After a bit of a wait we finally have a look at the forthcoming “Newspaper Album” version packaging for Radiohead’s “The King of Limbs” release. CR gets the exclusive from Stanley Donwood, who is clearly Radiohead’s go to designer (for like ever). “The artwork is designed in the guise of a Sunday newspaper, complete with plastic packaging printed with the album name and imagery. It contains two 10-inch clear vinyl records in a sleeve, a CD of the album, a perforated blotting-sheet artwork, and a newspaper containing art and texts by Donwood.” Love the blotters, Mr. Donwood.

Here’s an interesting trouser coming from Publish Brand’s Autumn/Winter 2011 collection. The Gino jogger pant is made of a soft-herringbone wool with fixed waist and elasticated cuffs. Almost like a jazz man’s muscle pant… a description we’re using with all the best possible connotations.
