Complex premieres its newest a celebrity interview series, “Complex Closets,” today giving viewers an exclusive look inside the closets of some of the most fascinating pop culture figures today. Hosted by Complex’s Joe La Puma, the series expands on the “Sneaker Shopping” franchise, the most popular sneaker style series on the web. In “Complex Closets,” La Puma visits the biggest names in music, movies, sports, and more to talk about the shoes that define their style. Today’s premiere features actor and comedian Nick Cannon giving an all-access look at his expansive collection of footwear, which ranges from customized classic sneakers to a pair of bedazzled loafers currently claiming the title of the world’s most expensive shoes.
On owning the most expensive shoes in the world:
“Obviously I’m an over-the-top dude, and I wanted to stunt. You win $1 million on America’s Got Talent if you win the show, so I was like, ‘Yo, I want to have a million dollars on each foot.’ It took a year and a half to make these, so I’ve been planning for so long. The goal is to sell them and donate all the proceeds to charity.”
On buying multiple pairs of Concord 11’s
“I had to get three or four pairs, because I knew these were going to be classics.”
On his gilded NBA All-Star Celebrity Game sneakers
“I didn’t score no points, but I looked good & that’s all that matters.”
On his Kuh-Vit custom sneakers
“They’ll take something that’s standard and throw some high fashion on it.”
On designing a pair of exclusive Wild ‘N Out Jordan’s
“I would ask [MJ], and he would tap me on my head and say, “Maybe one day.”
“Ever since I launched Wild ’N Out, it’s been my dream to have a Wild ‘N Out Jordan.”

It’s not often you get a new brand, with new stores in places around the world like Los Angeles on Melrose (per Essential Home Magazine ), plus a new movie to support it. But with the Harmonist that’s exactly what you get.
Says FilmFest.com, “Bruno Aveillan shot ‘Meet the Harmony’ for the new perfume Brand The Harmonist… at Festival de Cannes 2016 which the company is attending for the first time. ‘Meet the Harmony’, tells the love encounter between a man and a woman who will be guided and inspired by an alchemist of senses, a creator of harmony: The Harmonist. It is set in sober and eternal City of Paris, magnified by an elegant black and white treatment, Bruno Aveillan offers us a contemporary fable, modern yet poetic, with subtle emotions which resonate to surrealism, through the magics of special effects.
The sound track was composed by french icon Bruno Coulais.
Kate Hudson, Heidi Klum, Common, Orlando Bloom and Karolina Kurkova started their night at the launch party for The Harmonist, a Paris-based fragrance line based on feng shui and inspired by the elements of water, wood, fire, earth and metal. The maison de parfum spared no expense for the bash, taking over the beach venue in front of the Hotel Martinez, which was transformed into a Harmonist-themed nightclub with music by Martin Solveig and an exclusive performance by Jason Derulo.

For several generations, the Levi’s brand has used television commercials as a major vehicle to promote their popular jeans. Now they have turned to the Internet and Social Media to expand their reach, as well as to try a few new concepts, some with viral potential.
A popular new spot, often called ‘The Boyfriend,’ ‘Coffee,’ and the ‘The Morning After,’ is actually called “Beautiful Morning.”Set to Adrian Torres Pacheco’s song You Rascal You, it has a :30 second and 1 minute version, as well as other derivatives.
The spot is conceived and produced like short film with a dating-oriented storyline that some viewers may find familiar, it is charming, witty, and with a surprise ending that leaves the audience smiling.
The TASTE AWARDS took a moment to chat with Jen Sey, CMO at Levi‘s, about the inspiration and strategy for this piece.
TA: What was the creative inspiration for this video?
Jen Sey / Levi’s: We were inspired by the Levi’s advertising in our archives – the narrative structure of past 501 films in particular, where there was always a fun and sexy twist at the end. Films like “Laundrette” featuring Nick Kamen, which introduced the 501 shrink to fit in stonewash.
For the introduction of the 501CT, the latest twist on the original 501, we wanted to showcase the modern Levi’s guy. Our 501CT hero is cool and sexy, but turns out to be a really nice guy in the end as well. The perfect modern hero.
TA: How does it fit into the overall Levi’s brand campaign?
Jen Sey / Levi’s: One of the core tenants of the Live in Levi’s campaign is storytelling: all generations of our fans have stories to share, and that’s something that you’ll see coming to life throughout the campaign work. From the Live in Levi’s Project (where we share stories from our friends of the brand as a way to inspire fans to share their Levi’s stories with us), to the launch of the new women’s collection, where we partnered with Alicia Keys.
So for this season – that we’re able to connect with such a broad audience to celebrate Levi’s stories – we pivoted to use TV as a bigger storytelling platform.
TA: Who worked on the spot?
Jen Sey / Levi’s: The Levi’s Global Consumer Marketing Team and our advertising agency FCB West. And it was directed by Sara Dunlop.
TA: The video is in Macy’s stores and on YouTube. Where else can it be seen?
Jen Sey / Levi’s: On TV and cinema across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, as well as in our stores and on digital pre-roll globally.
It’s everywhere.
TA: Any plans with social media?
Jen Sey / Levi’s: The spot was teased through our global social channels encouraging and directing fans to see the full length on our Facebook and youtube channels. What’s great is that so many of our fans spread the word themselves by sharing on their social media channels.
