John Varvatos Footwear: Spring/Summer 2008
(14 March 2008) - John Varvatos' latest footwear collection takes classic archetypes and squeezes new life out of them. No stranger to men's fashion, Varvatos cut his teeth working at Polo Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein for more than a decade before he started his eponymous clothing line in 1999. Since then, he's expanded from clothes to include fragrance, skincare and (obviously) footwear. Regarding the latter, he's best...

Death/Traitors: Spring 08
(10 March 2008) - It's hard for a t-shirt operation to define itself when it seems like everyone and their friend-who-dropped-out-of- art-school is printing their own line. That hasn't been a problem for Brooklyn's Death/Traitors, who recently added to their inimitable collection of loosely cult-themed streetwear. The spring line offers a healthy dose of satanic messages and roman numerals, with enough pyramids and all-seeing eyes to fill an...

Kicking Mule Workshop Chino
(20 February 2008) - Already well-known for their rare selvage denim, Kicking Mule Workshop's selvage chino pant is new this Spring. We appreciate the usage of selvage material in something other than denim, because the reality is all fabric suffers from the alternative (hanging on spools) at one point in its lifetime. A fairly heavy pant with a straight leg fit, we found the chino to run a...

Pencil Scarf
(29 January 2008) - With nostalgic grade-school appeal, this cheeky Pencil Scarf from U.K.-based label Lazy Oaf is both in step with persistent surrealist trends in more haute fashion circles (like Marc Jacob's infamous deconstructed shoes last season) and with decidedly more lowbrow circles, like the Bacon Scarf. Sure to elicit smiles on the subway or on the street, the pencil's smirk and splash of pink eraser make...

Wearable Collections Clothing Recycling
(21 January 2008) - Recognizing that discarded clothing makes up six percent of household waste—386 million tons of the stuff—in New York City alone, Wearable Collections latched on to a novel solution. Rather than dump trash-bags full of used clothing (much of it still decent but obsolete to the owner) in a New Jersey landfill, why not export it to South America where it could be put to...

A.P.C. Surplus, Brooklyn

Surplus for its flat 60% discounted prices, the Williamsburg storefront is housed in a beautiful former bank with plenty of rustic charm (i.e. it looks as if it recently caught fire). At only 600 square feet, the space feels...

Burton LTD Grail Denim Jacket And Pant
(19 November 2007) - I used to make fun of people who wore denim on the slopes, but Burton recently made it more functional with this first edition Gore-Tex LTD Grail Denim Jacket and Pant.Denim alone is probably the worst thing you could wear in cold and wet conditions, however an exclusive collaboration with Gore-Tex gives Burton the sole rights for two years to use their technology that...

Jon Pumper
(30 October 2007) - We recently checked out the launch of Sydney-based men's fashion label Jon Pumper, a fresh athletic range drawing inspiration from a fictitious character with "legendary status as a ladies man" who has been 'linked with nearly every high profile woman." Rather fittingly, the launch took place at Sydney's Deus Ex Machina, a motorbike shrine packed full of fast metal and retro moto-style threads, providing...

the-affair
(16 October 2007) - Out of East London, the-affair is not just another t-shirt label interested in fashion. They do a good job blending social commentary and design to create a statement that goes deeper than the typical tee. Exploring themes like the futility of religious intolerance, Muslim Jesus (above left) just looks like another image of Jesus, but take a closer look and you'll notice that Islamic...

dREALM Fall
(15 October 2007) - With the recent drop in temperature I've been looking for some Fall gear.

Artysm Sweats
(26 September 2007) - Even as a fashion statement, sweat suits are best reserved for the gym but these Jack'Art versions by French brand Artysm are undeniably fresh. Made in Paris and 100% cotton, the harlequin-like diamond pattern lends a touch of European flair. With all-over woven construction and contrasting stitching, they ooze original style while prioritizing comfort. My favorites are the sweatpants, as I'm always looking for...
