LRG 2012 Spring Lookbook

January 30th, 2012  •   Posted by: mark  •   Posted in: fashion  •   2 Comments

LRG unveils their lookbook for Spring. Motivated by the words ‘explore more’, they highlight their daily pursuit of exploration by using “Hangover House” as a backdrop to the lookbook. A historic structure known for being way ahead of its time, it was built in 1938 by William Alexander, and commissioned by explorer-writer Richard Halliburton to be an inspirational reminder to think outside. The collection itself consists of ’90s-inspired nautical wear, denim jackets, plaid shirts, hoodies, striped crewnecks, graphic tees, and much more.

Check out the lookbook after the jump.

Neo Pop Surrealism by Stephen Hall

Stephen Hall is a New York-based artist who paints abstract shapes, still life forms or surreal figurative motifs, which are rendered as symbolic metaphors, contextualized as such by the use of intense vibrating colors, ambiguous light sources and spatial dynamics. The New York Times sums up his work pretty well: “His large canvases in vividly saturated acrylic show cultural conflict and homogenization: a Japanese woman who, on closer examination, wears a pattern of Eames chairs in her kimono and is clutching McDonald’s fries; a Native American against a patterned ground that turns out to consist of silhouettes of Windex bottles.”
