exploring what it means to be the modern man.

Oh you know, hanging out with Pharrell, nbd. The little things in life..

A close friend invited me to the House of Vans last minute to experience Pharrell in concert, through the HTC One. The camera is beyond awesome [per usual], and the aluminum body is slick. That, and the sound on the phone, BoomSound, will get the party started. All features that were appropriate for said concert. And to pull it all together, HTC BlinkFeed kept me updated on everything happening at the concert – people’s tweets, Instagrams and posts were aggregated through #HTCOne.

Beautiful, Rock Your Body, Incredible, She’s Not Me, Money Maker, Can I Have It Like That.. Pharrell basically took us back in time through all of his hits. He ended the night with ‘Get Lucky,’ which he sang over and over again. I had my fingers crossed for Daft Punk, but they didn’t show. Even still, Pharrell’s live, uncensored lyrics trump the radio edit. Here is the one minute teaser Daft Punk and Pharrell released during Coachella. All ready to party, decked out in Saint Laurent!

Daft Punk is back, all dressed in Saint Laurent:

 

Saint Laurent designer Slimane designed helmets and glitter jackets for the electronic duo and created a short film for the musical duos comeback. The Saint Laurent Music Project has made waves in the music and fashion scene.. lets see what else Slimane has up his sleeve in an effort to rebrand YSL/SL.

Both band and designer are on the path to modernize their brands. I’d say they’re on the right track. Who doesn’t love a Star Wars-esque feel?
