From the small fishing village of Grundsund in Sweden, we bring looks at the long standing Grundéns line of fishing parkas. Made to handle the weather on the seas and on the shore, the Grundéns parka is available in this strong orange. Find them exclusively (outside the village of course) at DSM, erikschedin.com and Mr Mudd & Mr Gold.

Mr Freedom like to keep things real. Not happy with just ‘dyeing things blue’, they’re now in possession of their very own Indigo vat. Now able to achieve varying levels of colouration, over dying and all manner of interesting and irregular results, their first guinea pig are these beautiful Swiss military Henley’s. All hand dyed and date stamped, the great thing about this old world process is the amazing fade that will result from wearing and washing.

We want one of these machines for Christmas.

02. Costumes for a Kid-Cool World

“LEGGY Blake Lively look-alikes pressed their lips to martini glasses, wearing sequined designer dresses with plunging necklines. Wall Street guys in untucked dress shirts hassled bull-necked club managers for prime tables. Deafening dance music blared, as swirling searchlights swept the crowd. It could have been another Champagne-fueled night at Avenue, the exclusive nightclub in Chelsea. Except that it was about 11 a.m., the martini glasses were full of Sprite, and all the patrons were actors in the HBO series “How to Make It in America,” which starts its second season on Sunday.” (New York Times)

03. Condé Nast Adds More Magazine Themed Restaurants

“If you’re a fan of places like The Hard Rock Cafe — in other words, corny restaurants — you might be happy about this: Condé Nast is opening more magazine themed restaurants by next year. According to WWD, there will be a Vogue Cafe in Kiev and a GQ Bar in Istanbul. The company already has a pair of the establishments in Moscow, and plans to add more in countries where Condé Nast magazine’s aren’t sold.” (Fishbowl NY)

04. “Kid Creole Was My Utopia”: An Interview With August Darnell

“When you go to meet, say, Wild Beasts, lovely as they are, they look pretty much like you and me. August Darnell, however, looks like Kid Creole – in other words, a proper pop star – someone beamed in from somewhere rather more glittery than here. He looks fantastic for someone who recently celebrated his 61st birthday. At its best, I Wake Up Screaming – the first Kid Creole studio album for 14-years, released on Strut (home of the great Disco Not Disco and Horse Meat Disco compilations, Mulatu Astatke and Ze Records reissues) – is as suave, strange and singular as anything he’s done. Certainly it’s way better than it has any right to be: collaborating with Andy Butler of Hercules & Love Affair (particularly in evidence on the giddy pulse of lead single ‘I Do Believe’) was an inspired idea, and Darnell seem reinvigorated by the process. He’s funny, sharp and talks at a hundred miles an hour.” (The Quietus)

We take a quick look at some of the styles from the Prada men’s footwear collection for Autumn Winter 2011. The chunky wingtips give a rise to those who prefer are looking for a platform to walk on. As usual, not for all, but will work for some.

We found this one on the living room table of a writer’s home – and it is a big one. Frank Lloyd Wright Designs: The Sketches, Plans, and Drawings is a massive tome coming this October on the Rizzoli imprint. As the title suggests, the book features one of the most comprehensive looks at sketches, elevations, designs, and mockups from the Frank Lloyd Wright studios. Frank Lloyd Wright Designs also gives a long look at the background work behind such projects as Fallingwater, The Coonley House, Midway Gardens, the Guggenheim, and the Imperial Hotel. A great gift idea for fans of the architect and beyond.

Available from Amazon.
