Lou Dalton Fair Isle Scarf

20 August 2010, 13.30 | Posted in Accessories | No comments »

Selectism - lou-dalton-fair-isle-scarf-01

Is it silly to be looking at Fair Isle scarves in the midst of August? As we’re doing just that, we’re gonna say no. As the kids probably wouldn’t say, we’re feeling pattern mixing for the winter, so a fair isle scarf is a nice and easy way to get it started. If it was up to us, we’d wear this with either a check/floral patterned shirt, chunky cardigan and a nice worn-in pair of jeans. Not that we’ve thought about this. (Oki-Ni)

Put A Egg On It

Selectism - IMG_5094

Magculture turns us onto Brooklyn based food magazine, Put A Egg On It. According to Magculture, it focuses on the social enjoyment of food as opposed to endless recipes you’ll never make. Between this, Fire & Knives and Apartamento, it looks like there’s a new set of magazines that loves food, but in an entirely different way to the food mags of old.

Take a leap to see more spreads from the magazine.

Selectism - Lake Champlain Chocolates

01. Half Pint Glass Creamer

“Hark back to the good old days when glass was delivered and stored in glass bottles with the Half Pint Glass Creamer. Though this version, available at Fred Flare, boasts an old-meets-new design, as it’s molded after the paper cartons we use today. Perfect for entertaining or coffee breaks at work, it will give sugar a hand by making your preferred drink or snack a little sweeter.” (incrediblethings)

02. Redesigning Money

Dowling Duncan say they conducted extensive research on how people deal money and discovered that transactions are almost always carried out vertically. It’s true: How often do you hand someone a bill clutching the center widthwise? How many money machines accept cash horizontally? The new orientation would obviously take some getting used to, but in Dowling Duncan’s view, it’s ultimately more instinctual…” (joshspear)

03. Lake Champlain Chocolates (above)

“”Place Creative Company of Burlington VT created the packaging design and marketing material for the special edition chocolate bar. Capturing the right balance was an interesting design challenge. ‘Grace wanted something that felt like a piece of classic rock memorabilia – taking that idea and making it look delicious was a lot of fun’ said Keri Piatek, Design Director at Place Creative.” (dieline)

04. Timba’s Illustration Department

“If we did anything with print magazines (if you can remember what those are), Timba Smits would most certainly illustrate the covers. Timba’s Illustration Department is a collection of his illustration works from Computer Arts Projects, Street Studio, Vampire Roller Babes, Beastie Boys, and the list goes on.” (coolmaterial)

Seen before on our brother site, the McNairy for Bass Weejun collection takes the MM aesthetic and applies “premium” leathers it to classic silhouettes. Our favorite would be the suede varieties seen above applied to the “decker.”

Selectism - Krane Washed Leather Bags for Spring 2011

The washed leather backpack (above) from Krane is semi-part of their Spring 2011 collection – unless you live near a Barneys, Japan location where it will drop a bit early (in about a month). The washed leather has a unique look and feel that convinces you to treat it like a bag should be treated and used.

Selectism - Henrik Vibskov Wood Bead Laptop Case

This is how the latest creation from Henrik Vibskov for Spring 2011 was described to me. “Why not get a massage while you work on your laptop?” Truth. The wood bead (rattan style) laptop case doubles as a back or seat massager. Serious business.
