It’s been a while since I’ve seen my friend the great Baloji…

And I although I do miss him, I’m ecstatic that the reason why hasn’t been around is that he’s on the road sharing his incredible talent with the whole wide world…

LGF and I were pretty excited that during the few days he did spent in Belgium last week, he made a public appearance and spun some tunes at the launch of Tommy Hilfiger’s “Promise” collection.

As LGF was in Antwerp he swung by the event and here’s what’s up with one of Belgium’s (Soulwax league!) finest :

Baloji‘s MTV Iggy performance is nominated for a Webby Award, so please VOTE for him! We already did.

LGF informed me that B will be off to Cannes shortly to promote a short film that he starred in.

BTW IMDb! Update the Bullhead page please! Our boy had a speaking part and should be credited as such (Club Owner….Baloji)!

What else?

He’s got a movie script ready and he’s off to Japan where he’ll be touring 4 cities.

I hope he’s visiting Tokyo.

I’ve also received word that he’s working on a double album. WOW! And also: CAN’T WAIT!

And he might be releasing a mixtape.

Loving those frames, B!

The above and below images are from a feature that has been in the making for quite some time. But that doesn’t matter. Because the protagonists and their art are timeless. So watch out for this one in De Standaard Magazine. (I’ll keep you posted of the drop date).

I was super honoured that Vito aka Aeroplane visited the KNOTORYUS offices for a shoot + interview that you will also be published in De Standaard Magazine shortly.

And the ültracuteness smizing at you below is our beloved Ü (a KNOTORYUS project) editor Immanuel from Style For Guys.

I took him to Paris during fashion week, and I’m posting this picture of him sitting next to the clochettes des bois Karl Lagerfeld sent up to our room (not kidding) to congratulate him for his double Weekend Blog Awards nomination. Style For Guys is nominated in the category Best Fashion Blog and Ü is nominated for a Best Entertainment Blog Award.

We’d really appreciate your votes!!

(it’ll literally take you 1 minute)

Next Best Of The Weeks coming very very soon!

Stay hungry, stay foolish.

Around the world Sarah Lerfel has been lovingly dubbed Sarah Colette as she has been the driving force behind the planet’s best store for years.

Well, from now on you can call her Mrs Andelman, because a little while ago she married critically acclaimed video director and artist Philip Andelman.

In the picture above she’s wearing a dress designed by Tao Kurihara from CdG and a Maison Michel flower band.

More images, 2 amazing dresses and a gorgeously funny wedding cake after the jump!

This must be her in Jeremy Scott & Victoria Grant.

Félicitations!

Watch The Throne is coming out on August 4.

This kind of messes me up because I will be chilling in a mansion in France and I had to sign a no internet clause. Also I’m pretty sure they won’t be selling this album in the nearest (22 miles from where we’re at is what I’m told) supermarché…

It’s all good though. I’m happy with this little taste of what happened during the recording of the album.

+ It is hilarious/awkward/incredibly sweet that Kanye put a Parisian ring on Hov. And I love it that they’re namedropping my third celebrity male hero Russel Brand.

I am not sure if this is what the Grand Puba of fashion ment when he pointed out that something BYYG was coming. Fact is that this is going to be a phenomenal exhibition…

I have been buying pieces from Walter Van Beirendonck’s different clothing lines for almost 2 decades. Our 6 year old grew up wearing his designs for children. She honestly believes he’s the only designer around that really matters. Actually, when she spotted him in Antwerp a couple a weeks ago. She poked me and casually went : “Mom, there goes Walter.” I just smiled and said : “There he goes indeed.”

Press release : the floor is all yours:

In the autumn of 2011, the Antwerp Fashion Museum will present the first large-scale retrospective exhibition of the work of fashion designer Walter Van Beirendonck.

Over three decades, Van Beirendonck has built up an impressive international career. He is the maverick of the Antwerp fashion scene and became primarily known for his colourful designs, his spectacular fashion shows in Paris in the 1990s under the W.&L.T. label, and the critical messages on society he proclaims in his designs. His work combines the most diverse sources of inspiration, ranging from technology, art and pop culture to ethnography.

There’s a new Beastie Boys album coming out and it’s called “Hot Sauce Committee pt 2″

Apart from the pink-haired chick scaring the shit out of me I have been going “WOW!” “WOW!”  and “WAIT?”  and “WHAT?” for two minutes straight.

These are like all my favourite white entertainers in one trailer.

(never thought I’d say this but Elijah Wood : dopeness.)

And I need a FILA shirt.

Plus: they’re using my favourite line:

“I don’t even understand what that means.”

Cowbells! *Klingelingelingeling*

Watch it after the jump …

MARLON BRANDO

Dear Charlie,

I’m feeling like a very large turd on a very thin stick. I’m holed up in bed and taking everything from sled dog urine to powderde East Indian vulva — maybe won’t work tomorrow if I feel the same.

I really feel bad for not showing up at your birthday bash but I really feel shitty and best stay in bed. I don’t have much of a selection. I’m sure it will be a kick in the ass and I hate to miss it —

Happiest of birthdays to you, Charlie

Love,

Marlon
