It is indeed seasonally warm in New England today. All I can think about is being on the bike and the coming spring and summer. That means shorts time. Orlebar Brown makes some classic heat-wear and their “Best in Class Dogs” collection, with mutts digitally printed onto their wares, is something well off the normal path. We’ve seen much worse on the market. They are more than fine.

Here are some editorial shots showcasing Thom Browne’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection. What we love about these styled looks are the pleasantries of the models. Nothing neutral with these: it’s all smiles and shine. (c)

Launching in two weeks time, this Christoph Keller exhibition focuses on the relationship between books and art. The full title is ‘Books and art – a relational crisis’ and, as you’d expect, it explores how the two mediums function together. Without wasting too much e-ink, it looks like an interesting study and anyone in London who’s interested would do well to pop down. (Manystuff)

Seen on Highsnobiety: The Parabellum collection delivers a new American bison leather tote bag to the market. While it looks reserved in design, the bag features some very high end details which make it exceptional. Beyond the adjustable straps, removable holding base, it is reinforced with Kevlar. That’s serious business for something as staple as a tote. Handmade in Los Angeles.

At this point it’s almost redundant posting up an Anderson’s belt. We say almost because, well, we’re still posting them up. This one is a little different from the ones that’s been around the blogs and ay yah yah, mainly because it’s a braided calf leather. And it’s also a Studio Homme exclusive, so that’s nice.
