I’ve Got Something on My Mind

These crazy South Africans’ stupid song has been spinning around in my head all day… Kinda funny though.
Sylvester Ulv
Teen sensation Sylvester Ulv is one of the world’s brightest modelling talents. In fact so bright that you could think of him as the real life counterpart to Hanzel from the Zoolander-movie. And although we very rarely post editorials here on LeHype.dk, we thought we might make an exception this time around, ’cause not only is Sylvester Ulv hotter than Justin Bieber, but he’s also our compatriot!

Pet-lovin’ Opening Ceremony




New York-based Opening Ceremony has gone all in on the ponies this season! They have made several styles, including the top-selling M1 desert boot, in pony hair versions, and indeed do they make it work! The prices range from $ 340 – 355. The croc ones are of course just plain leather, but they’re still cool, and I thought they fitted with the concept of the post, so I included them… They’re $ 385. All styles are available via the OC webshop.

Canblau

Tapas i verdensklasse i Århus
Klostergade i Århus kommer i fremtiden, udover klostergrønt og fulde unge, til at rumme byens nok bedste tapasrestaurant. Siden de fleste af byens såkaldte tapastallerkner ikke har meget med tapas at gøre, kan Canblau måske endda med rette kalde sig byens eneste tapasrestaurant.
Køkkenchefen på stedet hedder Jimmy Holm og han har tidligere været ansat på ElBullí i Spanien. Hvorvidt han har været der før eller efter Adría gik amok i det molekylære ved jeg ikke, men konceptet her hælder mod før. Vi vil her på LeHype besøge Canblau på Søndag og vil i den forbindelse introducere en ny stil indenfor vores anmeldelser. Hvordan den ser ud kan I jo se hvis I har lyst. Indtil da kan i læse mere om Canblau her..
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
In Aarhus we have been fortunate enough to have lived to see the day when a classy tapas inspired restaurant opened its doors in our town. CanBlau is the name and its has class, at least if we tend to believe what we have heard. The chef Jimmy Holm is a former chef from ElBullí in Spain – former world’s best restaurant with the iconic chef Ferran Adría behind the wheel. Here at LeHype we are to visit the place on Sunday to check out the goods and bring you the judgement. Just for the fun of it..
Great Newz – with a Z!

This post is a short one, in fact, if blog posts were intercourse, it would be what you’d refer to as a ‘quickie’. And just like a quickie, the fact that it’s short, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad, so let’s get going with the actual content of the post (’cause thus far it’s only been foreplay): Zara just opened their online store! Boom!
Lanvin x H&M!!

Okay, so we might as well do a short follow-up. Yesterday H&M created the fuss, and today they confirmed it: It is in fact Lanvin and Alber Elbaz who will collaborate with H&M with this year’s high end collabo. Awesome! Now, they better be doing some menswear as well, or I will open up a proper can o’ whupass!!!
Roberto Cavalli’s killer trousers


Can somebody please tell me where in the world I can find these Roberto Cavalli trousers? See, normally I wouldn’t touch Cavalli’s italo-disastrous designs, even if my life depended on it, but amazingly enough he got it dead on this time around. Stupid thing is, they’re not even available via his own webshop, so if any of you guys know where I could get them online, it’d be highly appreciated if you’d let me know!
Lanvin X H&M??
Rumours are circulating on the Internet right now, that H&M’s upcoming high-end collaborator will be legendary Lanvin. One of the reasons for this, is that the voice-over on the above clip sounds like Lanvin’s creative director, israeli Alber Elbaz. At least that’s according to Style.com – and they usually know their shit! No doubt to me that this would be a giant scoop for H&M, albeit I’m always somewhat sceptical towards these collaborations. ‘Cause why would Lanvin use their creative heavy arms with H&M? But hopefully this would bring some genuine style and elegance back to the streets, instead of just ‘cool’, ’cause as we all know (by now, at least) once ‘cool’, then ‘cold’… Or… What??? Anyway, we’re intrigued – are you?
Mayday, Gayday

