Acne John Pants

A rework on the long johns concept, Acne presents its AW10 version of the well know underwear staple but this time as an outerwear piece, that goes by the simple and not least appropriate name of John. This avant garde variation on a ski pant, features two side pockets to carry all your keys, cards and coins, and even has the classic front button opening for those of you with more conventional habits. A comfortable elastic waist with drawstring closing makes sure they’ll always stay in place and the wide ribbed hems are just right for tucking into boots. Nice!!…

Neil Barrett X Palladium Boots AW10/11

Known for covering almost anything with leather these days, Neil Barrett has joined forces with adventurer brand Palladium Boots to create a special edition replacing the usual canvas with, guess what?!,… leather. The boots keep their original go everywhere ultra-flexible sole made from a single piece of rubber, granting total movability as well as a noiseless walk (allowing you to sneak up on whoever you like…)
Maintaining their overall format and restless attitude, these high quality military boots just dropped in at the shop in black soft waxed leather and khaki nubuk suede. They also feature side snaps which allow them to be worn either up or folded down, accompanying your every mood.

Young Brideshead Revisited

Remember Charles and Sebastian from Brideshead Revisited? Remember also Sebastian’s inseparable companion Aloysius (his teddy bear)? No clues?!? Ok, we’ll explain. As our current Sale Window is now full of shopping crazed stuffed little friends and since when we first found this photo, the duo from 80s tv series was what instantly came to mind, we put the two ideas together and this is what turned out. About the photo itself, the young men’s eminent looks with flawless hair styles, formal attire and relaxed attitude enhanced further by the countryside estate backdrop, all contributed to our Brideshead Revisited imagery flashback. About the teddy bear, whatever, these days even Lagerfeld has one…

CK Banned Ad

Supposedly intended as “a message about the spirit, independence, and inner worth of today’s young people”, this CK ad campaign was highly polemic at the time. Today, fifteen years gone by, it still retains it’s original force. Considered gay by some or has having light porn references by others, this ad isn’t that far away from American Apparel or even Abercrombie & Fitch’s nowadays mainstream campaigns. Browsing thru our magazine archive, we can’t point out that many campaigns as being so influential as this one when it comes to fashion advertising.

Best of Season Recap… Paul Smith Swimming Shorts

While Sir Paul Smith was reportedly seen at the Tour de France riding his bike and reminiscing about the times when he was an intrepid cyclist, we were thinking of the swim trunks we featured earlier this season and how flowers are not just a girl’s thing… If you’re lucky, you can still find a pair or two of these on our Summer Sale.

I Can’t Stand Myself… Why?

Do you ever get the feeling not to be able to stand yourself for being so cool, while jerking around to the sound of repeated beats
and twitching guitars wearing dark suits with pale colored shirts and skinny ties? Well, some people do. We can only wonder why…

p.s. nice tie clip btw

Modern Love Runaway Clothes

Sometimes, and since the weekend’s so close, all we wanna do is put on a t-shirt, slip on a pair of trousers and… run the hell out of here!!!
On another note, and just in case you’re disappointed by our simplistic way of putting it, what we really meant was, sometimes all you need to look great is some simple clothes and the right attitude. Anyway, we’ll discuss that latter on when we introduce another of our new brands for next season… Until then, hasta la vista, Baby!
… by the way, this scene is from Leos Carax’s film “Mauvais Sang”. We’re gone…
