CAMO is a brand we first got in touch with during Bread & Butter Winter 2009. From our first looks at the line, we knew CAMO would quickly move from street fashion to a modern menswear centric audience. The Italian startup continues to get move towards this with their “Horses” collection for Spring/Summer 2010. Dig through the looks and discover a variety of polo, knits, and t-shirts that are fitted against fitted trouser shorts. We are certain there is more to come from CAMO.

The collection which arrives in stores around the beginning of September. “ASOS melds old-world sensibilities with new-world fabrics to create a vibrant and versatile collection that consists of tweeds, corduroy, wools and denim. In the way of colors, the collection is lively yet maintains a consistency that allows for garments to be mixed and matched effectively without being shocking or over-the-top – a healthy blend of style and innovation.”

After some local legal rambling in Japan, Jil Sander has announced the formal name for their upcoming collection for UNIQLO, +J. The two brands “had to find a creative detour around the fact that fellow Japanese firm Onward Holdings Co. Ltd. owns the designer’s former fashion house and retains commercial rights to her full name.” The +J Collection will show itself at UNIQLO flagship stores and on the label’s online store. No date yet folks. (wwd)

Here at Selectism, we love Connecticut and we especially like to celebrate the great states accomplishments in craft, invention, and manufacture. Despite what you may think about CT today, there is no doubting the pivotal role it has played in the history of American production product. Picturing Victorian America: Prints by the Kellogg Brothers of Hartford, Connecticut, 1830-1880, covers just one small chapter in that history. The Kellogg family maintained a lithography for over four decades, opening five years before Nathanial Currier opened up in New York. Aside from the glorious history of this commercial artists, the book is a grand collection of beautiful works of art. Out now from University Press of New England.

The National Watch & Clock Museum is celebrating the History of the James Bond Timepieces with an exhibit opening next summer. This will be the first comprehensive showing all the timepieces found in the legendary spy film series including the original Rolex Explorer worn by the Bond creator himself,  Ian Fleming.

“This is the first time that Ian Fleming’s watch has been exhibited in the United States. The watch was recently on display at the Imperial War Museum in London, featured in an exhibit on the life and work of Ian Fleming. Fionn Morgan, Ian Fleming’s stepdaughter, states “Ian would have enjoyed the idea of displaying his own Oyster Perpetual as part of an exhibition of James Bond watches…It is wonderful to see the James Bond legacy presented through the watches that this character has worn… Collectors and the public will learn a lot through this exhibition.” (timezone)

Bruce Weber translates his unique style of photography for Moncler’s Fall Campaign. Like many, we loved his recent work for A.P.C. and are excited to see his latest with outerwear brand. WWD explains more. “Moncler, for one, has hatched an unusual fall advertising campaign that stems from the new friendship between Remo Ruffini, Moncler’s chairman and creative director, and Bruce Weber.” Take a look at the ball those young men are rolling up the hill.

Kiki Van Eijk’s Scissor Chair strips the usual bulk of a rocker down to bare linear essentials. The chair is produced for Skitsch of Italy. Scissors adorn the upholstery, a hallmark of designer Eijk’s work. (via Daily Icon).

Leatherman gets old school with their Damascus Steel “Wave” Multi-tool. How old? Well, old enough to be used back in 1100’s by Middle Eastern swordmakers who argued that their hot forged style of sword making yielded a stronger and sharper tool when compared to those Euro blades. Leatherman pulls this heavy metal into a 1000 unite run of the Wave by making the durable even more rugged. I have to give Leatherman major props for making the Wave look great in photos. (notcot)

We’re not done with Bread & Butter previews yet. Gilded Age showed at the most impressive room in the whole show, which had Red Wing, Filson, Nigel Cabourn and G.A all packed into a tight space. It was almost enough to make you forget about the soul-destroyingly huge Ed Hardy stand.

Gilded Age’s SS10 collections looks to be a continuation of what they’ve become known for, featuring acres of check shirts, lightweight knitwear and a hooded top I’d actually consider wearing. Take a look at the collection after the leap.
