Jeff Koons Designs a Car

Jeff Koons Designs a Car Jeff Koons isn't shy. He’s the neo-pop artist responsible for towering (forty-three feet!) flower puppies, planting “scandalous objects” on the lawn of Versailles and most infamously, a life-size shrine to the King of Pop and his favorite primate. Koons’ is also the guy behind some of the strangest eroticized art of our time, as well as some of the most comically received. The artist’s latest project? Creating the next BMW Art Car, an undertaking that Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and David Hockney, among others, have also committed to. What does Koons have in store for us? We can only guess. Some stand-out Art Cars and a few of Koons’ most “inspiring” works after the jump.

The Trouble With Sustainable Fashion

The Trouble With Sustainable Fashion In light of the recent H&M controversy over using non-organic cotton (not to mention the brand's wasteful destruction and disposal of garments that could have easily been donated to those in need), it seems prime time to clarify what exactly eco-fashion means. If such a thing were possible. "Having spent two days in Copenhagen immersed in the concept, having thought about it over the weeks since then, and having canvassed a wide variety of fashion figures, I can honestly answer ... no one knows," writes Vanessa Friedman in the Financial Times.

Kevin Smith Wants You to Finance His Next Picture

Kevin Smith Wants You to Finance His Next Picture The forthcoming Cop Out (a.k.a. A Couple of Dicks) is Kevin Smith’s first studio-backed picture since Mallrats, and if the ubiquitous trailer is any indication, it will likely succeed where Zach and Miri failed in winning the director a wider audience. Does this mean Smith’s gone mainstream? Sold out? Not necessarily. In a move that seems at once clever, desperate, rare and most definitely intended to assure fans of his indie bona fides, Smith’s already announced that one of his next projects will be…wait for it…fan-financed! Make checks payable to Clerks III, LLC.

American Apparel Diet Not Nearly as Fun as It Sounds

American Apparel Diet Not Nearly as Fun as It Sounds When we first heard of the American Apparel Diet, we figured it had something to do with slimming down to fit into all those garish, form-fitting onesies they insist on selling. Then we found out it was just a bunch of rich ladies who'd vowed not to go shopping for a year, and were somewhat relieved for the human condition (and our starch habit). But what in the world made a group of cosmo-guzzling, brand-worshipping, American consumeristas cut up their platinum Visas? We went to the group's website for answers.

Get Your Free Stream of Sade's 'Soldier of Love'

Get Your Free Stream of Sade's 'Soldier of Love' Tomorrow sees the end of a decade-long recording hibernation for the Grammy-winning pop star Sade. The last time she put out an album, 2000's Lover Rock, the music industry was a very different place. Napster was just a baby, and Pitchfork was still something the devil carried. But Soldier of Love—out tomorrow—is already number two on the Amazon charts thanks to pre-sales, meaning that even in the age of Hype Machine, Sade fans like their music served up the old school way. Fortunately for you, we don't. So in honor of plummeting record sales, here is Sade's Soldier of Love, for free, after the jump.

Ladies, to Secure Valentine's Day Date, Purge Closet, Eat Greens

Ladies, to Secure Valentine's Day Date, Purge Closet, Eat Greens Ladies, you might be earning higher degrees and more money than your gentlemen counterparts, but you’ve still got to play by men's rules. Take for instance the Sunday Styles piece The New Math on Campus. The New York Times spent the weekend providing reasons why most college gals can't land a man (it's because they text them after meeting at a late-night diner!) Then the Daily Mail did all of womankind a solid and investigated why ladies should order salads, and refrain from wearing fashionable clothes on their next date. Follow these man-friendly rules and maybe you wont be alone this Valentine's Day.
