Cool Hunting
The winner of last year’s International Talent Support Diesel Award was a young fashion designer from Sweden by the name of Daniel Ivarsson. A graduate of London’s Royal College Of Art, he was chosen as the winner for his “Odyssey Of Black” collection inspired by Rock 'n' Roll, bikers and tattoos. Daniel’s prize was a stint at the Diesel headquarters in Italy designing a five-piece capsule collection for Diesel. This creative enterprise is now complete and Daniel’s mini collection, carrying a customized label with his name, was recently presented at the Diesel flagship store in London. Daniel’s five pieces—in black of course—for the menswear collection, complement Diesel’s edgy street style aesthetic while also bringing in some interesting angles and cutting techniques to distinguish his individual style. The Daniel Ivarsson Diesel Collection will be available to buy in flagship Diesel stores worldwide starting in April.

In collaboration with Keep, photographer Tobin Yelland's fascination with his camera has taken on a new form with a graphic tee emblazoned with one of his drawings. Known for taking pictures of skateboarders, like any good photographer, Yelland loves his camera. But unlike most other photographers, he fanatically draws his Leica. He looks for interesting subjects when he takes photos, but when he draws,...
by Ezra Natalia Established in 2006, Nikicio is an Indonesia-based label that infuses humor into traditional menswear-inspired cuts. Creative Director Nina Nikicio's wit shows up in a quirky embroidered dress, quilted bags and a hand-embroidered blanket.

Nikicio's anti-fashion approach, ignores...
