Maybe you know the man. You should certainly know the brand. In this Video Moment, UFC champion Georges St-Pierre shares a side of himself that many of his loyal, Ultimate Fighting fans are probably not aware of — GSP (as he’s known in the sports world) is a fan himself; a fan of all things couture. Haute couture, that is. Randy, we’ll talk about you should you make an appearance at New York Fashion Week. Better yet, the next time you’re living it up, South Beach style, give us a call, Mr. Couture.
Curious to know the scoop on Georges’ brand du jour? Well here’s a hint — What’s in a name? Just ask many of GSP’s octagon opponents and you’ll be on the right track! Give up? Come on. This one’s easy — Affliction! That’s right, Mr. St-Pierre is all about living fast and the Affliction brand is just his speed. GSP even helped to inspire and create a couple of the brand’s pieces.
So whether your a fan of the man, a fan of the brand, find both to be quite groovy, or anywhere in-between, check out Affliction’s summer 2010 collection, and live fast in style.
As we transition from spring 2010 to the hot days and steamy nights of the 2010 summer season, it’s time to think fashion; of course; as always; once again. And you guessed it … inspiration awaits in this Video Moment. As our loyal readers know, we always bring the best in real-world, wearable fashion, but this video; this one has some real gems if you know what to look for. [We know you do. You're at The Moment. You know fashion.] Here’s a hint, however, for those of you just discovering all that is The Moment — Diane von Furstenberg’s graffiti dress … it’s in the video. On a model. In Miami. Looking fantastic. Enjoy the show!

In this Video Moment, Artist Julie Mehretu invites us into her world. It’s a world of meticulous attention to detail, focus, and deep reflection. The result? Fantastic abstractions that evoke, provoke, and amaze. Complex works that seem to mold, and manipulate space and time as one ponders the social and architectural insights emerging from the artist’s expressions is Julie Mehretu’s hallmark.
Layer upon layer of translucent material make up this Goldman Sachs-commissioned piece, named simply (and quite aptly) Mural. It’s absolutely a site to see once one understands the context, care, and thought embraced by the artist to conceptualize, and complete such a work. So the next time you’re strolling around lower Manhattan look towards 200 West Street, snap a few photos and happily be on your way.

Well now the trend is apparently has made its way beyond the midtown marvel. A few enterprising culinary creators are making their ways through the streets of Los Angeles are serving up a fresh-made, comfort food classic.
How about this for a grilled cheese twist; sharp cheddar cheese, with barbecued pork, topped with just enough caramelized onions. Oh … Vegetarian you say? Maybe a roasted butternut squash with sauteed leeks, finished with a touch of balsamic or agave reduction … grilled cheese sandwich. Well, dream no more, those are but a couple of your options when perusing the menu of LA’s The Grilled Cheese Truck. Enough from me, however. This Video Moment will have you craving exactly what The Grilled Cheese Truck has to offer. It’s all in the name.
