Visvim FW13 Collection

October 22, 2013 by rocky

This preview of Visvim’s Fall/Winter 2013 doesn’t introduce many surprising new styles but it does show the ongoing evolution of brand staples. As is to be expected there’s ton of great outerwear:from the M-65 style Kilgore jacket to the Gore-Tex Valdez fur-lined parka. The FBTs return in some very solid colorways and there’s some Skagways to please the sneaker crowd. Honeyee always does an excellent job at capturing the detail in product shots. The cowichan sweater near the end is a testament to how seriously Hiroki takes product manufacturing. Make sure you click through to see all the pieces.

Undercover Men’s SS14 Collection

October 21, 2013October 20, 2013 by rocky

Designers usually choose to add colors to their Spring/Summer collections and keep Fall/Winter collections monochromatic. Jun Takahashi reverses this trend with Undercoverism SS14. The collection is murdered out for the most part, and features a consistent shape; slim-cut long tops and jackets with skinny trousers or jeans. It seems like Jesus and the Mary Chain was an audio inspiration to the line with jackets emblazoned with ‘I’ll be a Plastic Toy’ and ‘Pyscho Candy’.

The collection shares much of the same DNA as the SS14 womenswear collection which was unveiled in Paris. The leather rider jackets here are excellent (as to be expected from UC) but there are some great looking basics in here as well (the longsleeves which fit slightly long and oversized come to mind). While leather accents on clothes is something the men’s market doesn’t need any more of, there’s plenty of that here too. All in all while presentation and styling seem a bit uninspired, there’s still plenty here that’ll worth buying come next year.

Goodhood FW13 “Them Bones” Lookbook

October 18, 2013 by rocky

UK based Goodhood Store kills it with the styling for their Fall/Winter 2013 lookbook. I spot a bunch of dope NEIGHBORHOOD pieces (including one of my denim jacket selections for the season) sprinkled in with stuff by Norse Projects, Junya Watanabe and of course the in-house Goodhood label. The UK e-retailer game is very strong right now and Goodhood is one of those outlets leading the pack. See more after the jump

Palace Skateboards x The Rig Out FW13 Editorial

October 15, 2013 by rocky

Palace Skateboarding has quickly risen the street/skate wear ranks through a combination of thoughtful product and hard-hitting skate videos. Coming off collaborations with Reebok and Umbro the line has continued to grow globally with it’s core skate audience as well as the fashion set. This editorial was done in collaboration with The Rig Out Magazine and features skater Lucien Clarke hanging around London. Most of the gear is standard skate fare: hoodies, t-shirts and caps but there’s also some inspired takes on everything from bucket hats to down jackets. While obvious comparisions to Supreme are inevitable for this label, I feel the British influence is enough to set it apart from what labels are doing here in the states.

You can purchase select pieces from the collection at Supply Australia.

Grind London FW13 for Breaks Magazine Lookbook

Grind London’s twitter page describes the brand as BADMAN ATTIRE and that is certainly a fitting descriptor for this excellent lookbook.

The shoot is featured in a fitting feature within the 5th issue of Breaks Magazine. You can buy the product online HERE.

SASQUATCHfabrix SS14 Summer Lookbook

October 7, 2013 by rocky

Japanese label SASQUATCHfabrix has one of the strangest brand names in menswear. This spring/summer collection is suitably quirky featuring slightly oversized t-shirts, jackets and hoodies in a color palette that traverses from off-whites and tans to blacks and deep blues. Also of note is that this might be one of the first lookbooks ever to effectively use a chainsaw. SASQUATCHfabrix isn’t the easiest brand to find in shops, so click HERE for a list of stockists.

DicE x Neighborhood FW13 Lookbook

September 29, 2013 by rocky

A capsule collection between motorcycle rag DicE Magazine and Neighborhood is launched with this lookbook. A familiar storyline plays out through the images, that of the all-american girl next door playing baseball, riding motorcycles and borrowing her boyfriends jacket (and not much more). If you’re not too distracted by the model you’ll notice the flannel caps, baseball jerseys and embroidered varsities from the collection. The girls in menswear thing isn’t going anywhere soon so see all the images from the lookbook below.

Nike GYAKUSOU Holiday 2013 Lookbook

September 29, 2013September 25, 2013 by rocky

GYAKUSOU is back for the colder months. Once again Jun Takahashi speared the design on this technical line for runners. To accompany the product shots , there are also these more stylized lookbook images featuring the clothes in action in a forest setting. The Holiday line seems to emphasize performance and technical features. The centerpiece of it is the Nike Aeroloft Vest is a lightweight layering piece that can be worn to maintain warmth overtop the Dri-Fit thermals, longsleeve and shortsleeve tops.

The collection also features these accesories: a Knit Cap, Thermal Running Gloves, and Dri-FIT Neck Warmer. Also on deck are 6 colorways of runners. Once again Jun chooses the Nike LunarGlide+ 5 and the Nike Lunarspider LT+ 3 but this time the colorsways are tonal in nature.

The LunarGlide+ 5 in tonal red and brown colorways come in men’s sizes while the women get the same brown colorway as well as a light grey colorway. The Lunarspider LT+ 3 will be offered in a blue colorway similar to last seasons offering and a light grey colorway. The 2013 holiday collection is set to launch at select stockists this October.
