Unoffical Video for Panda Bear's "Surfer's Hymn" Released

An unofficial video for Panda Bear’s “Surfer’s Hymn” (but approved according to sources) is making its rounds via the Internet. The single is from his latest effort, Tomboy. It’s directed by m ss ng p eces and is said to be a “tribute to surfers taken by the sea.”

The video features eerie images of a skeleton crew as they crawl from graves to “surf” the streets, which makes for a spooky and interesting video! The black and white video provides a very old school cinema feel (the footage of surfers is actually really cool!), while humorous moments are sprinkled throughout the video, such as when one skeleton does the “hang ten” surfer symbol to a fellow skeleton friend.

Chanel's Tomboys

During this past fashion season we definitely saw a return to modesty from certain designers, with higher necklines and looser-fitting silhouettes. At Chanel, a sense of modesty was there but with a boyish twist. Models strutted down the catwalk with a cool-elegance in lace combat boots and over-sized, tweed suit jackets. While androgyny is nothing new in the fashion world, what made the Chanel FW '11 show unique was the blend of polished femininity and tomboy-like grunge. It was the guy's gal wearing slouchy trousers and a sparkle encrusted blouse. This juxtaposition is certainly not unprecedented, however is it highly creative and definitely cool. Many of the looks from the collection were totally wearable and looked effortless rather than contrived and overly-done.

I look forward to seeing fashionistas emulate the looks seen at the Chanel show and I plan on giving them a try myself!

Check out the show for yourself in the video below!
