Ever wanted to see Tres Bien store manager (and model) in motion? Of course you have. Here’s a look at Sune walking around the store. We look forward to his next role as a double for Bubbles in the Wire prequel.

Written Portraits

18 March 2011, 15.00 | Posted in Books & Magazines | 8 comments »

Selectism - written-portraits-01

The Dutch literature organisation, the CPNB, started up Dutch book week to promote Dutch literature. This year they’re focusing on the ‘written portrait’, using books to create these amazing looking portraits. The folks captured in this form are Anne Frank, Vincent Van Gogh, Louis Van Gaal and Kader Abdollah (writer of the giveaway). While we wouldn’t necessarily include Louis Van Gaal amongst the likes of Anne Frank and Vincent Van Gogh, it’s still a very interesting looking project. (Behance)

Take a look at a few more after the leap.

M Tokyo Double Breasted Blazer

Selectism - M-Tokyo-double-breasted-blazer-01

Clearly we’re into lightweight suiting this spring. We won’t necessarily be wearing them all classic style, but it’s always nice to have them in your arsenal. This double breasted number is well suited to folks who like the whole ‘Englishman in New York’ look. We don’t drink coffee, we take tea my dear. (Coggles)

Selectism - damir-doma-weekender-bag-01
The bag fetish continues with this Damir Doma number. We’re not sure how many weekend bags a man needs but this one should be on everyone’s wish list. What’s stopping you? (apart from the price tag). Nothing, that’s what. (LN-CC)

Soulland ‘China’ Shirt

Selectism - soulland-china-shirt-01

It looks like everyone’s doing some version of green shirt this season, was there a meeting we weren’t invited to? Either way this one’s got a nice granddad collar and has some nice stripe action going on. After the ten sharp dressing commandments, we’re waiting on someone to make an ode to the green shirt called ‘Miles Davis’ (to the tune of Currensy’s ‘Michael Knight’). You heard it here first.

Falke Invisible socks

18 March 2011, 11.30 | Posted in Accessories | 2 comments »

Selectism - falke-invisible-socks-01

Yep, it’s that time again. We’re recommending these because we’ve seen several style blog fellows advocate going sockless in leather shoes and that’s something we just can’t get behind. Wear some socks dunny, just wear some lower ones. No one likes a man who’s constantly putting talcum powder on his feet. (Oi Polloi)

Beau Colburn special for this Thursday…

01. St. Patrick’s Day for the Family: How To Avoid PG-13 Drinking Songs and Worse
“Look, the pubs are no place for kids, something many of us need to be reminded of as St. Patrick’s Day approaches. It’s not solely because of the potential for deformity or because the dimly lit, alcohol-soaked bedlam in your typical pub — particularly on March 17 — will likely assault a kid’s delicate senses. It’s also not because children are terrible at executing a proper pint run, as their tiny hands allow them to carry only one glass at a time from the bar to your thirsty table. And it’s certainly not because the kitchen help won’t let you use the microwave out back to heat up formula.” (sfweekly)

02. NBA Referee Sues Sportswriter Over ‘Defamatory’ Tweet
“It doesn’t matter if you’re a prospective condo tenant, Courtney Love or a sportswriter: Be careful what you tweet, or you might get sued. In an unprecedented legal move in the sporting world, veteran NBA referee Bill Spooner has sued Associated Press sportswriter Jon Krawczynski for defamation, after the Minnesota Timberwolves beat writer tweeted during a Jan. 24 game that Spooner was calling fouls to make up for bad calls.” (wired)

03. The Flight of the AirJelly (above)
“The design of the AirJelly’s tentacles was derived from the functional anatomy of a fish’s fin. Each tentacle’s geometric structure bends in the direction of the applied force to produce peristaltic motion — a wave of contraction preceded by a wave of relaxation propagates in a wave down the tentacle, propelling the AirJelly forward.” (talkingscience)

04. AeroPress coffeemakers brew loyal fans
“As far as coffee brewing devices go, the AeroPress isn’t exactly sexy. It lacks the elegance of, say, a Japanese ceramic cone dripper or the classic Chemex glass carafe. So who would have imagined that two tubes of clear copolyester plastic fitted with a gawky black plunger could attract a cult following of coffee lovers from here to Oslo?” (latimes)

“Clip, Stamp, Fold” Book

18 March 2011, 00.01 | Posted in Books & Magazines | No comments »

Selectism - clip-stamp-fold-01

Subtitled ‘The radical architecture of little magazines 196x – 197x,” Clip, Stamp, Fold Clip, Stamp, Fold Book is one for the aficionados (like everything on here really). The book focuses on seventy small magazines which changed the way people looked at how magazines could be made. They held a small talks series and an exhibition last year, so transcripts from the talks have been included in the book as well. More book for your buck, as no one says.

It’s available from Actar and Amazon Clip, Stamp, Fold Book.

The Range Rover Sport Luxury Edition

17 March 2011, 23.00 | Posted in auto | No comments »

The Range Rover Sport Luxury Edition

Fresh and new for the European market, is the new Ranger Rover Luxury Edition from Land Rover. Here’s Autoblog’s take on the vehicle: “Called the Luxury edition, it slots in between the HSE and Autobiography editions. It’s distinguished by such special touches as a sun roof, heated steering wheel, contrast-stitched leather trim and a Harman/Kardon audio system. It’s available in Europe exclusively with the 245-horsepower, 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6, and can be ordered in white, black or bronze, offset by black trim and 20-inch wheels.” #bomb
