Vivienne Westwood’s Anglomania line recently teamed up with denim experts Lee for a capsule collection. The Anglomania line takes its inspiration from the Westwood archive, referencing her collections from the 70’s and 80’s whilst using some of the cuts that made her popular in the first place. There’s four styles of jeans and some denim shirts to compliment the collection, which will be released in July.

Take a leap to see the rest of the collection.

Continuing on our t-shirt fetish, here’s an alternative to the plain tees out there. Graphic print tees have (rightly) got a bad rap lately, but there’s still a few companies doing them right. Passarella Death Squad (obviously) are one of them, and here’s a shirt that one of us actually has in their closet right now. Just don’t wear it when we do and we won’t have any problems. (Coggles)

We’re a little weather obsessed at the moment but, at this awkward time for dressing, can you blame us? While it’s not quite t-shirt weather where we reside, here’s a pick for you folks in sunnier climates. A navy tee is a nice alternative from the usual white tee and you can able to wear it with white jeans without looking like the man from Delmonte. (South Willard)

01. Anatomy of a Benjamin (above)

“Last week, the Treasury Department introduced its new $100 bill, a redesign intended to frustrate high-tech counterfeiters when it goes into circulation Feb. 10.” (NYT).

02. Sailing beauty by Claesson Koivisto Rune

“When it comes to design designers themselves are very hard critics. There are however, certain exceptions which always break the rules and these usually are the cases for the well known ‘soft spots’. These vary from one person to the other but mainly they deal with factors such as cars, motorcycles, high end hi-fi systems, art works and collector item objects. At this point I would like to state that the description ‘I’ is not one that I like and have ever used in these articles. However in this factor it has to be used as what I am writing about has hit my personal design factor inspiration ‘soft spot.’ It is none other then the sexy, sharp, smooth and dynamic edginess of a sailing yacht.  I find that the highest form of exclusive high end design is derived from yachts and is my prime inspiration source. When Anoushka Hempel designed the Beluga in the 90’s we were all looking with great amazement. A perfect match of a detailed designed sailing yacht in combination with a high end design interior. When I was shown the images of this sailing boat which you are about to see l I was more then inspired I was excited and aroused designly speaking.” (Yatzer)

03. Cook the Book: Lobster Rolls

“There’s something about the high-low combination of the Lobster Roll that has always appealed to me. Lobster, a classically decadent and pricey ingredient is served in a lowly hot dog bun, garnished with nothing more than some mayonnaise and butter. It’s also a fiercely regional sandwich, with New England written all over it. There’s the abundance of lobster paired with the uniquely New England top-sliced hot dog buns. But truth be told, for as much as I’ve enjoyed the idea of lobster rolls, I’ve never experienced one for myself.” (Serious Eats).

04. Aural Secs: Usain Bolt’s 8.79 Explained With Music

“Usain Bolt once again did something ridiculous, this time running an 8.79 anchor leg in the 4×100 at the Penn Relays. And once again, we illustrate how fast this is with a snippet of music.” (Deadspin).

Valet works up a nice feature today showcasing a fine run of swimsuits for the season. Their guide should be a solid starter for those looking for an array.

HS breaks down some new one offs from the Maison Martin Margiela house. “The classic Russian Matryoshka doll is stripped to the bare minimum, in stark white, with nothing more than the MMM detailing on the bottom. Authentically made in Russia.”

Wallpaper* points us at an interesting poster book from Paul Rennie. “Modern British Posters explores the interaction between modern art and graphic design in Britain throughout the twentieth century. A distinctive characteristic of modern society is the progressively more complete integration of art, design and architecture. The poster has been an integral expression of this phenomenon since its invention, in modern form, during the 1860s.”

This new Rado Chrono which made its appearance at Baselworld is getting shine on the watch blogs. Luxist gives their take. “The new Sintra Skeleton Automatic watch does skeletonization in a ‘Rado’ way.

The movement is also COSC Chronometer certified.”  111 units will be produced of the Rado Sintra Skeleton Chronometer.

Another bike post? Yes, absolutely.

All of us who regularly ride city streets face the consistent problem of where and how to properly lock up. Jeff has documented his recent mishap, a fellow cyclist thinking it wise to lock up to a strangers frame. We’ve all locked to lamp posts, street signs, parking meters, and metal bike racks.

The folks at The Motion Lab recognize all the inherent problems of city cycling. Their Safe Bike Rack plays on the age old symbol of security – the pad lock. In addition, they’ve incorporated a plastic coating to make sure riders don’t scratch that fancy new paint job. (via Industrial Design Served).

Let’s hope we start seeing these on the streets soon. Until then, hit the jump and check out some more images of the Safe Bike Rack.
