LMFAO

After browsing the internet for fresh new tracks for hours, The Chronicles of Cool stumbled across an absolute gem in the form of LMFAO, an electro-hop duo of Sky Blu and his partner in Rhyme, Redfoo. From Hollywood, LMFAO have brought a different dimension to the Electro scene, with club bangers including La La La and I’m in Miami Bitch, along with touching up the likes of Kanyes ‘Love Lockdown’ and BEP’s ‘Boom Boom Pow’. They aren’t touring Europe at the moment, so in the meantime have a little dabble…

Paul Smith: New London Rubbish Bin

Paul Smith is a very busy man, with recent collaborations with Oakley, his new ‘Project 10’ bag collection and at the same time, producing sharp suits, Paul Smith has turned his attentions to keeping the streets of London tidy. The ‘New London Rubbish Bin’ will be showcased in Covent Garden and Holland Park for the next four months to encourage recycling and to give the litter police a bit of a rest. The five foot bunny bins, with ears that light up when you deposit your waste is Paul Smiths contribution to Super Contemporary – an exhibition which opened yesterday at the Design Museum.

H&M: Fashion Against Aids

Its not often that fashion labels which support good causes, does the charity they raise money for, any justice in terms of style. But H&M have bucked this trend with their most recent ‘Fashion Against Aids’ campaign. H&M have joined forces with the some of the biggest names in music, fashion and style to spread awareness for the cause and to help design t-shirts and t-shirt dresses, to spread the message. The ‘Fashion Against Aids’ range was launched a few weeks ago, but now the likes of Dita Von Teese, N.E.R.D and Yoko Ono have all jumped on the bandwagon. The Chronicles of Cool likes this collection a lot, With t-shirts under £10, with 25% of that going to the charity, it would be rude not to.
