Miyuki Minami’s Itazura for Fall/Winter 2008

19 September 2008, 17.31 | Posted in Fashion | No comments »

Selectism - Miyuki Minami's Itazura for Fall/Winter 2008

Japanese designer, Miyuki Minami launched her Itazura line in 2003 after having worked in apparel for years. The name Itazura comes from children’s books. "Itazura swim around freely in the world of adult and the world of children,like Peter and Wendy in Peter Pan,written byBarrie james matthew. It is the world where the adult,who has learned to conceal cleverly,wants to peep in again." Her menswear collection for Fall/Winter 2008 plays on this theme with androgenous looks that fit oversized at times. (via sl)

Selectism - Rene Gurskov Men Fall/Winter 2008/2009

Denmark’s Rene Gurskov’s Men’s line is cryptic at times in determining what the focus or theme is when reading their press releases. Luckily the clothing tends to hold itself up without need for words or communicae. What we can make out is that the Fall/Winter 2008/2009 collection, "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me." pulls from the Boy George aesthetic of London "finding his way /style… Guys with tattoos and bloody nose."

Sneaky Steve Footwear Fall/Winter 2008/2009

Selectism - Sneaky Steve Footwear Fall/Winter 2008/2009

Sneaky Steve is a shoe brand that fits an important market that tends to be forgotten by many  brands today, the middle ground. Its like being the middle child in someways, where the market is either outpricing you or the lower end is simply too weak to be priced with. The good thing is that this middle ground is what consumers are asking for. Shelling out the big bucks every season for new footwear is not something all can do.

Sneaky Steve fills that gap. "Sneaky Steve is made for all sneaker lovers who want genuine design with an attitude for a bloody good price. Now you dont just one model, buy them all….The materials are based on leather, but you  will of course still find the classical sneaker material canvas in our classic sneaky steve sneakers, Swap High and Dicky Day."

Selectsim - United Arrows Fall/Winter 2008-2009

Japan’s United Arrows is a uniform in class. Their Fall/Winter 2008 offering for men takes notation from the Mad Men styling of the late Fifties and Sixties. Unlike other brand who reference the classic fittings of the Brooks Brothers Ivy League look, the United Arrows collection represents the Japanese education of the look. An education in details and refinement to give their suits, knits, and wear an awareness to the classic. Add in the Japanese tailoring you expect from United Arrows and your search for the Fall is over.

Our Legacy for Gram 378g Fall 2008

11 September 2008, 19.12 | Posted in Shoes | No comments »

Selectism - Our Legacy for Gram 378g Fall 2008

There is something special and unique about the Our Legacy for Gram Design 378g shoe. Maybe its the use of fabrics against the classic oxford cut of the shoe – white leathers, waxed Millerian (the same supplier for Barbour). Either way this is not a collaboration but more the development of something new. "The idea was to use a typical plimsole shape but instead of doing it as cheap as possible it was decided that this should be conceived without compromise. One single low top style was born, dressed in three different guises." Each shoes comes with a bag, shoe horn, and brush.

Selectism - Corto Moltedo Belts and Wallets for Fall/Winter 2008

When we first showcased the Corto Moltedo Collection for Men, their first collection ever for the other half, we intentionally left out the mens wallets and belts and for good reason. They stand alone amongst the bags and we would hate for them to be lost in the shuffle. Featuring a variety of materials making up wallets, passport holders, and more, Corto Moltedo has done it right in providing men with some fo the best leather goods on the market. Check that gold cassette belt buckle. Killer.

Selectism - Gram Shoes Fall/Winter 2008/2009 - RGB & Co. 

Gram Design’s Fall/Winter 2008/09 footwear lineup bring new concepts and further maturity to a footwear line that is quickly becoming a favorite amongst many. The theme for the Fall 2008 collection revolved around the RGB color palette with leathers coated in color and embossments. "The winter of 2008 picks up where the spring collection left off, carrying tricolour combinations into the colder months of the year. Coated cotton in dark shades of red, green and blue come together to create a subtle reference to the classic colour standard RGB. Soft full grain cow leather in dark brown, pitch black and petroleum dove blue acts as the counterweight, effectively broadening the collection and bringing with it elements of rugged elegance and durability."
