For the Bombay Sapphire Art Project 2008, Chang Yoong Chia and Teoh MIng Wah have collaborated together on the Flora & Fauna Series III - Safe House installation to be exhibited at Valentine Willie, Kuala Lumpur. The surreal series was started by Chang in 2003, and is inspired by recollections of memories from his youth and current emotions. The new works by the up and coming artist are a continuation of the same theme and should not be missed.

‘Flora & Fauna Series III - Safe House’ will run from October 18th - November 8th, 2008, at Valentine Willie, Kuala Lumpur, 1st Floor, 17 Jalan Telawi 3, Bangsar Baru, 59100 Kuala Lumpur; T +603 2284 2348.

The new Dr. Martens will surely be of interest to both fans from back in the day as well as newcomers alike. The popular patent leather boots get a colour-gradation makeover, whilst the Phoenix and Zena boots offer a more reserved colour scheme.

Available sometime mid-October at Front Row, 5 Ann Siang Rd, Singapore.

Some Snappin’ SIghts from around and about Singapore last week. Ran into a familiar face that was rocking a pair of production sample 576 Heaven and Hells - sick!

On our recent travels around Thailand, we stopped by Genesis, one of Bangkok’s finest independent sneaker stores. We asked the guys to pick out some of their favourites from the mounds of stock, and they broke out the Nike Air Max 90 Current in the infrared colourway, as well as four pairs of Converse. It’s easy to get lost in the mountain of releases that are coming from Converse lately, but it’s hard to argue with such quality as the leather snake skin and camo print Jack Purcells. Stay tuned for more Prime Cuts from around the region.

Genesis BKK, 444, First Floor, 1B41 MBK Center, Phayathai Rd, BWangmai Pathumwan, Bangkok 10330; T +66(0)26260459.

Luthfi Mustafah, known to most by his Killer Gerbil alter ego, has probably bombed more locations - both legal and not - than we care to remember. This time around, he wants to tag your electronic products, but without actually breaking out any paint. Okay, he was actually bored and had nothing to do so he created this wallpaper for your desktop, iPhone and PSP.

Here’s the sizes: 320 x 480; 480 x 272; 1280 x 800; 1280 x 1024; 1440 x 900; 1680 x 1050; 1920 x 1200.

And if you want to make his day, snap a pic of how you’re using it and mail it to him. While you’re at it, tell him Streething sent you!

Much has been documented about the upcoming collections, looks and trends popping out of New York Fashion Week, but little has been said about the fashion seen off the runways. Thankfully, Scott Schuman aka the Sartorialist was enlisted by men.style.com to capture the scene happening around the shows in his unmistakable style of street photography. Hit the jump to check out the pics.

Here are some new items from the adidas Y-3 Fall/Winter ‘08 collection, we find the use of double layers and zippers on the hoody and boots rather interesting. Designer Yohji Yamamoto fuses classic sportswear apparel with elements of high fashion and douses them in a generous serving of monotone black to create a casual-yet-edgy look. Simple and functional, but with just enough subtle style to make a statement - we are liking it and guess that quite of few of you will too.

adidas Y-3 is available at M Store, The Gardens, Mid Valley, Malaysia; Blackjack, Forum Shopping Mall, Singapore; and Blackjack, Erawan Bangkok, Thailand.
