Marc Cianfanelli x Nelson Mandela

South African artist Marc Cianfanelli, was commissioned to create a sculpture in honor of peace activist and politician, Nelson Mandela's 50th anniversary of his capture by apartheid police.

Using 50 columns, this monument stands at 6.5 x 9 meters high, each anchored to the ground. The shape and form are representative of the leader's 27 years behind bars for his efforts to bring equal rights to the once racially divided nation.

Adrien Sauvage X Dr. Martens

The Burak Uyan fall 2012 shoe collection is another celebration of eye-catching colours and use of futuristic and geometric elements in contemporary shoe design.

Uyan has committed himself to the creation of high-heel sandals and ankle boots which revolutionise the traditional techniques used by accessory designers; often experimenting with unusual heel shapes, including cyclinders, elegantly-tapered talons and even constructions made of metal rods.

The Sartorialist: Lunch for 25

Scott Schuman aka The Satorialist presents "Lunch for 25".
During Pitti Uomo earlier this month, he invited 25 people that had the biggest influence on the website and that sum up (for him) men's style. He brought them all together for lunch in a traditional trattoria in Florence and thanked them for making The Satorialist what it is and stands for today.
From Kanye West, Nick Wooster to many other familiar faces, this get together was certainly an interesting one and the video above makes you feel like a fly on a very style conscious wall.
