You Must Create, Spring/Summer 06 by SummerSeventySix

Ymc-Ss06-1 Ymc-Ss06-2 Ymc-Ss06-3

To drastically paraphrase The Smiths, there are dandies on the streets of London. The languorous lifestyle of Britain's wealthy young is proving to be an inspiration for spring and summer, especially for label You Must Create. It's been in business here since the mid-90s and is taking its cue from "the mid-century sporting activities of the rich and privileged". That means hard-to-understand pursuits like rugby and cricket, but the look is straightforward enough. Having picked up one of their slim chocolate polkadot scarves myself, I like that the idea has been extended to the harrington jacket. Elsewhere the wing-tip brogues and Eton blazer stay just the right side of the Henley Regatta. However, if you don't speak with the cut-glass vowels of the English upper crust, best keep your mouth shut, lest you ruin the gentlemanly air.

Details of where YMC is stocked are available here.

Mister Freedom: The Last Cruise, Salty Years
The brainchild of LA-based Frenchman Christophe Loiron, Mister Freedom is a denim clothing line produced by Toyo Enterprises (of Sugar Cane and Buzz Rickson fame) that sticks to an overarching Naval theme. Like the first line, the new winter collection imagines the tailored clothing of a merchant Navy sailor as he travels the seven seas. This time around, we find our sailor in the...
Le Petit Larousse Illustré 2009
Ever the fashion pundits, the French have extended their obsession for what is très chic by asking design legend and man behind the house of Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, to design the 2009 issue of "Le Petit Larousse Illustrè." Translated in English as "Larousse Small Illustrated Dictionary," besides lending his artistic talents, Lagerfeld himself is included in the book's encyclopedia of proper names along with the...
Furni x Raised by Wolves Digital Watch
This trio of retro digital watches comes courtesy of a collaboration between Raised by Wolves and Furni (who worked with CH on the ever-popular Farmer Watch last year). This time around, our friends from the north opted for three color options to reflect a 3D theme (Black, Red and Cyan) and a 1980s-style LCD screen. Water-resistant and bound with a sturdy PVC strap, the...
