powered by a custom built air-cooled flat-six. Well, the wraps just came off the car, and it may be Singer Vehicle Design’s crowning achievement.

The engine itself is built from the ground up as an air-cooled engine for the 21st-century, with no expense spared. The result is a 500 horsepower, naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six that revs all the way to 9,000 rpm — a work of art, all its own. The donor 1990 Porsche 964 was then pored over by the obsessive geniuses at Williams F1, who considered every component to determine if any could be re-engineered and/or rebuilt lighter and stronger. If you guessed “yes, many could be,” you’re right. Extensive use of magnesium, titanium and carbon fiber brought the total weight of the car down to 2,180 lbs, or about 200-pounds lighter than the current Miata.

And as with any 911 reimagined by Singer, the interior is a thing of beauty; with the help of Williams F1, this one is a minimalist masterpiece. Blood-orange leather covers carbon fiber seats and the transmission tunnel. Where upholstery usually acts as the primary aspect of the interior design, here it’s merely a complimentary accent to the bare composite and metal bodywork throughout the cabin.

Only 75 of these beauties will be bestowed upon us and as for pricing, per usual, it’s on request. Each example will be tailored to each owner, so prices will vary wildly, but you can expect each to fetch high six-figures. Singer has also opened a new shop in Oxfordshire, England, right next door to Williams F1, to build each car as it’s commissioned. Is this a sign that Singer is moving away from one-offs and into low-volume production? Time will tell.
