T-Book x Peter Schmid Sneakers by Josh Rubin

Tbookschmid Sm Tbookschmid0 Sm

With British t-shirt company T-Book's tessellating expressions of love and the German Puma designer Peter Schmid's high and low-tops, these may be the most romantic kicks out there. Laser-burnt with T-Book's clever, M.C. Escher-esque "Don't Kiss Goodbye" (pictured left, click either image for detail) or with their "I Love You" repeating script pattern (pictured right), the process takes about an hour for each pair. Available in gold, silver, mauve, light blue, white and a matte, suede-like vintage white, the sheepskin leather shoes start at $213 and can be pre-ordered now from Shotgun—the line and an accompanying book come out February 2007. See more images here.

I caught up with Kai at TBC, and he talked me through their thinking...
Avroko for Mona & Holly
From the award-winning restaurant design team Avroko comes an equally adept collection of "uniforms" for the playful womenswear label Mona & Holly. Muddling the lines between service and fashion, Avroko's recent endeavor was inspired by the modest nurse attire from the 1900s and the glamorous steward outfits of the '50s, resulting in a collection of beautifully detailed, elegant apparel. The limited edition line will...
Georg Jensen x Brooks Saddles x Sögreni Wheels Bicycle
We liked the Georg Jensen x Brooks Saddles x Sögreni Wheels bicycle collaboration when it was announced last fall. Now that we've had the opportunity to see one of the 14 limited edition fixed gear bicycles in person we really like it. It makes sense that Georg Jensen reached out to Sögreni (both are Denmark-based). The bicycle is basically a Sögreni Classic with a...
Dennis Juan Ma x Converse
Converse's hundredth anniversary celebratory collection of Chucks, called 1HUND(RED) (a special artist series with proceeds going to the Global Fund), has made for a lot of creativity applied to the shoe. The project is a year-long release of shoes designed by notable artists, including Auckland-based illustrator, Dennis Juan Ma, whose shoe is number twenty in the series....
