There is always a time when a performer comes along with a proposal so unusual and ‘out there’ that even the underground looks up and takes notice. Yet the underground would have some sort of trouble categorizing said performer into an especific style. This is the case of multi-instrumentalist, sound designer, choreographer, singer/songwriter Ana Lola [...]

It is quite obvious that women are underrepresented in hip hop, and the genre, even today, remains a patriarchal one. It doesn’t help that there is still a great deal of misogyny and machismo in songs and music videos. This doesn’t mean there aren’t any decent female rappers out there though. In fact, the evidence [...]

The photography of Francesca Woodman is at once haunting and simply beautiful, much like the artist behind the camera. Black-and-white images of women, usually nude and often Woodman herself, appear almost delicate and quiet at first glance but take a closer look to find a raw, almost lurid sensibility. Woodman, who tragically took her own [...]

When I first spoke to Jean-Philippe Delhomme, The Unknown Hipster, I did so with the idea of doing a WILD Profile on him.

New York menswear line Rochambeau revealed its latest collection Wednesday at The Box at Lincoln Center, with a collection of 15 pagan-inspired looks that played with deconstruction, draping, pleating and leather, using a variety of grays, blacks and burgundies.

A label with a truly romantic and somewhat bizarre beginning, A.F. Vandevorst was started up by couple, An Vandervorst and Filip Arickx, who met in 1987 on their first day as students at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp.  What brought the couple together was their mutual interest in all things “hospital”, a [...]

One of New York’s most precious gems in music are a collective of eclectic and innovative dudes that produce all of their own music. They’re young artists who create a sound that is a mixture of live music and old school synths. They’re a little jazz, a little hip hop, a little neo – and [...]

Broken relationships seem to be Peter Silberman’s specialty. And, as is proven by the new album released last Tuesday by his Brooklyn-based band, The Antlers, no matter how many songs Silberman writes about his lost loves, they will remain just that, forever in limbo, broken and perpetually dissolving. His loss, however, is our gain, as [...]
