Assembly New York Cardigan

Selectism - assembly-newyork-cardigan-01

Assembly are going full throttle with their in house line. According to H&C, they focused on ‘the effects of time, hunting and gathering and utility based clothing required for such living’. Which is nice. What matters to us is that they’ve made some handsome pieces, like this chunky cardigan that’s worth the leap to see the close up shots. (Hunting & Collecting)

Taschen have just released 4 Cities Taschen 4 Cities Travel Guide Set, the entire collection of their travel guides. Compiling12 books and focusing on, you guessed it, 4 cities, which are London, New York, Paris and Berlin. We’re pretty close to at least 3 of those 4 cities, with editors in London, New York and our HQ in Berlin (we refuse to call them towers). Some tips might be a little obvious, but it’s always nice to have a list of things to visit when in a new city. Especially when you inevitably end up not seeing half of them. Coming November 22. Available from Amazon Taschen 4 Cities Travel Guide Set.

See some spreads after the leap.

Selectism - stephan-schneider-alpaca-jacket-01

We love a bit of Schneider here. And why wouldn’t we? It’s well done, unfussy pieces that we’d happily fight a donkey for. Don’t ask us why we’d fight a donkey for a jacket, we just would. Especially when it’s a jacket as handsome as this one. (South Willard)

versace hm mens collection 0 Versace for H&M Men’s Collection | Full Looks

A quick recap on a collection we missed to mention last week. Luckily for us, the boys at Highsnob took caree of it and bring the full lookbook to your attention. The co-brand collection is a reboot of classic materials and patterns from Versace’s last few decades. Materials in the reboot/collaborative collection, at times, look as though they should have been delivered a few years earlier when the fashion hounds were snapping up these look in vintage shops and eBay. We will give them the benefit of a fresh start though. Not for everyone, but for a select view that have personal confidence in their style work it.

Many more looks at the Versace for H&M Men’s Collection on Highsnobiety.
