LANDED AT TOMBOY - SURFACE TO AIR

2011-04-07T15:56:00.000-07:00

Surfaced at TOMBOY yesterday!

Born in Paris in 2000

SURFACE TO AIR is a unique group operating in contemporary fashion, communication and film

At the beginning in the late 90’s Surface To Air consisted of a group of friends who wanted to work on projects they liked.

In the early 2000's Surface To Air was known for its' Shop/Gallery. In our space near the Louvre, memorable openings for Surface to Air exhibitions and publications were gathering global talents such as Bansky, Faile, Kenneth Cappello, Dash Snow, Cyprien Gaillard, ARE Weapons, Paul Sevigny, Gonzales, FEIST,...

Year after year, the team has grown into a multidisciplinary company
spanning across creative domains such as fashion, graphics, photography,
design, music, films… Today each company develops its own activity but
always within the Surface To Air vision.

Thank you notes

2011-02-04T16:42:00.000-08:00

We are delighted ESP No1 has arrived at TOMBOY.

We love the simplicity of ESP No1. Perfect shapes and organic cottons.

An Introduction to ESP

The ESP Institute is a New York City-based studio. We're a husband and wife duo rooted in music and design, and this is the home to our various projects.

Our debut collection entitled No.1 boasts modern unisex clothing for children, beginnning modestly with quality basics focused on classic styling, sustainability and versatility. The No.1 aesthetic is simply our answer to the challenge we’ve faced shopping for our own child, a difficult task when you seek sophisticated garments at reasonable prices. We want kids to look cool without overdoing it, so we offer streamlined and timeless adult silhouettes in miniature proportions, minding parents’ need for simplicity and convenience. This is a core range of premium denim, available in a variety of washes and finishes, coupled with a handful of tops constructed from ultrasoft Japanese cottons, manufactured locally with a keen eye for detail and craftsmanship. Our denim is available to stock year-round, and is seasonally complimented by knits, wovens and accessories. Sizes from newborn to 10 years.

Street Football - make your own

2010-10-16T15:18:00.000-07:00

http://www.streetfootballworld.org/press/downloads-en/juwala-ball-instructions

Football is big in Kenya, but not every child in the country is lucky enough to have a ball to play with. Despite this setback Kenyan kids are creative, especially when football is involved! Taking something they have in abundance in the suburbs of Nairobi – waste plastic – and turn it into footballs has become part of the game for many Kenyan kids. These footballs, hand-made out of used plastic bags and string, are known as ‘juwala’ (waste plastic) balls and one of them has now made an appearance on a big stage in world politics.

UN emphasises the importance of sport for development and peace
During his keynote address at the opening of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Congress in Copenhagen last week, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon presented an original ‘juwala’ ball from Kenya when he emphasized the importance of the links between sport, development and peace, especially in the slums of Africa.

Ban Ki-Moon’s ‘juwala’ ball was made by Peter Ndolo, a participant of streetfootballworld network member Mathare Youth Sports Association (MYSA). MYSA is a self-help youth sports and community service organisation working in the Mathare slums in Nairobi and has pioneered the links between sport, environment and development for over two decades.
