Orlebar Brown brings forth their latest generation of their Bulldog and Setter shorts. Using new Nano-Tex fabric that dries even faster than the former, the Bulldog II and Setter II mix beach style with tech that keeps things drier. Nothing bothers us more than soggy bottoms.
“As a follow up to their Paz de la Huerta shoot, FLAUNT magazine has released a corresponding video. Enjoy…” (hs)

Not to leave anyone out, here’s another exhibition that happens to be showing in Europe. Switzerland to be specific.
“The exhibition is based on an extensive research project in which hundreds, in part long-forgotten photobooks were brought together and critically examined. The selection of works resulting from this process forms the backbone of this new history of Swiss photography, which is also being published as a book.”
It looks like it’ll be a great exhibition so it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. (Many Stuff)
Curated lets us know about this Dieter Rams exhibition:
“If you are aware of Dieter Rams’ 10 principles of good design, then plusminusten in Singapore is a must see if you are in the city. Dubbed “plusminusten,” the exhibition itself embodies Rams’ philosophy on effective design, with a simple presentation that makes its purpose clear.
…Much homage has been paid to the industrial designer’s seminal set of beliefs, such as Bibliotheque’s poster for Vitsoe or Inksie’s essay project, but the Anonymous-led exhibition is the first-ever tribute in Asia. Included in the momentous display are graphic designers Edwin Tan, Abdul Basit Khan, Aen Tan, B.A.L.L.S., Daniel Koh, Hanson Ho Jonathan Yuen, Larry Peh, Roy Poh and Yong, who each offer a distinct perspective on what it means to be true to his craft.”

Yeah, yeah, streetwear brand on menswear site and all that. You all know the drill by now – barriers are being broken down and all that jazz. And, if we’re honest, right now the only difference between a menswear outfit and streetwear one is a 5 panel cap and some Visvim trainers. Anyway, these socks are perfect if you’re up for a flash of sock. And we said sock by the way. A flash of that other thing will land you behind bars. (Flatspot)
Germany’s Junghans works a special configuration for their Chronoscope automatic for Bench & Loom. The chronoscope “is named for its famous designer, the Bauhaus-educated Swissman Max Bill who was renowned for his perfection of proportions.” Its a big one at 43mm on the stainless steel casing. Well done.
We’re all about multiple gloves this season. No, not wearing gloves on top of one another, we mean having a fair few options. After all, one pair can’t go with everything you wear. And by no means is this a way to increase consumerism, we’d never do such a thing. We just believe in multiple glove choices. You could even mix and match, although there is a 99.999% chance that you’ll look douchey. (Oi Polloi)
