The profile on this chukka from Gaimo Lina is a boxy one. The Spainish made shoe uses a sewn on sole made from jute – one of nature’s cheapest natural fibers according to Wikipedia. But that should not stop you from hitting up your proxy or hunting ‘em down domestic style. (zozo)

Ok. So the above the knee is not working for you. Sure doesn’t work for me neither but I think we can all get away with the second tier length shorts from Complex Geometries. “hese long shorts are a unique balance between techy and organic. Made from a coated rayon/linen blend which has waxy/rubbery finish and look. The top half shows the coated side out and the bottom half is the opposite, giving the two panels a contrast in texture while staying tonal.” I think this is the one. (blackbird)

An interesting take on the collarless shirt from Japan’s Number (N)ine. Made to be worn out, the beige, white, and lilac check features a button down front that stops at the waist. The tail on the back of the shirt is patterned in black. Check the photos for the details. Take it for what it is. (browns)

The time has arrived. Prada previewed their Autumn/Winter 2009 collection recently, and we highlighted some some of the more traditional footwear looks. But we missed the stud arrays that Men.style is showing us. Check the studded details on shoes, boots, and shirts in these looks. Be careful when you hug your gentleman in this shirt.

We hinted to this exhibition yesterday but Beinghunted gets it right with a feature on the 20th Anniversary Edition of C.P.

Thanks to websites like this one, the overall speed of the fashion world has increased dramatically – Hence the need of pre-collections. Pre-collections are usually pretty short affairs, but Rag & Bone have released a mammoth range that would dwarf some designers mainline collections. This is by no means the entire collection, – we think that some of the pieces would be lost in translation unless they were seen styled – so we’ve left quite a few out. Prices range from $235 for the chambray shirts (pictured above) to $695 for some double-breasted macs.

Take a look at the collection after the jump.
