Highsnobiety Won't Share This Sweet New Era Hat

Our friends at Highsnobiety just put together their own New Era 59fifty caps, and I've gotta say, I wish I could get my hands on one of these.  They only created 44 of the black on black hat, and gave them to friends and members of the highsnobiety team.  They should look into a bigger release in my opinion.  Check it out here.

Conde Nast Ends Its Internship Program

The world of interning can be a tough one.  Trading time and effort, hard work and terrible hours, for a minimal stipend (if any) and experience your industry of choice can sometimes be one's only option of growing into a potential job.  I have had experience in this are from working in the film industry, lugging heavy equipment, working long hours, and making $50 per day.  It is tough, and it seems that some former Conde Nast interns felt it was so bad they needed to sue the company because of how they were treated during their time with them.  This week Conde Nast decided it was time to cut their loose ends, and have ended their internship program for 2014.  Check out the full article online at The New York Post.
