Kasabian Football Hero

The Mightiest Crumb has recently secured himself a few tickets to World Cup 2010 in South Africa and will progressively be getting more and more charged about said event over the next 8 months (assuming he lands a miracle to finance his travels). In the spirit of daft and insane socceries, I couldn't help but post this video of some English footballers and their attempt to coalesce the world's most popular sport with the world's (or at least the USA's) most popular contemporary video game. Behold, Kasabian Football Hero!

Lickshot Launch Party

Last night The Mightiest Crumb was fortunate enough to attend the launch party for Ben Watts' new book Lickshot: a photo scrapbook. Hosted at the Hudson Hotel and sponsored by Moët & Chandon. The party drew quite a fun and fashionable crowd including Ben's sis Naomi and hubby Liev. The book has already garnered heaps of good press and should manage to be a success for the talented photog. Congrat's Ben on a great book with serious attitude and a successful launch!

Also thanks Moët & Chandon, though I think I'll stay away from champagne from now on. It's bad news for me.

Balenciaga RTW Spring 2010

Balenciaga's SS10 collection had landed. Every time Paris fashion week pops up like a snooty hurrah to it's predecessors-- face it, we're talking high fashion heavy hitters here, not your run of the mill Nutella smuggling crepe peddlers-- this Crumb gets very excited to see what Monsieur Ghesquiere will be sending down the runway. Here is a taste.
It's hard to tell what inspirations from the depths of Critobal's archives have been resurrected in Nicolas' new collection. Regardless, it's edgy, chic, brimming with his signature futurism and unmistakably Balenciaga.
