Cory Kennedy+KAWS?



Maybe it’s the fact that I just woke up and did so on the wrong side of the bed but when I got on my computer I came across this cover of Jalouse mag and got annoyed. Apparently the cover photo is of the L.A. socialite Cory Kennedy photoshopped with a KAWS bendy character and his signature gloves. I find the image annoying basically because of a personal strive I have with how something totally irrelevant like Cory Kennedy has been associated with 'street culture'.

-In the past year I’ve noticed how the dominant forces in youth street culture have become the Urban or Hipster/Electro scenes. It kind of makes me wonder if the culture has seperated within itself. Has it lost its true meaning or just clinging on to it?
