Read An Exclusive Excerpt From Marc Frazier's Upcoming Memoir "Without" →

Between the drinking and the acting out sexually I was dually addicted. I felt I didn’t have control over either. I would be in my car coming from someplace and my car literally headed for the Bijou Theater for instance. I honestly couldn’t decide not to go. I could be dead tired or not feeling well; it didn’t matter. I was driven to have sex or to drink. Click here to read more.

A True Cultural Oasis: We Look Back At A Legendary Year In The Nightlife Of Tenants Of The Trees →

When Tenants Of The Trees descended upon a relatively quiet nook of Silver Lake, no one really knew what to expect; not the inhabitants of Silver Lake or denizens throughout the glittering, panting sprawl of Los Angeles. While the world raged outside, the venue, particularly Out Of Order (the private club within Tenants), would become an oasis – an island in the middle of an existential desert. Like the name suggests, a perch was given to creative artists and musicians around the world – not just locally – who used the venue to debut and announce albums, put on secret performances and cathartically scream and dance their hearts out after the death of Bowie, Prince, Vanity, Cohen, Michael and many more. Tenants of the Trees’ gave the space to Autre on countless occasions for their iconic Friday Artist Take Over (FAT). Instead of doing the typical “best of” year end list, we decided to take a look back at one of the most mythic and fabled years of nightlife within the hallowed walls of Tenants Of The Trees, and Out Of Order. Click here to see more

Take A Look Inside The Studio And Read Our Interview Of FUCT Founder And Artist Erik Brunetti On His New Artist Book

Looking like a cross between a rogue border patrol agent and a cowboy dandy, Erik Brunetti is the founder and fearless leader of one of the most iconic American street wear brands. The brand’s name alone, FUCT, harkens a kind of dissidence and lassitude belonging to that doomed generation that came before the digital dark ages and the millennials struggling to survive in its cold pixelated miasma. While street wear brands like and Supreme and Stussy opted for safety in numbers, the FUCT brand, which was conceived in Brunetti's Venice Beach bedroom in 1991, remains uniquely intact and connected to its DIY roots. Starting off as a graffiti artist in New York City, FUCT became a kind of extension of Brunetti’s seditious ideals. Just recently, Brunetti teamed up with Paperwork NYC to publish a book of new drawings. Entitled Astral America, the book is an ode to post truth with a smattering of India ink renderings of drones, US military propaganda, pop iconography and psychologically damning, accusatory, and anti-consumerist slogans aimed squarely at the gluttony of American culture. We got a chance chat with Brunetti about the book, the current state of FUCT and why it’s not cool to justify war with hashtags. Click here to read the full interview. 

Read Our Interview Of Michele Lamy On The Occasion Of Rick Owens' First Museum Exhibition Of Furniture →

On a cold, rainy night, the day before the private opening, we huddled in the cab of a moving truck to chat about furniture, music and fashion. It may have been a symbolic coincidence that Michele Lamy was in the driver's seat, clutching on to the huge steering wheel, but maybe it wasn't. It's true – going at it alone and organizing a massive exhibition of her husband's furniture line is not a small task. But it’s obvious that she is used to it and loves the process, and Rick is happy to take a back seat. Click here to read more.
