bless shop relocated into the third floor of a residential building and re-emerged into a “home” concept in Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg hood. One of the interesting plays in the new bless home is the rotating artists that house the space. The latest, “Mira Schröder, a German exhibition design + curatorial practice graduate and brand collaborator” has “reset” the shop’s look and feel. If you plan on visiting Berlin this summer, we advise you to swing by bless home. (sn)

In news that’ll please ankle bearers worldwide, Thom Browne’s announced that he’s signed a licensing agreement with DITA eyewear to produce some glasses. There’s no news on what they’d actually look like yet (the above picture is just of his SS11 collection), but it’s interesting to see Browne branching out like this. According to DITA they’ve “always seen ourselves as waging a revolt against mediocrity and uniformity. Thom Browne is the only fashion brand that we believe is truly worthy enough to join us in the uprising.” So join the uprising and buy some glasses!

Yes? Ok. (Mindtrive)

We’re more accustomed to suede clydes, but we can rock with canvas ones too. Undefeated have been doing blog friendly collabs for a while now – remember those Adidas ones from last year? If there’s one thing that can be taken from the great blog explosion, it’s that menswear bloggers love a bit of beige on their feet (us included, humourless ones). So beige it up with these Clydes, you’ll receive a nod of approval from people you’ll never meet in person. (Crooked Tongues)
