More from the ICON 4×4’s Jonathan Ward. Building off of episode one, “Icons & Derelict”  now moves onto “derelicts,” vehicles that retain their original look and “patina” but are outfitted with modern chassis, engines, and tech. An example in the video is a 1952 Chrysler Town and Country that was also featured in this article in Hot Rod Magazine. Gourmet put this video together.

Gourmet delivers a new video series, “Icons & Derelict” with the first episode featuring ICON 4×4’s Jonathan Ward. ICON 4×4 is an aggressive little company that delivers some very high end takes on the utility trucks. The price of gas aside, these little ICON tanks are beautiful.

CLAE Shoes shares with you all a recent video they produced during their last trip to Vietnam’s Ho Chi Mihn City, whee the line spent time signing off on their forthcoming Autumn/Winter 2012 collection. It very well captures the people, environment and streets of the city and surroundings.

Filmmaker Alex Prager and model Lara Stone get involved in the latest Mercedes-Benz brand video for the SL Roadster. Part of the German automaker’s Autumn/Winter 2012 “Icons of Style” campaign, the film puts model, Stone into a whirlwind ala Mary Poppins.

We’re not going to spend too much time describing this one. Michel Gondry’s very special version of Taxi Driver in 2.41 minutes starring himself, with a plot revolving around colouring pencils and multicoloured paint. You should probably press play.

Some nice video action from Secret Forts, a peek into the world of NY outerwear label Owner Operator. “Launching their second season of classically inspired, mountain ready outerwear, Owner/Operator, the New York based, two man Mountain apparel making team, continues to evolve both technically and design-wise.”  Simple technical-wear with a classic feel made by a couple of snowboarders. Good stuff.

Here it is: the Tom Ford’s interview on Oprah Winfrey’s new OWN Network. Follow Mr. Ford through his travels and fittings. Worth a viewing, but catch it before it disappears.

The final installment in Conversations in Modernism, part three sees writer/editor Jason Jules and artist Justin Gibbs sit at a wooden table and thrash out matters of style, art, architecture and the coming and going of trends. Jules edits UK Street Style and contributes to GQ Style. Gibbs creates pieces influenced by modernist structures in both 2 and 3 dimensions. Possibly our favourite of the series, much thoughtful chatter at the press of play.

Alexander Olch and TheCorner.com produced this new video short on how to tie Olch’s favorite necktie knot, the four-in-hand. Model Aurelie Claudel is clearly more beautiful than Olch, but we still hear him narrating this one. That’s ok.

Something a bit twisted this holiday season from Anthony Bourdain: the story of Krampus, the whip toting sidekick or Santa… It is a bit dark but viewable enough. If your children were to watch “Krampus Carol,” they would either be scared out of naughty or slightly upset. Heed cation.
