¶ Vous voulez me faire plaisir? Offrez-moi n’importe quoi de la collection Fixed de Rapha, une compagnie de vêtement anglaise qui se spécialise dans l‘équipement de vélo avec style. Hot stuff: ne serais-je pas cute dans un Fixed Track Top?
¶ Letting you know there’s a mega sale happening over on Threadless. Some tees selling for 9$. Till sunday wednesday.
¶ Looking at different camouflage uniforms of the world, you can notice the local differences in natural surroundings translated in the camo patterns. My favorites are the few anti-camo: Malaysian Fire & Rescue Department (Bomba) with its sense of urgency, and the panda inspired style of the Korean military training gear worn in the 80s.
¶ What a pair of japanese Evisu jeans worn for 8 straight months without washing. Everybody know it’s the best way to make them raw denim jeans look nice. They also have this Dirty Dozen + 1 project where “13 people consecutively wearing the same pair of jeans everyday for one month each before passing it to the next member”. 13 months of wear and tear, hurray for extreme authenticity!
¶ I recently discovered a great clothing company: New-Zealand based Icebreaker produces warm, fully breathable and light Merino wool body wear. Launched in 1995 with strong and global good design orientated branding, its brand philosophy guides all company decisions, from product design to . Fully honest and proud about pretty much everything, their web site hosts great details about the company’s philisophy, its beginnings, growth. There is even a video of the product manufacturing chain.

¶ Animated underwater themed CGI holograms in the last Diesel runway show. Kind of makes you forget about the clothes.
¶ Pingmag: New Rave Fashion Trend. Sexy, colorful fluokids, love it.
¶ Youtube: Fujiya & Miyagi’s Ankle Injuries video. Using dice as pixels, somewhat better (more depth) than Gondry’s animated legos for the White Stripes’ Fell in love with a Girl. Love the zoom ins & out.
¶ Dopie Sandals: les prochains objets-de-design-industriel/sandales de plastique qui sauront remplacer les fameux Crocs et qui seront rapidement imités de tort et de travers par un entrepreneur chinois.
¶ Purest Cut: Overpriced designer t-shirts that manage to sell-out. Seriously, who buys this stuff? It looks cool and all but 90$ for a tshirt?
¶ C’est drôle parce que je regardais en fait des tatouages ce weekend sur flickr, contemplant les motifs et compositions, regardant si il y avait quelque chose qui m’inspirait, mais tout me lassait vraiment. Mais vraiment. Et je viens de tomber la dessus: “Reset Design Tattoo is a special tattoo collection made [...] in order to propose a new functional and aesthetic was of thinking this permanant body sign.” J’aime les constellations et la bague de mariage. J’ai une amie (et lectrice) qui s’est fait tatouée une barre verticale, bien droite, noire, 20 cm par 1cm en arrière du molet. Elle ne me l’a jamais expliqué, mais c’est déjà esthétiquement beaucoup plus engageant qu’un papillon.
¶ For all my geeky blogging friend, here’s a “I’m blogging this” t-shirt. C’est le genre de t-shirt que tu fais l’erreur de porter une journée où tu finis par rencontrer des gens à qui tu veux pas parler de ton blog ou te faire dire “Hey blogboy! Are you gonna blog this?”
¶ SANS clothing designers. The NYC duo shape the ex-friendly fabrics to something that seems somewhat futuristic but oddly comfortable.
¶ Hel Looks: Street Fashion from Helsinki. The swedes are hipsters. All of them. I like what this guy is wearing.
¶ Pingmag: Quilt Festival Tokyo: adventures in fabric. Not your grandma’s courtepointe.
