Hasso, the company we featured a while back, have made some new products. While some were expected (who’d have thought a bag company would make new bags?) but they’ve also launched an unexpected foray into the shoe arena. The shoes (pictured after the leap) are handsome, even if they’re not crushing new ground. Elsewhere there’s messenger bags, new backpacks (as you can see) and the aforementioned shoe-y goodness.

Volvo’s newest luxury car has been revealed in Shanghai. The Volvo Concept Universe is for the business man who appreciates understated luxury and Scandinavian craftsmanship. Designed by Jonathan Disley, the car is also the first  new Volvo since Chinese firm Geely acquired the company in March 2010.

We never thought we’d find the making of a string version of the London Underground so beguiling, but here we are. Three minutes well spent.

Before the new Bang & Olfusen BeoVision is even clicked on, you are impressed by the beauty of the form and design. “The 85-inch plasma screen comes encased in a high-grade aluminum frame, and combines anti-reflection coating with automated image controls, to guarantee crystal clear, Full HD viewing at any time of day. B&O’s first foray into the 3D/Full HD realm also features a BeoLab 10 central loudspeaker, which uses Acoustic Lens Technology to deliver consistently high-frequency sounds, regardless of where you’re sitting in relation to the speaker.” (engadget)

It’s the wrong time for us to looking at anything corduroy but here we are. We do like the thought of this jacket (especially the buttons) but we’re also sweating at the prospect of wearing one in spring. Perhaps it’s one for the folks who like to buy ahead. (Someday)

Curated turns us onto this bit of news:

“During Milan Design Week and the Salone del Mobile, Italian light artist Marco Lodola installed a celebratory work of art at the boutique of Giuliano Fujiwara. The event marked the 25th anniversary of the Fujiwara brand and provided perfect occasion to mix fashion, music, and entertainment.”

Another day, another floral print piece of clothing. This one’s a little more subtle than other attempts we’ve seen – while we like the George Harrison look, it’s not for everyone – so it’s wearable enough for those still unsure about this trend. By the way, isn’t it nice that we can call things a trend rather than a ‘movement’ or some other silly overstatement? (Opening Ceremony)

Curated put this up very cool video. Wonder if we can get one for SL HQ?

While we wholeheartedly endorse sweatpants, we concede that they’re not suitable for every situation. So here’s a nice looking blazer for you guys who are on the fix up, look sharp tip. It looks nice and all, but judging from the mannequin, you may have to get the sleeves shortened. All about the details. (Matches)

We wouldn’t usually put something up purely for joke purposes, but this sheer jacket was too hard to pass up. For a mere £959 you can wear a jacket that’s see through and has a high probability of snagging on anything with a sharp edge. Maybe Kanye will wear one at his next gig? (speaking of that, we hope that Celine blouse sparks a trend of rappers wearing womenswear collections at their shows. It’d be the most hilarious trend ever) (Farfetch)
