I DONT LIKE MONDAYS

be there: falling into the sun

For those who prefer their Friday nights a bit holistic, Claire Evans and the Body Actualized Center have got you covered this weekend. The YACHT frontwoman is hosting an "aesthetic and corporeal experience" tomorrow that features experimental film to complement a series of participatory activites like yoga, meditation, and reiki healing. DJ sets and live performances are also promised, as is a summer's end bonfire. Find more about the event and the venue here.

influence: linda for interview russia

September's Interview Russia brings with it a menswear-inspired story defined entirely by the classic charm of Linda Evangelista. Aggressively chopped and tousled hair complements a round of garments from Calvin Klein, Armani, and Thom Browne that are styled to massive proportion by Patti Wilson. Lensed by Daniele and Iango, the minimal photography gains dimensionality with touches of red layered throughout.

be there: softrock

the lower east side's 1:1 gallery continues an impressive roster of events with softrock, by actually huizenga and socrates mitsios. the video-themed exhibition features the dynamic, sexualized, and violently glamourous aesthetic that characterizes the collaborators alongside a curated soundtrack. saturday evening marks a highlight in the project, with a special performance featuring miss huizenga alongside brooklyn darlings house of ladosha and cody critcheloe. look here for more details.

influence: novo

Dazed & Confused's September issue brings us a hodgepodge of our favorite editorial elements. In the brief series, Pierre Debusschere brings model Guerrino Santulliana into a kind of dimensional purgatory that recalls Richard Haines as well as A-ha. Errant brushstrokes and lounge prep stylings bring to life the new collaboration between Christophe Lemaire and Bean Pole. Don't try this at home.
