More from Bread & Butter. “After Raf Simons, Rick Owens is the next high profile design to start working with Eastpak on a bag collection. The line stays very much in the beige and khaki tones in a hemp like material. Of course each piece features the collaboration logo tag. Bags in all sizes and for all purposes are available… They even made a jacket to complement the line.”

Some more from Dr. Martens in the form of the Yojhi Yamamoto Collection. One note, they are for women, but they’re worth a call out for their use of fabrics and color. More than interesting enough for our male readers. We’re hoping for a men’s collection from Yamamoto, please.

Japanese bag manufacturers Hakkin.it are well known for their quality construction and they’ve also collaborated with Puma in the past. While the style of tne bag isn’t as popular as totes and shoppers are, they still look good. This bag is lightweight and durable, and could be used as an overnight bag although it’d be a tight fit, depending on how big your shoes are. Get it from Style Cruise.

Creative director Masataka Matsumura displayed his Giuliano Fujiwara A/W 2009 collection in Milan this week, in what is his third year at the creative helm of the brand.

Highlights include a suit from flecked wool, a velvet jacket and a camel blazer. Check after the jump for the rest of the collection.

The recession has forced companies to watch their like-for-like sale like it was a Hip-Hop album in its first week. This has ultimately lead to some cost cutting procedures as labels look to only keep profitable arms of their label. Drapers reports that Burberry is shutting down its diffusion line, Thomas Burberry. There’s no word on which collection will be its last but it can be assumed that S/S09 will be its last season.

UK’s House of Holland brand has no problem puling the sheets off the designers banging out the high end looks we all so desire. Their t-shirt series of “Designers” show some of your favorites like Galliano, Elbaz, and others in the (semi)flesh. Nice looks Agyness. Yes, these are unisex shirts.
