British designer and king of noir Gareth Pugh isn’t a designer we’d describe as accessible. More theatrical than your average label, he’s generally one for the hardcore ‘Fashion’ crew. However, his accessories do offer some more sedate options. We like this Ipad case, geometric lines taken form his Autumn Winter ‘Tessellating’ print, this one is constructed from soft padded protective leather and features gold hardware and a handy wrist strap. Oki-ni has it.

We covered this impressive Japanese collaboration a while back, the coming together of SASQUATCHfabrix and The Inoue Brothers to produce something unusual, modern and beautifully crafted. Incredibly rare fabrics and fibres found in South America via Inoue styled by the Tokyo-centric SASQUATCH, this is ‘Modern Ninja and the Black Fist’. Progressive London store LN-CC bring us this video of the opening night of the collection and speak to the guys behind this superb line.

01. Steve Jobs, 1955 – 2011

“A visionary inventor and entrepreneur, it would be impossible to overstate Steve Jobs’ impact on technology and how we use it. Apple’s mercurial, mysterious leader did more than reshape his entire industry: he completely changed how we interact with technology. He made gadgets easy to use, gorgeous to behold and essential to own. He made things we absolutely wanted, long before we even knew we wanted them. Jobs’ utter dedication to how people think, touch, feel and interact with machines dictated even the smallest detail of the computers Apple built and the software it wrote.” (wired)

02. Statement by Steve Jobs’ Family

“Steve died peacefully today surrounded by his family.

In his public life, Steve was known as a visionary; in his private life, he cherished his family. We are thankful to the many people who have shared their wishes and prayers during the last year of Steve’s illness; a website will be provided for those who wish to offer tributes and memories.

We are grateful for the support and kindness of those who share our feelings for Steve. We know many of you will mourn with us, and we ask that you respect our privacy during our time of grief.”  (businesswire)

03. Apple Statement

“Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.” (apple)

04. Steve Jobs, Apple’s Visionary, Dies at 56

“Steven P. Jobs, the visionary co-founder of Apple who helped usher in the era of personal computers and then did nothing less than lead a cultural transformation in the way music, movies and mobile communications were experienced in the digital age, died Wednesday in Palo Alto, Calif.. He was 56.” (nytimes)

A very “going there” video from SWIMS showcasing their “liquid” resistant footwear.

We’re all about that purple swag*. Especially when it’s imparted through a sweater instead of an awful rapper. We’ve also started to notice a trend in knitwear – mixing wools. The (woollen) streets are talking and they’re saying they want wool. And they want it mixed. Mixed like Grey Goose and a mixer. Although Grey Goose should be consumed well out of sight of Puff Daddy, lest he throw you out of his club. (Por Vocacao)

Generic Surplus delivers looks at their Work Boot for Fall 2011. The sturdy high-top take is a solid addition for both work and casual use.

Solid players from the Givenchy line. Their capsule boot take the form of a patent leather hiker-like boot with a chunky sole. The mid-top boot looks like a strong contender in the men’s boot market for Autumn 2011. Ssense has them.
