It's Must Have Been A Long Week...

At New Look's press office. Having requested a number of masculine coats we got sent this lovely plum & orange number. Clearly for the ladies, we think it's rather fetching nonetheless.

Last Nights Launches: Wooyoungmi

Last night Selfridges held a little shin dig to celebrate a collaboration between Wooyoungmi & six creative types to put a spin on their own peacoat, with each one auctioned off for charity.

The guys involved were Jordan Askill,
Dazed & Confused’s David Hellqvist, Gary Card, Reece Crisp & blogger Steve Salter.
Had we been asked our coat would have looked something like this.

Bet Wooyoungmi is kicking themselves now.

Look What We Spotted

Looking through an Aware look book we thought these guys looked familiar. That's when we realised they were in fact pocket rockets Dino & Georgio from TOWIE. Excellent work boys.

XTG Swim!

When Frank went on holiday, All the hot spanish boys were wearing XTG trunks. Their new swimwear range has just launched. Sporty. You can even buy online (v.modern).

Has Everyone Seen The New Cover Yet?

Politeecal

Orlebar Brown, while not wanting to upset any political parties (though perhaps disillusioned with the whole bleeding lot of 'em) has released a selection of insect printed tees as part of their AW collection named after various political leaders of the U.K past & present.
May we present to you; Dave, Gordon & Geoffrey.
No sign of Tony though. Perhaps no one wanted a cockroach on their lapel.

Spotted On Regent Street

We were pleased to see that while other stores are well & truly on the Christmas Express (destination: mental breakdown) Banana Republic are firmly in the present,
celebrating every senior citizens favourite, Harvest Festival.
Which, after Lovebox, has to be our favourite festival.

Faces: Cem @ FM

It's pronounced Gem & he is from FM models. He's also scared of moths.

Intern Matthew Trials Waterproof Socks

Life Thru A Lens

Apparently Maui Jim are massive in the U.S of A, whose polarised sunglasses stop glare & help you see things clearer (or something) as shown here.

What A Pair!

Today we have been to the Canoe PR press day. Big trainers are set to be all the rage come SS.

Faces: Bo @ Premier

Today it's Bo. He is from Premier.

Liking The Mr Porter Opener Today

Who says the Mr Porter shopper isn't a risk taker?

Scavenger Hunt

If you see a box like this while on your travels today then we insist you rush over to check it's contents. For if it holds a pair of Converse then you may claim them. If you then post a picture of yourself with them on the Converse Facebook page then you'll be in with a chance of going to the 100 Club in London. If you find an empty box fear not, simply tweet #converseboots & you'll be entered into a prize draw to win a pair. That's a lot of social networking in one competition.

Cos Is Now Selling Online

Which is the best news we've heard all day after that Beyonce prosthetic baby bump story.

Faces: Alistair @ FM

For our Style issue (out this week) we shot a portfolio of new faces & for the next 20 days we will
introduce you to them all. Starting, as the alphabet so often does, with the letter A.
Today's hotty is Alistair from FM Models.

You Gotta Be Kidding

Now we love watching a post Downton episode of TOWIE on a Sunday night as much as the next person. We'd even go as far as reading about said characters in a two month old issue of Heat in a doctors waiting room, but smelling like them? Notes of bergamot, lime & grapefruit?
We're not so sure.

Divine Daley

Our Fashion Director Frank Strachan, might well have CRAZY in his eyes, but Tom Daley seems comfortable enough in his stalkers presence. Well Jel.

Start Again

To celebrate his AW collection launching in store, London fashion week fave Mr Start is host to a pop-up made to measure shirt service in store until tomorrow. Go down & have a look, we insist. Prices from £160

Super Bass!

Entranced by the blonde mute.

APC + Carhartt

APC & Carhartt have collaborated for a second season on a very limited collection,
combining APC's re-worked classics with Carhartt's street stylings.
We are particularly attached to the camel jacket with shearling collar.

River Viiperi Shot For Versace & H&M

With only a month to go we give you a glimpse of what to expect from the Versace & H&M collaboration. In fact we have most of this still in our office. Minus River :(

We Were Bored & Googling

A nice break from cute cats on YouTube

Jil Sander Mobile

Jil Sander has diversified into the mobile phone business in partnership with LG.
Strange but true.

Dr Martens Does Make Your Own

As if Dr Martens didn't already feel personal enough, having graced our feet through every major life event, the clever dicks are now allowing customers to customise a pair to match their personality. The choice is pretty great too. you get an option of five leathers, two linings & extra details including *deep breath*
four sole options
eight eyelet colours
nine heel tab colours
three colour welt colours
three stitch colour options
The initial 'booth' is at Dover Street Market where you can choose your colours & your boots will then be made up in the Dr Martens factory (which we have had the pleasure of visiting)

Followed by an online roll out for 2012.

Levis Monochrome

Denim darlings Levi's have launched an exclusive range of entitled Monochrome that is being sold exclusively in Urban Outfitters. the range comes in four styles Skinny, Slim,
Tapered and Drop-Crotch Tapered in colours that wouldn't look out of place in film noir.

Such Fun

The idea of these Jeremy Scott for Adidas Originals sneakers may have been tarnished ever so slightly by Jedward but this picture made us smile.

Another Day Shooting...

Caroline is definitely making the most of her body moisturiser today...

The newest collaboration focuses on the classic peacoat and the six designers on board are: Todd Lynn, Timo Weiland, Tim Hamilton, Alister

Travel Bug

Travel being a big trend in menswear, Louis Vuitton are right on it with these beautiful postcards of hotels from around the world. They are adhesive too, and you're meant to stick 'em on your Louis Vuitton trunk of course, but if that's a little out of reach you could get started on these lovely stickers which are a bargain at £53 for box of 30. Available in stores and at Louisvuittton.com
