Mark McNairy for Engineered Garments Long Wing Boots

19 August 2010, 16.11 | Posted in Shoes | 1 comment »

Selectism - mark-mcnairy-engineered-garments-longwing-boot-01

You couldn’t make up a more blogtastic collaboration than this one. It’s basically the blog version of the Expendables (except no one’s on steroids – we think). So what about the boots themselves? Well, we like them. The use of an slightly different shade on the leather sole is a nice touch and using both grain and calf leather gives it a little edge. The height of the boot will be a bit shocking to anyone not used to boots that high, but aside from that it’s a great, timeless boot (and not that new school, not so timeless kind of timeless either).

Won Hundred Plaid Shirting for Autumn/Winter 2010

selectism - Won Hundred Plaid Shirting for Autumn/Winter 2010

Taking a quick break from highlighting the futures market, we take a look at the autumn/winter 2010 shirting collection from Won Hundred. The Danish brand happily plays with pastel tones – green, blue, purple, and red the chosen flavors.

Minimally detailed, the shirts have a single button enclosure to the chest pocket, a pocket that sits nicely along the full plaid lines of the shirt body.

A look at the autumn/winter 2010 Won Hundred shirts in every color and detail after the jump.

twist table 01 curatedmag Twist Tables by Formstelle for Zeitraum

Furniture news and views from Curated.

The Twist table collection was designed by German studio Formstelle for Zeitraum. I love the angular flow of the legs, which have terrific depth and a nice taper running from top to base. The tables (and I’m only showing one here) can be made in American Oak or Walnut.

Alden Lace Up Boots

Selectism - alden-lace-up-boots-01

We’re continuing our ‘we wish it was Autumn’ series with these Alden for Museum Ark make-ups. Shoe obsessives (like us) are already thinking about winter boots – preferably the kind that can deal with a bit of rain, sleet and snow. These Alden’s would do the trick, although you’ll need to get your proxy on (and have rather small feet) to be able to pull the trigger on these. (Museum Arks)

Take a leap to see more shots.

T By Alexander Wang Bomber Jacket

19 August 2010, 10.30 | Posted in Fashion | No comments »

selectism - alex-wang-bomber-jacket-01

So this Alex Wang menswear line is going pretty well isn’t it? We had our suspicions that it’d be overpriced tripe when it was first announced, but it’s not bad at all. Take this bomber jacket for instance. It’s simple, wearable and at $175, it’s on par with any boring coat you could get at J. Crew. (Opening Ceremony)

01. Puma salutes the ‘after hours athlete’ (above)

“Following a summer of slick and snazzy sports ads celebrating athleticism in various forms (though mostly football), Puma has released this spot championing the ‘after hours athlete’, fuelled on beer and kebabs rather than Lucozade and half-time oranges… The ad is created by Droga5 ad agency in New York, and directed by Ringan Ledwidge.” (CR).

02. ‘Fish Forms: Lamps By Frank Gehry’ Opens Aug. 29 At Jewish Museum

“The Jewish Museum will present a selection of colorful, luminous lamps designed by internationally renowned architect Frank Gehry in “Fish Forms: Lamps by Frank Gehry,” on view from August 29 through October 31. This exhibition also explores the significance of fish imagery in Gehry’s work. The lamps will be displayed in near darkness to create a gallery of glowing sculptural fish lit from within.” (Bee).

03.  Nicolas Anelka laughs at ‘nonsense’ 18-match French ban

“Nicolas Anelka says he is “laughing” after being banned for 18 games by the French Football Federation (FFF) over his conduct at this summer’s World Cup.” (BBC).

04. Kings Of Leon turned down ‘Glee’ and ‘Ugly Betty’ slots

“Kings Of Leon have revealed they turned down having their music used in the TV show Glee, as well as a cameo in Ugly Betty.” (NME).

Selectism - Lanvin Autumn/Winter 2010 Accessories

Now for a break from heritage and vintage for somethings more future perfect. “Today we take a closer look at the accessories line-up of the new Lanvin Fall/Winter 2010 Collection. Next to bags, the French fashion house also presents cuff links, pins, bow ties, ties and more. We love the innovative take on some of the pieces, including both patterns, materials and embroidery details. The above weekender bag is for definitely the stand out piece, as we have never seen one before”

Selectism - B:Scott "Big" Leather Bags for Spring 2011

The next round of looks from Vegas market week will heavily revolve around bags and accessories (warned). We will start it off with some of the biggest leather bags we caught at (capsule) show from B:Scott. When we say big, we mean it. Like oversized, wide, and heavy. Remember, these B:Scott bags are all leather. More to come…

Vegas | John Bull Spring 2011

Selectism - John Bull Spring 2011

The surprise of the (capsule) show in Las Vegas for me was easily the appearance of Japan’s John Bull line. As we mentioned back in July 2009, John Bull simply builds excellent garments for both men and women. Unfortunately, show floor images will never do the line justice and for this reason we’ll be coming back with much better looks into their Spring 2011 collection. For the moment, we’re share a few views. The wash and finish on all these garments sells them. Notw how the yarn naturally twists these shirts.
