A couple more from Spring 2011. “Antony Morato is a brand that states the vision of a changing market, in which the need to tell a life style is more important than the whims of an unconditioned “being trendy”. To this new generation of consumers (men between 18 and 35), the line offers a know how inherited from the main purveyors of the Italian History, faithfully opening the doors to a ‘new luxury era’ in which the quality/price ratio represents the main attraction in the customers’ eyes.” (thof)

The TO KI TO line (aka: The Beacon Heritage Collection) sets off proper for Autumn 2011. In our gallery, thanks to Men’s Mentore, you’ll find a range of looks inspired by the McQueen era of moto.

Here’s a wide look at the coats and jackets from the forthcoming Woolrich Woolen Mills Autumn 2011 collection. Mark McNairy takes the reigns at WWM and looks to expand on the already strong connection to outdoor wear and military. As he told us back in Las Vegas this Summer, he also looks to pull from the 60’s “prep” market which Woolrich worked in.”  Congrats to Mr. McNairy. (cs)

Kangol offers escape from the snow covered days we’ve been battling on the East Coast. “Inspired by East Coast surf culture, and easy breezy summer days, the Kangol Spring 2011 collection invites us to take cover with effortless sophistication. The colorful campaign imagery is borrowed from vintage movie posters from the 60’s. The Kangol Spring 2011 campaign was shot on location in Montauk at the Montauk Yacht Club.

Curated turns us onto this piece of news:

“The House of Cards Table is a piece of furniture that addresses topics such as lightness and instability, but with sense of humor which is a mark of the work by Brazilian designer-architect Mauricio Arruda.” Solid premise and a fun idea.”

“Starring real life couple Devendra Banhart and Rebecca Schwartz, the premise of the Oliver Peoples 2011 campaign is an exploration of authentic intimacy and sexuality. The love affair is explored in the one-of-a-kind masterpiece by architect John Lautner: Rainbow House. The contemporary California setting proved to be a perfect atmosphere to showcase the natural chemistry of the young, intriguing couple. Produced with acclaimed photographer and aspiring director Lisa Eisner.”

We usually can’t put up a patchwork piece without someone having something extremely clever to say about it – but we think this’ll be the exception. Mainly because you can barely see the patchwork pattern, so it won’t offend those of you who find patchwork unbearable. And it’s corduroy, which makes it rugged and all that jazz. (B Store)

We’re kicking off the day with some printed sweatshirt goodness. It’s a far cry from the usual workwear heritage ruggedness, but it’s still a nice sweatshirt. Before anyone starts with the snarky comments, we wouldn’t wear it with the matching tracksuit bottoms. (Hunting & Collecting)

01. Prominent Chinese Artist’s Studio Torn Down (Above)

“The studio would have stood at the heart of an embryonic arts cluster on the outskirts of Shanghai, drawing luminaries from around the world. It took two years to build, and one day to tear down.” (NYT).

02. The Gathering of the Juggalos and the Peculiar Sanctity of Fandom

“Last August, the eleventh Gathering of the Juggalos was held in Cave-in-Rock, Illinois. Psychopathic Records, the independent hip-hop label co-founded by the rap duo Insane Clown Posse, organizes the annual Gathering annually, drawing legions of fans (called “Juggalos” and “Juggalettes”) from across the nation. For the past decade Gatherings have featured performances by musicians (mostly from the genres of rap, rock, and rap-rock), stand-up comedians, and professional wrestlers, not to mention carnival rides, games and contests, and late-night parties hosted by prominent members of the Psychopathic Records family.” (Flowtv).

03. Japanese minimalism set to reshape fashion once again

“The impact of rising levels of austerity and radicalism is being felt in the most unlikely corners – even high fashion. The Japanese minimalist movement, which radicalised and democratised the fashion world in the 1980s, is poised to make a comeback this year.” (Guardian).

04. Designing Tomorrow: America’s World’s Fairs Of The 1930s

“Starting with the Crystal Palace Exposition in London in 1851, World Expositions or World’s Fairs have offered global platforms for nations to showcase their achievements. Housing displays from 32 countries among 100,000 exhibits in one enormous iron and glass structure, the expo attracted more than six million visitors and set the tone for future World’s Fairs by associating progress with innovative architecture, design and engineering.” (Bee).
