A couple of weeks ago we launched a new project called Kartel. Kartel is an online magazine and blog dedicated to documenting the best in British street-culture, covering everything from fashion, music and design, to retailers, venues and events, not unlike similar US based sites.

We’ve been looking around for a site like this for a while and there seemed to be nothing like it, so Studio Eighty Six thought why not get one going. Even in the short time its been running the site has had a huge amount of interest so far and we even managed to hook up with UK rapper Goldielocks for an interview.

The site is Wordpress based blog using a customised version of the excellent Grid Focus Theme by developer 5thiryone but not an awful lot of changes because the theme was perfect the way it was.

If UK street culture is your thing then check it out at www.kartelinc.co.uk.
