We cannot really say that we have ever been big fans of UK's S***r shoes, but some collaborative efforts by the brand, including the ones with Fred Perry, Hummel or D.I.E. have attracted our attention and so does the recent work with Cassette Playa.

"The first two series of CP branded S***r shoes released over the course of 2008 with Playa 03 being the latest and the freshest ones. The collection is made around two shapes, a round flat, sneaker type and an aceed version of Jimmy Jazz shoe, which is basically an oxford classic on a 2 inch platform. Colours are signature Cassette Playa." Via The Clones.

R29's Pipeline takes focus on California's LOVA line. "Though the line conjures images of Rebel Without a Cause James Dean with a splash of Ward Cleaver for good measure, LOVA Design never descends into costume. According to Murphy, 'by applying specialty fabrics like sharkskin, silk, and cashmere with modern tailoring, the clothing has a decidedly modern appeal.' Slim gingham shirts with button-down collars paired with expertly cut suit shorts, summer-weight silk jackets, and short-sleeve cardigans are perfect for the gentleman with a raffish edge (or those who wish they were.)"

As part of their Lee Cooper 100 project, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the denim brand, they have collaborated with high end eyewear brand Alain Mikli.

With a passion for innovation, Lee Cooper and Alain Mikli produce eyewear like no other.  Working from his lab in Paris, Alain revived his original 70s model. He proceeded to take apart a pair of 5 pocket Lee Cooper jeans to see what the core ingredients were. Denim aside, he focused on the zip and rivets. Lee Cooper jeans were then infused onto the frame – the first time this has ever been done.

Happy with the frame, Mikli moved onto the lens. Through sheer experimentation, Mikli devised a lens that includes a Lee Cooper zip, with the zipper teeth also carved in – pure imagination and completely conceptual. To match these hand made glasses, Alain designed a case from a Lee Cooper jean with the glasses fitting snuggly inside. What you see is innovation. A complex procedure crafted by a design genius.

At first you think somebody knows how to use Photoshop, but once you realize that its all reality, it is definitely very impressive. Alain Mikli also designed Kanye West's Shutter Shades, that were reported about in all media and this new Lee Cooper collaboration once again confirms his innovative nature.

Make sure to have a look at more detailed views of the Alain Mikli For Lee Cooper sunglasses after the jump.

We give you a look at the Robert Geller Fall/Winter 2008 collection. The designer with German heritage has been trained after attending the Rhose Island School Of Design at Marc Jacobs. Since 2005 he runs his own label, carrying his name, with much success.

The new Fall/Winter 2008 collection stays very much in the grey/black tones and plays with layers as well as with different lengths of the layers. In other colors the look would have been more messy, but Robert Gellers color combinations make it work and give it an overall clean look.

Expect it to land soon in stores such as Odin NYC and Roden Gray Vancouver.

Brett Westfall of Unholy Matrimony has designed a couple of pieces for K.Z.O's Fall/Winter 2008 collection. The man is staying busy, after just recently a collaboration between him and Comme Des Garcons had been released.

For K.Z.O. he designed a flannel shirt and a t-shirt. The shirt is definitely an interesting creation. The charcoal portion is made from a heavy weight cotton flannel while the yellow portion is of a slightly lighter weight. Both the t-shirt and the shirt come in very high quality and with a great amount of details.

Both pieces are now available at Blackbird.

This one is for the car lovers. The Fiat 500 Ferrari Edition is an edition of 200 Fiat 500's made exclusively for current Ferrari owners as loaner vehicles when you bring your Ferrari in for service. As Switched On Set puts it, "It's got a Ferrari paint job both inside and out, with the mechanics being based on the Sport version (1.4i) of the Fiat, throwing in aluminum pedals, red brake calipers, 16-inch wheels, sporty steering wheel and a few tuning and exhaust modifications."

Pierre Hardy is making the rounds. We first reported about his Serie.4 collaboration with Kitsune at Colette. Now men.style fills us in with details of Hardy's latest work for Gap. "The mini-collection will include only a black leather combat boot and a taupe desert boot. They're minimal classics from a master of hyperbole—and luckily enough, at decidedly minimal prices." Look for them in "select" Gap stores on September 15th.

A self-taught architect, Tadao Ando combines the influences of Japanese building traditions with the elegance of modernism. His projects encourage contemplation and demonstrate a reverence for essential forms. Respected for his powerful, meditative spaces and his sensual yet refined use of ordinary materials—wood, steel, concrete, glass—Ando’s work resonates with profound intelligence, unpretentious elegance, and an almost palpable sense of harmony. The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is comprised of five pavilions that seem to float on a pool of water. Inside, diffuse and reflected natural light bathe the interior and the art in an even glow. This book thoroughly and luxuriously documents Ando’s most recent masterpiece with glorious new color photography of the building, the reflecting pools, the grand interior spaces, and the galleries.

Tadao Ando Modern Art Museum of Ft. Worth contains a forward by the architect himself, and essays by Philip Jodido. Jodido is author of more than 15 books on contemporary architecture. The book is out now from Rizzoli.
