Estelle - Freak


Beyond the music being hot garbage, the less-obvious downside to the culture’s fascination with Gaga is that now every chick on the planet thinks she needs to suddenly act like a weirdo, shave her head, and start wearing clothing with lots of 90-degree angles. Hey ladies, be yourselves and leave the unicorn steez to the OG loco Kelis! But Estelle, despite rockin out about how she’s a “Freak” in this legit weird Guetta collabo (weird because… Guetta??), remains the awesome badass she’s always been, doing great justice to her Soul II Soul riff and vamping cutely in a variety of outfits and um, black make-up. Plus she is singing about bondage on a video that feels like a throwback to C&C Music Factory or The KLF. 1990s house culture in full effect.

Gold Coast Trading Co Spring 2010





Former 21 MC co-founder Emeka Alams started his new label Gold Coast Trading Co a couple of seasons ago, and this is our first peep at spring 2010. The collection is called Togo Waves and Road Maps, and some of the best pieces—like the red shorts for ladies—appear to be scribbled with ancient markings, mystery signs and some more familiar graphics (ie this one: $$$), turning the language of slavery on its head. Alarms was listening to BLK JKS and Afrikan Boy when he designed the new pieces, and it’s no surprise that the styling has a London-via-Lagos twang to it. As well as the clothes, there are plenty of great accessories worth checking out too, including a nifty all-over-print duffle bag.
