Big wave surfer and father of modern stand-up paddleboarding, Laird Hamilton, has joined the PUMA Ocean Racing team as the honorary 12th crew member for the Volvo Ocean Race 2011-2012. On board to find and conquer the world’s biggest waves, and to act as a fitness and nutrition coach to the team, Hamilton’s partnership [cntd…]
A hiking trail for nudists opened about a year ago near the town of Dankerode, Germany, about 320 kilometres west of Berlin. The trail was an instant hit and also saw one open in Switzerland, where the issue of nude hiking will soon be taken up by the Supreme Court. Nude Hiking Day coincidentally takes place on June 21.
Yay, science. The guys over at Continuum fashion have made the world’s first ready-to-wear, completely 3D printed bikini. It’s called the N12, and it’s pretty cool. Above and beyond it being a sexy-looking bikini, the whole thing is made up of 3D printed pieces that snap together like lego.
My extensive collection of sunglasses is well documented, and I can tell you right now, without hesitation, that this new pair of Persol “Steve McQueen‘s” from Sunglass Hut is EASILY one of my favourites. They are the epitome of ‘classic’ and the contrast of the light tortoiseshell frames against the blue lenses make me so […]
Now you could own the dress that was part of one of Marilyn Monroe’s most memorable scenes. Debbie Reynolds is auctioning off her vast Hollywood memorabilia collection on June 18 and it includes the white halter dress which the blonde bombshell wore on the set of her film, The Seven Year Itch.
Maybe it is time for Karl Lagerfeld to stop being weird. If it is not making a life-size, chocolate sculpture of his boyfriend six decades younger than him, then it’s fashion fails like this. The male “urban turban”, also known as the “murban” is what Karl is hoping metrosexuals worldwide will be sporting this winter. Pic of bf Baptiste Giabiconi wearing one inside.
At approximately this time last week, Seth Rotherham, Bruce Good and I were taking in the Royal Wedding at the 2oceansvibe Media Compound when we noticed something odd. What was it? It was Princess Beatrice’s hat of course. SilverStreak has already alluded to its ridiculousness this morning. Now it’s become a Photoshop hit too.
Photographer Frank Marshall has been shooting Botswana’s metal scene for his upcoming “Visions of Renegades” show in Johannesburg. Meet some of his subjects, Dead Demon Rider and Maximum – two of the fiercest (and most fashionable) Botswana men around – and see them strut their stuff inside.
When Cleo Australia decided to name their 50 most eligible bachelors, they thought that it would be a good idea to have a man standing next to two hot women, with his bulging tackle only contained by a pair of gold pants. The only problem is that what was created was a “vagipenis”.
2oceansvibe had to turn down business from two different brands this last week. A lot of the haters out there don’t realise that. They don’t think it happens. It does. Constantly. That is why the lovers keep coming back here – because any exposure for any brand is genuine and they don’t mind the advertising. […]
SA’s #1 street fashion blog, www.popyacollar.co.za took to the streets of Cape Town with one of the industry’s hottest rising stars, photographer David Session, to produce this stunning shoot with 2oceansvibe’s own G-Man! CLICK HERE for the rest of the shoot at PopYaCollar.
One of the reasons why 2oceansvibe is aligned with Puma, is they’re constantly bringing out hot new ranges – always innovative, always cool. I’m heading into the V&A store this week to try out these new running shoes. Check it out: PUMA have created a new range of running shoes that are inspired by the […]
Wow! Okay. Last week we told you about the ‘Get An Eckō Tattoo, Get A 20% Discount For Life’ they’re peddling, with a couple of metaphorical raised eyebrows. So they sent us a couple of photos of fans that had gotten themselves branded with their logo – bluff called. Amazing.
This sounds sort of like every dystopian sci-fi film ever, but okay. If, for whatever reason, you felt like you needed 20% off of Eckō-brand apparel for life, you could totally make that happen by getting an Eckō tattoo somewhere on your body. It’s a coupon that never expires!
