    Marxy offers up an interesting take on the recently released and RELAX-produced Uniqlo mook. As for the Seleqlo limited-time (guerrilla?) shop at the Rocket Gallery, it opened this weekend.

  • OK Fred Love

    Warren Ellis gives the latest issue of OK FRED (5) the thumbs up. Cheers! If you haven’t gotten your copy yet, what are you waiting for?
