From the land of fake titties, cocaine nose jobs, bleached blonds, paparazzi and mutant celebrities comes a groundbreaking scientific development. Researches at UCLA have discovered how to manufacture magic crystal. Not that type of crystal! This isn’t a Steve Aoki dance party, and the scientists don’t look like they’re into raves.

Overall, the space is well designed, the garments and products are cleverly merchandised, and the vibe is somewhat mature when compared with the streetwear/sneaker [...]

KR’s ink evolved into “Krink“, a popular and trendy line of inks, markers and t-shirts that now adorn the shelves of swanky boutiques in the US, Europe [...]
