Public School T-shirt and Jacket
(21 March 2008) - Leading the way in grown-up street wear, Public School recently released Fall/Winter 2008, their second collection. We've been into their clean cut but somewhat edgy designs since the label launched last year; the quality materials and subtle details set them apart from the rest of the rack at Barneys or Fred Segal. Their new NY Hearts Me t-shirt (not available until next Fall 2008),...

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...

Bruxe
(07 March 2008) - After 10 years of designing accessories and garments for major snowboard, streetwear and other youth driven companies Oli and Mer Van Roost, two Belgian-born twins now living in Montreal Canada, have launched a premium brand which is entirely their own.

Sneaker Freaker Best Of 2007
(04 January 2008) - Sneaker Freaker compiled a Best of Sneakers 2007 by asking fellow designers, artists, shop owners and founders for their favorites of the year. Both classics and newbies are represented but one thing remains clear, Nike still has a firm grasp on the sneaker game. Cool Hunting's version (had we done one) might look a bit different, but we're not quite addicts on the level...

Nike M-65 Patchwork Jacket
(29 November 2007) - When Nike's M-65 Patchwork Jacket showed up at the CH headquarters today—reactions were mixed, but anything that generates that much controversy is undeniably appealing. In fact, no two jackets are the same because of randomly placed patchwork layouts. Produced specifically for this holiday season, the outerlayer twists the traditional concept of patchwork into a highly technical construction. Built off the same specs as the...

Ubiq Fall/Winter 2007
(16 October 2007) - Japanese brand Ubiq always comes up with head-turning, sometimes offbeat designs when it comes to their footwear. The latest 2007 Fall/Winter collection is no different. My favorites from the group have to be the Braska and Bernadette models. A mid-cut boot, the Braska (right) is not as clunky as most urban hiking alternatives. The most innovative feature is the gator-like fleece sock appended to...

WESC 686 Jean
(24 August 2007) - If you're over tight jeans these days, then WESC's new 686 Raw Selvage Jeans are the way to go. Baggy, but not early '90s baggy, they're a medium-rise, straight leg pant with a more generous cut than super skinnies. Part of their premium denim line, the Japanese fabric (it's ring spun denim, produced on vintage shuttle looms with a handmade finishing process) features a...

(20 August 2007) - Portland, Oregon-basedHecklewood is a streetwear label born from an obsession with fringe subcultures. Raised on a steady diet of art, pop culture, and punk, their collection draws inspiration from their youth in the '80s and '90s and the cultural happenings of today. Hecklewood and its two sister brands, Tanner and Off-set will be making their debut at the Pool Tradeshow 27-29 August in Las...

Call of the Wild A/W 2007
(17 August 2007) - London-based clothing label Call of the Wild's upcoming autumn/winter 2007 collection looks very promising. The work of graphic design duo Kai and Sunny, the two have worked together since college handling everything from illustration and art direction for companies such as Nike and Levi's, but some of their best work comes from their very own label, Call of the Wild.

Clae Footwear Fall 2007
(08 August 2007) - Back in 2004 I tried to get my hands on a pair of Claes, which proved impossible because they were no longer in production. Lucky for me, they're back. After a three-year hiatus Clae footwear returns this fall with a diverse collection of some new styles and old favorites. A mix of sport, style, shoe and sneaker, the brand consistently delivers quality shoes that...

Wolf and Pack
(01 June 2007) - Amsterdam based Wolf and Pack believe that the t-shirt is an instrument to incorporate art into everyday life. Born from two veterans of the street scene, Julian Lynn (New York) and Gabriel Hunter (Philadelphia), their T-shirts blend hard-edged design with a playful take on life. Made in limited quantities, I really like the gun/skull graphic (above left). Take a look at the rest of...

Streetwear: The Insider's Guide
(25 May 2007) - Admittedly, the title of this book makes a pretty bold claim, but author Steven Vogel has certainly done his homework. From long–established names like Stussy and Burton to the newer kids on the block like Dave's Quality Meat and Pointer, he investigates what makes names from the U.S., U.K. and the Far East tick and how they have managed—or plan—to succeed. It's also a...

Format Magazine #12: Women's history month special
(29 March 2007) - In celebration of women's history month, Format Magazine #12 highlights some of the rising female stars out there making moves in urban culture, a traditionally male-dominated market. Within the streetwear scene, it's rare to see a women's line that's not an extension of a pre-existing brand, but Gabriella Davi-Khorasanee of Mama (above right) founded one of the premier and only independent female street-wear brands....

Triko Online Store
(20 March 2007) - Triko, a premium street-wear brand for the fashion conscious, recently launched their online retail store timed with the release of some spring/summer designs. Having had our fill of "all over prints" the "Blocked" pull-over hoodie (far right) is a refreshing departure while still holding good shape and geometrical patterns. The four-triangle structure comes together well, integrating the design into the seams for the front...

Satirical Relief
(18 August 2006) - I hope none of you think we take ourselves too seriously. We love what we do and we have fun doing it. In the last three and a half years since I started CH lots of other sites have come on the scene covering similar topics—some even with similar names. The more, the merrier. Two newcomers bring humor to the game and, possibly without...

Shutzmarke
(17 July 2006) - Belgian-born Tim Coppens started his Shutzmarke brand over five years ago with a design studio, gallery, and store in Antwerp taking a "different approach to street culture in Belgium."

WESC Soho
(10 May 2006) - One of the hottest new arrivals topping the list of Manhattan shopping destinations is the WESC Store in SoHo. The Swedish-based WESC (aka WeAretheSuperlativeConspiracy) creates a line of street clothes with its roots in skateboard culture but also delivers "after the skate," a highly-developed line of apparel that targets people outside of the boarding community.

Tagür AKA Blank
(01 February 2006) - Like the better mousetrap, we're constantly trying to design the more stylish sneaker. Burlington-based Tagür is upping the ante with their AKA Blank shoes. These white shoes are an artist's canvas (made from a specially treated paint-friendly surface) on which to express yourself. If you don't feel inclined, just set up one of your "artsy" friends with a Sharpie indelible marker and let 'em...
