Cosmopolitan proves it all. We need a women’s collection. Look at that! Our flagship piece, the Raglan Parka Jacket looks even better on a chick than a Dick. Meaning a boy named Dick. Whatever. Get the new Cosmo at your local magazine store. It says in the picture text, that you, as a Cosmopolitan reader, also can find a nice warm winter jacket in a mens collection. Our collection that is. Ok. So women’s collection coming up summer 2011. Definitely. Please wait. It will be beautiful.

The majority of this years bigger shows are behind. But still the sickest one is coming up! The SLVDR & MAKIA, HARD WORKERS CLUB, is now marching out from SIA Denver, and heading for ISPO, Munich. Come and visit this great union, at booth Nr A2. 434 and A2 436. You need to see what it’s all about.

MAKIA & SLVDR. WE’RE FRIENDS.

MAKIA - SOURCE AD

The new fresh issue of Boardsport Source Magazine just dropped in. There seemed to be a pretty tight MAKIA ad featuring Travis Garone from Urchin Associates. But also a whole page for the upcoming Bright Tradeshow in Frankfurt, Germany. There’s just something we love about this picture. Can’t figure out what…

BRIGHT TRADESHOW - SOURCE AD

The new catalogue is (almost) finished for Fall / Winter 2010-2011 . Our ambitious photographer Kimmo Syvari got the around the world tour pictures that he called “a pile of shit” re-touched into ” beautiful diamonds”. It only took 1000 hours, 1000 more cups of coffee and tons of sleepless nights. It’s about time for us to watch and learn from the great beers falling into a winter hibernation, meaning a state of inactivity & metabolic depression and wake up next summer for our next catalogue project.  Check out the last re-touched photo we received this morning.  A clear sign of hyper-energetic behavior and a overloading mind. Good night…

"Winter Hibernation Dream"

That’s today. And we’re going out. So are you. Have some gingerbread and mulled wine to celebrate a jolly good Little Christmas. Christmas is all about family. Little Christmas is all about friends and a good time. Remember your friends today.

Happy Little Christmas to everyone of you.

For all you hipsters out there. It is soon here. And it’s going to be huge! Check BIG TV!!!! Follow Joelle Reefer, Lilli Rose and Timo P on their cold journey that digs deep in the finnish street culture. BIG TV is bigger than your TV. Anything to do with MAKIA? No. We just have good taste.

Pitch Black Biker

Here way up north when the lovely eternal dark winter arrive we always start preparing for next summer. Picture above was shot while walking home from the office yesterday at 5 PM. Saw a guy riding past us with a fixed bike in the middle of a light snow fall. Got to take a picture of the moment. Came out good or what? Anyway, we met David Pitschi from Billabong in Hossegor, France a while ago. David reminded us of the power of yes. We were in the middle of a dark forest planted by Napoleon, wanting to shoot. One phone call to a complete stranger – and an hour later we had a brilliant photo of this brave man. Anything is possible when people say yes. Say yes. David Pitschi is wearing the new Makia Pitch Black Herringbone Jacket. Yes.

What is up with the weather in Scotland? How can they run around in kilts with that kind of a wind blowing up their arse? We were lucky though, the whole hell weather day chilling inside the Glasgow SECC venue with Eagles of Death Metal, having a beer or three and talking about great Mo’s. Hear and see what Jesse Hughes has to say about that.

And we all know what Dave Catching says!

Flying to NYC from Montreal yesterday, meeting Walter Schreifels and Arthur Smilios from Gorilla Biscuits in a backyard filled with cat poo. Washing of all chords in the YMCA shared bathroom. Second party joins the flu team. Now the whole crew is contaminated. Latte Venti adds to production of snot as an endless source of protein for the bacteria. YMCA hotel room turns out to be combination of a jail cell and a sauna: Approx. 38 Celsius and dirty boxer shot editing on upper bunk bed.

Pictured here: Saturdays Surf NYC pose session. Josh and Morgan, these guys are on point! You should go there! It’s located at 31 Crosby St. Soho, NYC. And if you are too lazy to go there you can also call them and have them send you a surfboard: 212 966 7875. What a handsome couple.

Want to impress the bartender? Side-roll over the counter whenever. In this picture Makia Steal Flag Cardigan and the Trucker Shirt. Remember to hold a straight face for extra points. Montreal hockey time.

Imagine living here! Consider recycling.

We are managing Trash City, LA. We are developing a habit out of dealing with the local police. First problem was a lit cigarette being thrown out of the car window. This was very stupid from our part (as is smoking in general) as forrest fires are quite the taboo around here.

MAKIA VISITING SCOTT NEEDHAM

We visited Scott Needham today in North Manly, Sydney. What a day. This guy is a handful. Couldn’t keep up with him! A true walking brainstorm. But more than that, Scott is one amazing photographer. To quote the man: “It’s wonderful to experience life through the lens, exploring the many elements. With a dash of irony, no matter the action or emotion captured, so much is unseen by the eye as to the mind’s eye. And as such, the spirit within.”

It was a great honor for us being invited to the master’s house. Go visit Scott at : Scott Needham Photography. Next stop : City of Angels.

See the Movember logo under the word “ketchup”? Well, this pretty much illustrates the scale of the movement here in the land of OZ. All we have to say for now is: watch and learn. It is all about a good cause and growing a mo. Grow a mo to be a man and to help out. Over and out.