Many a talk show will tell you that kids are growing up too fast these days, with little girls dressing “sexy”, and “Brat” dolls that might be borderline inappropriate for children. But the latest offering from clothing manufacturer Abercrombie and Fitch takes this creepy trend to a whole new level.
Tom Ford is a well-known American fashion designer and the film director of A Single Man – the movie that earned Colin Firth an Oscar nomination last year. And according to Tom, a “gentlemen don’t wear shorts. Unless it is on the tennis court or to the beach. Thoughts?
Don’t know if you caught The New Age‘s recent article about our new pirate tracking satellite service. It seems they believe that fashion designer extraordinaire, Karl Lagerfeld, is heading up the SA Maritime Safety Authority. Something I was unaware of. Follow the link for more.
Oh boy. The Nelson Mandela Foundation, which is apparently under some financial stress, is launching a Mandela-themed designer line, dubbed the 46664 Apparel line. Shwe-shwe material and brightly-coloured golf shirts feature prominently, because that’s what Mandela’s about.
Clearly not satisfied with the launch of their English magazine, Inspire, which first appeared about nine months ago, and included a feature called “How to make a bomb in the kitchen of your Mom”, al Qaeda’s media arm has followed up with a magazine for women, titled “Al-Shamikha”. Apparently the editorial team will be mixing beauty tips with lessons in jihad. No spice.
I don’t blame you if that headline seems confusing. There are way too many “wow-factor” words launching at your face at once. It seems impossible and your brain actually shuts down for a moment – an early warning system our bodies have developed over centuries – stopping our heads from exploding. Some of you might […]
We love a good mug shot here over at 2oceansvibe. Paris Hilton’s array still being amongst our favourites, admittedly, but this dude is rolling with quite a mesmerising vibe. Half a ‘fro actually. We’re sure there’ll be a couple of guys on the inside having a good laugh at his expense.
Just picked up some news on SA’s leading fashion blog, PopYaCollar.co.za, that Giorgio Armani has bought a house in Camps Bay. I just love the way he rolls and cannot wait to join him for a Corona at Caprice! Apparently the house is on Ronald Road – PopYacollar has an aerial shot showing where it […]
The last time I went to the Puma Social Club in Cape Town, I went head-to-head with Herschelle Gibbs – table tennis bat in my one hand, cold brewskie in the other. Hot babes all over my stick. Because that’s how you roll at the Puma Social Club. I’d kill to check out the one […]
The French are preparing to sail themselves into unchartered waters when the ban on wearing the Muslim burqa and other Islamic face coverings in public places comes into effect in just over a month. Racial tensions in that country have already begun to boil with the John Galliano “I love Hitler” incident. This will be interesting.
I’ve been rolling with a new range of golf shirts of late, thanks to Merchants On Long. You might have seen them before – with the embroided warrior, raising his shield. Very cool vibe, and something you should probably take a look at. They’re 100% cotton, made right here in Cape Town. So not only […]
Here is a behind the scenes video from one of Bigsky Productions’ shoots which took place out in Worcester…..ya I said it, Worcester! Thats pronounced VOES-TER! Don’t be shy to roll that “R.” Its not quite Cape Town but pretty damn close. Check it out after the jump.
A couple of benches in New Zealand were altered to imprint advertising for Superette short shorts on the back of people’s thighs. This is creepy on a couple of levels, but I’m mostly curious as to how somebody could get the back of their thighs stamped with words and not notice.
I was doing my thing in London in the late 90’s – you know, hanging at the Met Bar, getting fussy about pin-stripe suits and enjoying the exchange rate (20 to 1 when I left, can you believe it!). But one thing stood out during my time in London, and that was the chairs my […]
There was like so much drama (insert nasal whine) at the Joburg Fashion week. David Tlale’s finale on the Nelson Mandela Bridge started two hours late, which lead to many people leaving before it started, and several sad little schmodels. See, Derek Zoolander was right; life’s hard, even when you’re really, really, ridiculously good looking.
