Jake Davis – The Deluxe Influence of Bedwin | Video

Posted: 15 May 2012 12:00 AM PDT

Jake Davis   The Deluxe Influence of Bedwin | Video

Jake Davis‘ latest installment in his film series with K-Swiss Japan exploring Japanese style revolves around Jey Perie, the marketing and public relations director for DLX, the parent company of Bedwin & the Heartbreakers and Deluxe. Entitled “The Deluxe Influence of Bedwin,” the short film highlights the importance of American culture — especially in the late ’70s to the late ’90s — on Japanese style, and how DLX’s Bridge store, offering goods from Deluxe and Bedwin, is true to its name by bridging the gap between Japanese and American sensibilities. Perie describes Japan as an emerging “mecca” of vintage-inspired garments, essentially reflecting back to the world what Japanese retail buyers took back from their forays into the U.S. throughout the past 20 years. Hear more of his insights in the video below.

MINI John Cooper Works GP

8 minutes and 23 seconds, that was exactly how long it took the new MINI John Cooper Works GP to complete the notoriously difficult Nürburgring-Nordschleife circuit in Germany. By far the sportiest MINI to date, the MINI John Cooper Works GP isn’t just a standard MINI with add-on aero kit. Instead, engineers at MIMI’s sub-brand John Cooper Works re-tuned brakes and suspensions by racing specs standards. Large front air dam, side skirts, and rear diffuser help to improve the aerodynamic flow.  To squeeze out every last drops of performance attributes, even seats on the back row were taken out. Limited to 2,000 units worldwide, for those interest, contact your local dealers on availability and method of purchase.
