Every year we appreciate the Japanese brand Sophnet more. We are not sure if its because their collections are getting better or we are getting older, either way, their new Spring/Summer 2008 collection is looking really good. Classic materials, modern cuts and pieces and an overall good mix of styles make this yet another strong collection. If F.C.R.B. is too sporty and their new brand Uniform Experiment too dressy, Sophnet is the perfect middle and will dress you for any occasion.

The colors are nice this season and from the online lookbook we can already see some Visvim collaborations, that we will report about more when the get closer to the release. Hopefully the brand will this year finally become more widely available outside of Japan. Check out some more styles from the new Spring/Summer 2008 collection after the jump.

Refinery29 have done a nice Spring 2008 Mens Footwear preview and included some of our favorite brands in the line-up. Common Projects, Opening Ceremony, PF Flyers, Spring Court and others made it into the mix. Canvas sneakers definitely make a strong comeback as well as simple silhouettes in general.

We present you another one of our favorite labels, Obedient Sons. Their Spring/Summer 2008 collection is very strong and we especially enjoy the choice of colors. Both the light colors looks nice, but our favorite is the navy blue/red combination and the light pink. Also the mix of sportswear and casual outfits is well balanced, making sure that you find something appropriate for any occasion. We see influences from the colonial style, college clothing as well as smart city chic.

We are looking forward to see the line in stores. After the jump some more pictures.

Engineered Garments got his name from the fact that their garments are not designed, but engineered, due to the vast amount of details involved in each garment. Inspiration is taken from American sportswear, military clothing as well as outdoor clothing, in the collections, designed by Japanese designer Daiki Suzuki.

That is no different for the Spring/Summer ‘08 collection of the brand. Classic styles are smartly re-interpreted and lots of small details are added, giving them their very own unique looks as well as functionality. As usual in terms of colors the brand stays simple and concentrates on cuts and patterns. The outcome is a casual style, that might have looked dressed up by any other designer, but Engineered Garments manages to make them wearable and inhales a relaxed look into these American classics.

After the jump some more pictures of the upcoming collection.

Last year an incredible hype around Henrik Vibskov broke out all over the world. The Danish designer certainly has his very own unique style, that is sometimes dressed up but mostly sporty and always sports lots of crazy colors.

We love his collections, but mostly we enjoy picking pieces here and there and matching them with more subtle outfits. Our personal favorites in his collections are always the knitwear as well as the accessories. The shirts in the new collection also look great! The pants we find the hardest to pull off, but that’s just our personal opinion!

Common Projects has become one of our new favorite sneaker brands over the past 2 years. Simple and subtle aesthetics, nice colorways and the golden serial number is a nice touch as well. The brand smartly enlarges their collection every season. For Spring/Summer 2008 they add perforated leather sneakers, mixed (leather and patent) sneakers and some fresh new colorways. Strong pieces from previous seasons they also keep in the collection. Furthermore they added more dressy leather shoes. Pics via Superfuture.

Japanese clothing chain Uniqlo has made quite an impact in its short time outside of Japan. New York has got its own Uniqlo flagship, London got a new store as well and Paris is following soon. Hopefully the expansion goes at this speed for some time, because if you do not have one close by yet, you are definitely missing out.

The quality is good and definitely more than ok considering the price. If you are in the need of any kinds of basics, Uniqlo is the place to go. With their recent addition of t-shirts, they now also offer in that section a nice selection.

Here you get a first look at their Spring/Summer 2008 collection. They offer very solid pieces in the line, nice classic shorts, striped tees, shirts and more. Details such as the light weight fleece scarfs and the hats, make the collection less standard and boring.

Uniqlo definitely offers everything you need to fill the gaps in your wardrobe. Check out some more Spring/Summer ‘08 styles after the jump.
