Earlier this month, the folks over at (Capsule) held their international trade show of up- and- coming- designers right in our Lower East Side neighborhood. Besides showcasing what’s of the moment in unisex shoes and apparel, the event also brings together some of the most interesting players in independent art and publishing. While over the summer they set up a temporary gallery and zine making station in conjunction with Modular Records and Dossier Magazine, this time around they turned the show into a neighborhood party by re-teaming up with superfuture to offer deals and drinks to all those in attendance. Two days, two locations, and one after party later it’s become clear- this spring we can look forward to a minimalist, pared-down look featuring simplicity and bold shapes. However, we at Dolce Vita already knew the beauty of less-is-more and our spring arrivals (which come in monochromes of black, white, pink, brown, and silver ) are made for everything from lounging at a neighborhood get together, to event-hopping in the streets of NYC.

We love Noah Davis’ new show “The Forgotten Works”, which opened at Roberts and Tilton last week.
Davis has created new large scale paintings with a similar palette of the late Richard Diebenkorn, combined with contemporary imagery and an unsettling narrative quality. His show is up until February 20th in Culver City. If you’re in town be sure to check it out!

Experience our latest obsession: Nosaj Thing. ‘Nosaj Thing’ is 24 year old California native Eric Chung, whose innovative blend of sonic, bass-heavy beats and funky everyday noises (think peeling of masking tape and jingling change) has put him in the ranks of Flying Lotus, Daddy Kev, Jeremy Ellis and other underground hip-hop locals. His premiere album, ‘Drift’ earned a 7.9 rating on Pitchfork and has piqued the interests of devout FlyLo fans. Nosaj Thing is currently touring till late February up and down the west coast (he hits Seattle 2/10!) and is playing for Daedelus – the two of them are certain to make for a great show!
