Berg & Berg unloads a slew of neckties for Autumn 2010 onto the scene. With a collection as wide as this, it can be difficult to pinpoint words or even favorites so I’ll leave that to you expert readers.

Oki-ni has dibs on a unique pair of shades from Oliver Goldmsith (designed by Claire Goldsmith) for the J.W. Anderson collection. “A pair of amazing show sunglasses produced in collaboration with Oliver Goldsmiths. Inspired by vintage frames belonging to the designer’s grandfather; seen here in a tortoiseshell frame with purple lenses.”

(L-R: Tim Soar, Unconditional)

The fashion calendar hasn’t made sense to us for a while so it’s only natural that someone would try to shorten it. Selling pieces straight from the runway has been an idea that was flouted around for a few years but, possibly due to Oki-Ni’s success with JW Anderson’s collection last season, it’s appearing like a viable option. ASOS are the latest retailer to take advantage of people’s lust for fashion, teaming up with several leading British designers to sell pieces directly from the runway. Involved in the project are Carolyn Massey, Tim Soar, James Long, Katie Eary & Unconditional (the latter’s pieces are already available on the site). So, with LFW’s menswear day happening as we type, we’ve interviewed each designer to gauge their thoughts on the project.

Take a leap to see our Q&A’s with each designer.

This video is lovely. Here’s what they say, “We shot this for Scott Ridleys/You Tube’s “One Day” competition. We had some new camera’s we wanted to test out, a 7D and some Go Pro’s. So we decided to go for a bike ride…”

They are Skeleton Key and during the ride they check out some Deus motocycles and generally have an ace time.

Pretty much what we’d like to be doing on a Wednesday.

You can’t get more blogtastic than Junya Watanabe right now. He combines several key elements (workwear influence, from Japan, unaffordable) that makes him irresistible to the blog world. Here’s something else of his that you can lust over. And at £965, that’s probably all you’ll be doing with it. (End)

01. Shiv Temple / Sameep Padora & Associates

“Designed in dialogue with the priest and the people from surrounding villages the temple design is a collaborative effort. Built through ‘Shramdaan’ (self build) by the villagers, this temple was constructed on a shoestring budget, using a local stone as a primary building block because of its availability from a quarry within 200 meters from the temple site.” (archdaily)

02. Body art around the world

“Decades, Chris Rainier has traveled around the world photographing body art — from tattoos to piercings to scarification — in a variety of cultural contexts. He’s visited LA gangs, hill tribes in New Guinea, the Mentawa of the Indonesian island of Siberut, and countless other locales to understand how and why they modify their flesh, and document the processes and results.” (bb)

03. Woodsman Axe Coffee Table

“”Woodsman Axe Coffee table” by London designer Chris Duffy. Together with the “Brothers Grimm”, his work is inspired by the Little Red Cap tale and will be exhibited at 100% Design during London Design Week.” (notcot)

04. Dictaphone Parcel (above)

“Dictaphone Parcel is an animation based on a sound recorded with a dictaphone travelling secretly inside a parcel. As the hidden recorder travels through the global mail system, from London to Helsinki, it captures the unexpected. We hear a mixture of abstract sounds, various types of transport and even discussions between the mail workers. The animation visualizes this journey by creating an imaginary documentary.”

Oatmeal is a fine color for Autumn, don’t you think? Ralph Lauren offers their take on the toggle sweater. “Designed in a soft blend of wool, silk and alpaca for ultimate comfort, our hand-knit sweater is finished with an intarsia-knit design and wood buttons at the neck for heritage style.”

“If you were at the NATIVE SON Spring 2011 show, you were lucky enough to be the first to catch the debut of the second short film that designer Kyle Fizgibbons made in correlation with his line. If not, you can catch it when it debuts to the masses later this week. Our very own Mike Elmquist, the triple threat sales associate/model/budding filmmaker made this behind the scenes video to take us through their day on set and give you a taste of what’s to come for SS11!” (oc)

Some new shades from the MMM house (reworked for the season). “Playing with two tone mirrored effect lenses, the Incognito Assemblé sunglasses from Maison Margiela are made by assembling two sorts of frames. Made in a collaboration between MMM and reputed italian company Marcolin, these line 8 hybrid shades pick up on the classic aviator style and are available in both black and tortoise shell acetate outer half frames with plated or gold metal trim inside halves.” Porvacao has them.
