New Linde Werdelin SpidoLite SA Watches

Selectism - Linde Werdelin SpidoLite SA Watches

Linde Werdelin delivers another set of modern day watches for today’s man. Their latest timepieces  come in as part of the Spidolites “family.” “The new versions come in either all black titanium DLC coating or rose gold with black DLC details. Like the titanium version, the two new additions feature a 1970’s automatic movement modified in the Andersen Geneva Atelier by respected Danish-born watchmaker and founding member of the AHCI, Svend Andersen.” I love the name Spidolites. Sounds like some good guys in a Pixar movie. We’ll just call them good guy watches.

OntFront Spring/Summer 2010 Campaign

Selectism - OntFront Spring/Summer 2010 Campaign

Following up on the runway looks we posted not too long ago, comes the OntFront campaign. IF you thought there was a certain chivalrous identity during the runway, you were probably on point. “The Spring summer 09 10 collection is called Tonight is the Knight. OntFront created a 60 piece collection inspired by the bold iron armor of the middle ages. ‘Tonight is the Knight’ is designed to catapult the bold sophistication of the valiant medieval knight into comfortable gallantry for the modern-day street cavalier.”

Ships Harris Tweed Safari Jackets

Selectism - Ships Harris Tweed Safari Jacketsa

Some proper interpretations of the safari jacket from the Ships group in Japan. Harris Tweed is the choice fabric and it does the look well by providing a colder weather jacket for a usually hot for the equator type of wares. Ships tends to do things right, so we’re sure these pieces will last you some time. Herringbone is king. (zozo)

Featured on site will be some of the Paul Smith for Rapha Cycling shirts as well as a variety of t-shirts and totes to commemorate the exhibition and collaboration. Rouleur Magazine got involved by choosing the shirts in the exhibition. Well done by all parties on this one.

Bertus Armchair by Alain Monnens

selectism - Bertus Armchair by Alain Monnens

I’m developing a bit of an affinity for simple metal frames in furniture of late. The Bertus Armchair, designed by Alain Monnens for Durlet, fits the bill. A stitched leather seat slides into the frame, which provides both support and the armrests. The tilt of the armchair is also rather fetching. (via Daily Icon).

Paul Smith Cashmere Duffle Coat

19 October 2009, 17.30 | Posted in Fashion | 1 comment »

selectism - paul-smith-cashmere-duffle-coat

Here’s another entry into the duffle coat sweepstakes. Paul Smith is certified SL favourite, and coats like this are a reason why. It’s a nice cropped length and the navy colour lends itself for some eye catching colour combinations. The fact that it’s cashmere is something that Liberty have left out, but it goes a long way way to justifying the £620 price tag. (Liberty)

Abington Hiker Boot

selectism - abington-hiker-boot-01

Abington, Timberland’s upper class big brother label, has just dropped in at End. Using leather from Horween (the blogger’s choice of leather) and Vibram soles, these shoes are every details-obsessed blogger’s dream. And while we’re talking vibram soles, isn’t it odd that the term has become an offical blog buzzword?

The main problem with a boot like this is fitting it into their daily attire. While these can work with a pair of straight leg jeans, we’d steer clear of the Cheap Monday cuts. You don’t want to look like a hipster who just found workwear through Opening Ceremony – even if you did. (End)

You know the drill – more pictures after the leap.

Gucci Icon-Temporary | Flash Sneaker Store and Mark Ronson Sneakers

19 October 2009, 15.20 | Posted in Sneakers | 7 comments »

Gucci Icon-Temporary | Flash Sneaker Store and Mark Ronson Sneaker Collaboration

After reporting about the new Gucci Icon-Temporary initiative a while back, we can finally give you some more detailed information, along with more views at the footwear that will go on sale. Gucci’s Frida Giannini worked with Mark Ronson on this flash sneaker store concept that will be taking off in October 2009.

Together with Mark Ronson, Gucci worked on limited edition Gucci Ronson sneakers. At each destination of the flash sneaker store a new Gucci Ronson sneaker will be introduced, in addition to 18 sneaker styles in the Gucci Icon-Temporary sneaker collection. The collection overall consists of 16 men’s styles and 2 women’s styles, with each sneaker coming with a special Gucci silver or gold metal dog tag. Customers initials can be engraved onto customized leather tags on the laces. Also the packaging has been designed specifically for each city of the tour. On top of the special make-up and packaging, each Gucci Ronson sneaker will come with a 12-inch vinyl record with tracks selected by Mark Ronson.

The first Gucci Icon-Temporary store will debut at Crosby Street in New York City on October 23rd, with Frida Giannini and Mark Ronson attending the kick-off party. The store will open to the public on October 24th and will stay open for 2 weeks. In December the temporary space will move to Miami to coincide with Art Basel Miami and Design Miami and in 2010 the pop-up store will come to London and Tokyo.

More images of the limited edition Gucci Icon-Temporary Footwear follow after the jump.

Beatles to Bowie: The 60s Exposed

19 October 2009, 15.04 | Posted in Art | No comments »

selectism - Beatles to Bowie: The 60s Exposed

Newly opened at London’s National Portrait Gallery Beatles to Bowie: The 60s Exposed brings together portraits of the leading figures in pop music who helped form the vision of “Swinging London” in the decade. The exhibit proceeds chronologically, hinting at shifting sounds and fashions and examining the lasting legacy of the starts that emerged during the period. Worth noting is the comprehensive web component, which features solid text and some representative images from each year of the 60s. Certainly enough to amuse for a portion of this Monday.

The exhibition is open until January 24, 2009. Above is a detail of The Beatles by Robert Whitaker (1964).
