Guilded Age’s concept of casual luxury stems from designer, Stefan Mijanic’s long history working for Calvin Klein and others over the past 15 years. Today, under the Guilded Age flag, Mijanic’s reaching back to the big shops with his forthcoming collaboration with UNIQLO developing a fresh organic cotton based line that has heaps of Spring style. Utilizing a variety of colors options, the collection is fresh and ready to wear. Look for it at UNIQLO at the latter end of April.

More musical acts get into the mix with A.P.C. for their line of Band T-Shirts. In the words of Jean Touitou himself, “Stemming from what we consider to be a new cultural and  musical trend, a few bands (Housse De Racket, Koko Von Napoo, The Teenagers) asked to join forces with A.P.C. for a limited edition of t. shirts, and here is the result.” They will be available as of April 15th at the Los Angeles and New York A.P.C. shops and online.

Men.style brings some of the first full looks at the forthcoming Martin Clothing which is catered to cyclists. “his fall sees the debut of Martin, a rider-targeted new line from longtime Nice Collective collaborator Michael Martin—little surprise, given he hails from that preeminent bike town, San Fran. What’s more surprising are the clothes themselves: sharply tailored basics with features like reflective bindings under the seams for rolled-up pant legs, elasticized pull-cord cuffs for keeping shirtsleeves in place…”

Keep your flowing mane untangled and fight off violent attack with a single object, a knife comb. Two designs, the “comb-at” by Lorenzo Damiani and “combmando” by Studiobo, operate under this premise. Look good, live dangerously. Can’t really see 007 with one though. (via DB).

Check out “comb-at” after the jump.

While Dries Van Noten always have interesting collections and we are fans of their footwear, sometimes their shoes can step a little too far into the leftfield for some. Their AW09 collection looks to continue this, with new versions of those contrast oxfords that attracted so much hate – we still stand by us featuring them -  when we featured them a while back. They’ve also included some tasselled loafers, crocodile skin-effect oxfords and laceless brogues.

Check back later on this week for a look at the eyewear and check after the jump for the rest of the collection.

Designed by Renato Gschwend the IziBi Folding Bicycle is built with a single front and rear suspension. The front of the bike slides into the back half which then can be unlatched and folded. The frame is constructed with a carbon fiber reinforced polymer and the drive system of aluminum. (via Yanko).

We’ve been featuring a lot of Acne’s SS09 collection here lately and for good reason – it’s excellent. This parka is another piece that we feel deserves coverting. If you’ve been following the trend news you’ll know that blues are in this season but we feel this is a case of the Emperor’s new clothes – when has blue ever been out of fashion? That aside, our only problem with this coat is that it seems slightly too long to truly be a summer piece. If you don’t mind the length, get it from Farfetch.

Check after the jump for detailed pictures.

The fine folks over at Style Salvage have put us on to the news that Oki-Ni are planning a new archive feature. The plan with the feature is to offer customers a chance to take a thorough look at a designers history and also see some key pieces from their previous collections. Their first archive feature will be on Raf Simons (his hoody from AW06 is pictured above) and they will be adding new designers monthly.

Take a look at how the feature will look after the jump.

Our sister site Highsnobette turns us onto west Coast designers, William Anzevino and Richard Florence, of Anzevion & Florence. “For Autumn 2009 their collection features pieces showcasing their artistic manipulation of fabrics and textures.” Look for collar and piping details, raw denim jackets, cropped blazers, and more. The price point is well set for any budget.
