The Fashionisto gives us their prespective on the Spring/Summer 2010 collection from Christophe Lemaire. “Dressed in a serene color palette of whites, creams and blues, Christophe Lemaire refines his minimalist vision for the spring season. Ushering in a close-fitted, yet relaxed range, Lemaire continues the fusion of Western and Chinese design ideas that see to the construction of simple functional pieces. Finally, by concealing select buttons and zippers, a sleek finish is maintained with overall silhouettes that are representative of the modern man who desires both chic styling and practicality.”

Damn. It’s been 180 years already? Woolrich is pulling out two special edition jackets in celebration of almost two centuries worth of classic American products – from apparel and more. 180 years forces your competition to work hard to try and borrow from your original ideas. With the Stag and Ranch jackets for the event, they may have given them some more inspiration. (cs)

Word is starting to trickle in concerning a big layoff over in Levi’s Japan offices recently. Sources tell us that hundreds of  employees, including the entire LVC team, were let go as part of  Levi’s new “global strategy.” Remaining employees have been transferred to their Hong Kong office – Levi’s remaining Asian office. With most of the LVC line now being produced in the United States, and design coming from London, Amsterdam, and HK, we’re interested to see how this plays out for the Japanese market which in many regards has been leading the charge for the company. This will most likely not affect sales of Levi’s in Japan. (via ignatz krebs)
