Rayban join forces with long standing fashion brand Brooks Brothers to create a really nice collab featuring Rayban’s two most iconic sunglasses styles the Wayfarer and the Aviator. Love the use of the ivy league stripe pattern on the inside of the frames.

So the mod look is back and back with a vengance… Stussy Deluxe has come together with classic british fashion label Fred Perry to create a unique blank canvas collection that celebrates British and 1970s American sports heritage and design.

The iconic Fred Perry shirt has been emblazoned with the established date of each brand, printed on the back in the style of a team players jersey. Also, on the summer sports influenced footwear style the Byron, fabrication includes mesh and tipping rib, for a fresh seasonal twist. Spacious holdalls and traditional barrel bags have been created in fine canvas and leather, sitting alongside a British made striped webbing belt in a new foray into accessories.

According to Stussy “The result is a collection that builds on traditional sports details to create something perfectly at home in a contemporary streetwear arena. Fashions may come and go, but style is timeless.” We like this collab and it is very on trend currently, especially if you are Stussy fan hailing from Manchester!

As a follow up to a recent post about the Stussy x Dickies collab that is just hitting stores, Chimp store in Leeds have done a killer window to promote the release…

Johnny Cupcakes, the label that started as a joke is as elusive as it is popular, and March saw the opening of their 4th store in Carnaby street, London. the queue was stretched around block and people travelled from far and wide to be at the opening. below is part 3 in the series of videos documenting the event.

Tanks and work shorts are the order of the day at the moment what with all this nice spring whether we are currently seeing. Volcom have just released the above in a press release highlighting so key pieces from their SS11 collection.

A nice addition to the SS11 Vans vault collection features a new “one Peice” construction for the Vans Authentic. it seems everything this season is slimmer and back to basics, we have already seen similar silhouettes from DVS, Circa and Supra and this update from Vans seems to fit in well. The uppers feature really nice leathers in two colours, coupled with all white foxing tape.

New from Supra footwear this season comes The Wrap in a quiver of colours this show is a step in a new direction for Supra. Not that they don’t make hi tops any more, however this is something for those guys who want something more understated.  Read the rest of this entry »

Judging by the last week it definitely seems like spring is trying it’s hardest to power through so what else could be more topically than a post about Volcom‘s new spring swim wear that should be hitting shops any day. This Spring season see’s the introduction of the distinctive Volcom “Shred It” group in their swimwear collection.

This collection consists of a one piece and a bikini style, for which the inspiration came from what is happening in denim-shredded, ripped and torn apart denim trend was translated to create this group. The fashion on the streets was transformed to style on the beach… Biker jackets are “in” and with that comes ripped tee’s and subsequently ripped jeans?? what just a minute is this the early 90′s… no, well thought i’d check, so odd, i had really bad deja vu there for a second!!

anyway, jokes aside we really like this concept and not seen much like it about yet. we also like the way the ripped effect on the one piece forms the Volcom stone logo. Look out for this one at all Volcom swimwear stockists.

The Lakai Manchester select flag ship model in the Lakai range is just starting to hit stores with 2 new colours for the spring summer 2010 line. Updates include a bright and fresh orange and white suede and a bit more sensible black charcoal suede. We love this Lakai style and these colours definitely don’t disappoint.

Given the attention Primitive is getting right now and the fact that the rubber player is fast becoming one of Nixon’s hottest styles these should be gone before you even noticed they were there!
