Traditionally menswear and unisex brand Cassette Playa has branched out into womenswear, although enigmatic designer Carrie Mundane hasn’t sacrificed an iota of her vision in doing so. The London based designer believes that clothing is an extension of the self, the avatar of one’s persona projected into reality – the concept of clothing as a second skin is especially important to her. As a parallel to the Cassette Playa vision, the incorporation of Augmented Reality technology into her runway production brings a whole new level of personality and depth to the collection.

In this short video doc, VICE catches up with Nikki in her NYC studio and gets an in-depth look at the concept behind her photography work.

Her work always involves others; she believes that the self cannot be fully understood outside the context of human interaction.

Brand new video and album from my friend Sal’s band Jumpin’ Quails. The Jumpin’Quails suddenly self-generated in November 2005 as a chemical reaction between musicians (four), cocktails (a lot more than four) and beat-garage-surf sounds, and currently live in a time bubble beneath the city of Torino.
