July 22, 2016 Bantu Wax: Nowhere To Go But Grow

The Culture Crush’ Debra Scherer sat down with Yodit Eklund, founder of the African surf brand Bantu Wax to talk about her evolving company and African youth culture. Yodit, an Ethiopian native, eloquently shares her goal to create positive images of Africa through Bantu's own ethos and sense of community. She shows us that, contrary to popular belief, Africa is more than just a poverty-stricken continent filled with expensive safari opportunities; it is actually a dense hub of remix culture. Though many industry behemoths talk the talk of Made in Africa, Yodit's guiding force is basically, "if it can't be made in Africa, we don't make it."

Join the Culture Crush for a discussion about photography and street casting with documentary photographer André D. Wagner and casting director David Milosevich just after they had finished a collaboration for issue six of our print magazine. Though they both hit the streets looking for that special someone, it would normally be something they did solo. For this special story, they went out as a duo all over New York City to see who they could find and shoot them on the spot. Now that's what we call real street style.

October 03, 2015 New York, Just Like I Pictured It.

On
this week's episode, documentary photographer Andre D. Wagner pays a
visit to The Culture Crush studio just as we are finishing the Gotham
City issue of the magazine. For this special issue, we focused on New
York City, and Andre took to the streets during the summer months to
create a portfolio of images just for us.

We
discuss his arrival in the city and first experiences with the
overwhelming qualities of scale and diversity inherent in taking your
Leica and pointing it just about anywhere here. Bringing up the
inevitable juxtapositions of race, class and all of the other subjects
not meant for polite conversation, we go deep into the process of
photographing the comic book of society we are experiencing every
surreal day here in Gotham.

September 08, 2015 Too Big Not To Fail? Talking All Things Retail With Robin Lewis
Robin Lewis is the co-author of The New Rules of Retail and editor-in-chief of The Robin Report.
He stops by our Flatiron studio in New York City to talk about
everything that's wrong with the direction of the very complicated and
broken system that serves as the middle man between the fashion industry
and the consumer.With
his 40 plus years on the business side of fashion, unique insight and
scathing humor, we discuss much more than just how the industry has
evolved, but more importantly, how the consumer has evolved, the blind
spot in many retail strategies faltering today. In other words, growth, which has always been the retail endgame, is now sinking a lot of ships.
