J.Cole Cole World: The Sideline Story Cover x Work Out Video
J. Cole shows his love for basketball and the ladies in the eagerly-awaited video for “Work Out,” the first single from his Roc Nation debut Cole World: The Sideline Story (Sept. 27). The laid-back clip opens with the ’80s baby singing Paula Abdul’s “Straight Up” on the basketball court before grabbing the attention of some fine females passing by. He takes a liking to one girl, getting flirty with her at a party while sipping Hennessy.
The video was originally shot in L.A. in June, but was delayed because Cole wasn’t happy with the first edit that leaked and wanted to film new scenes in Brooklyn.
P.s.
For this week’s Any Given Sunday installment, Jermaine lets loose the album cover for his Roc Nation debut, Cole World: The Sideline Story which will be hitting stores on September 27th. Art Direction and Design by Alex Haldi for Bestest Asbestos and Photography by Leann Mueller.
COS 2011 Fall/Winter Collection
H&M high-end retailer COS (Collection of Style) unveils the lookbook for its Fall/Winter 2011 collection. The line takes on a designer look with a great range of different styles including suits, outerwear, knits and various accessories. Style Salvage breaks it down: “Taking inspiration from geometrics and architecture, the AW11 collection offers a clean and understated look that is so typical of COS. However, the signature style has evolved through a fascination of vintage ski and sportswear. With appreciative nods to Simons and Zuchelli, highlight pieces incorporate bonded foamy fabrics and neoprene to stunning effect whilst the autumnal friendly hues that hum throughout leave me reaching for my wallet.”