Okay, so I just received my new Giuliano Fujiwara cashmere/cotton-mix tee, and it has to be the gayest thing I have ever purchased! With the shiny front and the see-through back it has Ricky Martin written all over it, and I will admit that my first thought was to send it back to the retailer ASAP! Now, let me just set the record straight, before accusations start flying: I don’t mind gay people at all, but I must say that I would prefer not to be mistaken for one, ’cause it’s hard enough as it is for a fashion-sucker like myself to convince people that I’m as straight as they come. But anyway, I’m beginning to have second thoughts, ’cause I actually think that, if styled properly, it could be kinda cool after all… I’m thinking that a matte, black wool or cotton blazer would do the trick along with a pair of dark slim-fit trousers, and shiny, black chelsea boots. Something simple and classy like that, and I think I would be ready to hit the town. But still… there’s no chance in hell I’m going for cocktails or even wine in this one – it’s beer, and beer only!
SSense does it too…

Ueber-cool Canadian webshop SSense, now does it LuisaViaRoma-style.

Converse Japan Duffel Sneaker


Sometimes you just gotta be bummed out that you don’t live in Japan (well, unless you do, of course). ‘Cause every now and again stuff comes out that can only be found in the Land of the Rising Sun, like for instance this killer version of the Converse All Star. Let me first point out that I’m a huge fan of the All Star! Some fashionites would argue that they’re sellout and mundane, but to me, this is the ultimate utility-sneaker. You throw it on whenever you can’t make anything else work. But I think that both the pro- and anti-All Star crowds alike, would agree that this duffel version of the classic is pretty friggin’ awesome! Combining the sneaker with elements from the traditional duffel coat, this All Star definitely spices up the old original to an extend where you simply gotta love it! The buttoning detail in particular makes this an absolutely awesome standout to the old version. Unfortunately, as I mentioned before, it’s only due to be released in Japan, but you never know… So let’s keep our fingers crossed that Converse would realize that these babies would sell themselves anywhere in the world!!
Boooooooooooooooots! Boooooooooooooooots!

H&M boots 30€. Asos military boots 86€. Bikkembergs boots via Yoox 120€. Topman boots 85£. Kris Van Assche via LuisaViaRoma, 580€. Rick Owens via Oki-Ni 950€. Raf Simons via The Corner

MASH steak in Aarhus

Så skulle steakrestauranten MASH´s afdeling i Århus være på trapperne og vi glæder os. Her på Lehype, har vi fra pålidelige kilder hørt, at restauranten åbner indenfor de første ti dage af September. Der kan altså ikke være længe til. MASH står som bekendt, for nogen, for Modern American Steak House. Deres koncept er da også til at forstå. Bøffer, bøffer og bøffer mixet med lidt hummer og andre gode ting. Et fint vinkort og et klart koncept. Det er Le Sommelier drengene fra København der står for det og de har sjældent sat en fod forkert, så mon ikke det nok skal blive godt. Lokalerne er Restaurant Renés gamle på Hotel Ritz ved banegården. Ikke den bedste placering men mon ikke folk nok skal komme alligevel. Det er begrænset hvad der står på deres hjemmeside omkring stedet, så det hjælper os ikke… Vi håber på, at kunne være nogle af de første på stedet så i ved hvordan det er.
______________________________________________
If you are to trust the rumors going around town, we are set to see the opening of the steakrestaurant MASH in Aarhus within the first ten days of September. So it isn’t far off. According to the press in Copenhagen it should be something to look forward to, and so we are. The concept is simple. Steaks all around mixed with a bit of lobster and a nice winelist. It is run by the Sommelier boys from Copenhagen and this is more or less a guaranty for success. The restaurant is found in the building formerly linked with Restaurant René at Hotel Ritz. So we are replacing one overpriced half bad restaurant with a restaurant with a clear focus. No nonsense. The prices are moderate, but still in the high end. But what isn’t in these days. The webpage for the restaurant isn’t all that helpful but I am quite sure the menus are set to be identical. So you can take a sneak peak by looking at the menus from the two restaurants in Copenhagen.

A hipster so hip you can’t help but love him…
This morning I found myself dancing around listing to this great song. This type of quirky, lo-fi, indie pop usually stays pretty hidden from the masses. Darwin Deez, a hipster so hip you can’t help but love him…
