For Summer 2009, the label Romance Was Born have looked to the seashore- and particuarly shells for their inspiration. Luke Sales and Anna Plunkett, the Australian brains behind this label both met while studying at East Sydney Tech then after both entering a European fashion contest together as competitors they decided to launch Romance Was [...]
It’s really cool to see a designer bridge the gap between streetwear and high fashion, It’s even cooler to see it presented on the catwalk at a fashion week - It’s just not something you see very often.
Currently theirs a huge saturation in the streetwear market with everyone producing T-shirt lines and very rarely making [...]
Father and son line, Casely Hayford is a thoroughly English label. If I ever decide to go shooting Pheasants with high society I think I’m going to have to be kitted out in their 60% classic english, 40% streetwear inspired line.
They’re serious about keeping to the classic Savile Row craftsmanship techniques; I’d say it certainly [...]
I’ve only slightly been keeping track of Japan Fashion Week since it started last Monday in Tokyo, but for me the highlight has to be Gentaro Noda’s label, ‘Heath‘.
Gentaro is a Central Saint Martins Menswear graduate, who since graduating has moved back to Japan where he then went on to launch his first line named [...]
It looks like NY based Libertine have looked to public schoolboys for their SS09 collection. There’s a lot of fine details on most of the garments such as the lapel detailing above, which for me really pulls the collection as a whole together.
SS09 is way stronger than their AW09 (check that out at mens.style) which [...]
The Japanese brand, Mercibeaucoup recently revealed their AW09 collection. You can certainly tell this is going to go down well in Japan, check out any of the JP streetwear blogs and you see these kind of ideas all over the place. The collection on a whole is great, although I couldn’t seriously imagine wearing more [...]
Christopher Lee Sauvé, the New York based artist recently had a photo shoot for his Spring range. He’s currently most known for his ‘Save Anna’ shirt after the whole thing last year about the possibility of Anna Wintour being replaced at American Vogue.
Out of the whole current collection, I don’t think there’s one T-Shirt that [...]
Katie Eary is a 25 year old Royal College of Art MA graduate currently based in London. She had an installation at Fashion East last month along with Jaiden rVa James and Sibling.
Her graduate collection last year had the same military feel, this time around it’s more about British royal wear. Being a big fan [...]
Illionaire are another Australian based label by the designers Ben Woodcock and Kat Grace. Apart from having some amazing product photography, they also pull of a fine collection of Mens and Womenswear. I especially love the fitted mens suit pants, very nice.
I can see various elements of the different era’s coming through in this collection. [...]
Long Clothing are a newly launched unisex T-shirt label from East London with one basic concept; Long T-shirts with a skinny fit that can also be worn as dresses.
The prints are purposely simple to give more emphasis on the cut of the T-shirt, which for me works perfectly. Personally, I’d well rather wear something like [...]
