Pringle of Scotland is prepping a new look at their archive with “The Pringle Archive Project 1815 – 2011.” Working with the St. Martins School, Pringle of Scotland looks to mix the youth with their generations of design. As the Telegraph reports, “Under the guidance of Professor Louise Wilson OBE, the students created their interpretations of iconic pieces, drawing inspiration from classic Argyle knits and vintage twinsets from the Pringle archive. The designers juxtaposed these elements with bright colours and modern concepts, to create a collection of twelve jumpers.”

We highlight some of the looks coming from the collection (many of which are for the femmes).

Cool Hunting turns us onto this forthcoming book collecting the furniture and interiors work of Knoll. The Knoll Textiles, 1945-2010 book looks specifically at their textile department, which focused on “modern sensibility that used color and texture as primary design elements.” As mentioned by the publisher, “The division thrived in the late 1940s through 1960s and, in the following decade, adopted a more international outlook as design direction shifted to Europe. In the late 1970s and 1980s, Knoll tapped fashion designers and architects to bolster its brand.”

Knoll Textiles, 1945-2010 collects essays and bios from more than 80 designers as well as an ephemera, drawings, and furniture from the period. The book is available today. Amazon has it.

Italy’s Esemplare continues to push their fine collection of outerwear for Autumn/Winter 2011. The collection is a large one so we’ll look at the knits for a while. 100% merino and lana merino extrafine wool is used throughout the collection on cardigans and beyond. Above we show the wool hooded cardigan with a detachable hand quilted vest. We imagine this garment will be as warm as it looks. Much more to see from Esemplare in our gallery.

Here’s one for the chunky shoe lovers. We’d heard rumours of the world going sleek but, like most menswear trends, it’s taking an eternity to actually happen. Until that day we’ll be clomping around like Godzilla in fancy footwear. We wonder what foot width Godzilla would’ve been anyway? (B Store)

I’ve done my fair share of festival hopping back in my 20’s and then again in 2008 with a five festival Radiohead run that would bring any normal human to their knees. I vowed to avoid festivals at all costs back then, even considering the abundance of solid line-ups that draw the crowds to pound through mud and traffic-hell for days on end.

But the truth is I would do it all again, just at a different pace. The Newport Folk Festival brought that change…

It’s been a while since we’ve featured any Rachel Comey, so here’s a shoe of hers we like. We know, we know – it’s leopard print and you’re all about the classic sprezz now but think of it as an investment piece. As leopard print shoes never really go into fashion – regardless of how often you see them at a tradeshow – they never really go out of it. Meaning you’ll always look slightly ridiculous no matter when you wear it. Which, for the record, is a good thing. (Forward)
