Levi Strauss & Co. is ready to unveil their latest work of wearable art: the first image of Damien Hirst’s jeans for Levi’s. The artist designed a collection as part of The Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, known as Warhol Factory X Levi’s Damien Hirst. The jeans will be unveiled during New York’s Spring 2008 Fashion Week at a runway show at the Gagosian gallery in Chelsea and the line will arrive in stores in January as part of the 2008 season and will feature both men’s and women’s selections.

Over the weekend we gave you a look at the 3 year anniversary t-shirts that Caliroots is putting out these past days. The Purple Pack that we present you here marks the final part of the 3 Year Anniversary celebrations and it will be released this coming Wednesday.
The Purple Pack is made up of two items – the Cali Raw Denim and a Super x Caliroots collaboration. The Super collaboration sunglasses come with a purple body and black arms. With this collaboration Super shows for the first time their new Easy E frame, which will be officially introduced by them only Spring/Summer 2008. Inside it reads RetroSuperFuture x Caliroots Ltd Edt. Also each pair is individually numbered from 1 to 50, as there are only 50 pairs made.
The second part of the pack is the classic  Cali black raw selvedge denim with all stitching done in Purple. The denim comes in a limited edition of 144 pieces.
Both the sunglasses and the denim will be released this coming Wednesday – 12pm European time in store and 3pm European time online.

Check out detailed pictures of both pieces after the jump and mark your calendars already.

Not long ago we presented to you the XLarge Fall 2007 t-shirts, hoodies, some caps and also beanies. That part already looked good, but now here comes the more important cut & sew part and you can trust us if we say, that you will not be disappointed.
In the new Fall 2007 collection XLarge presents a very complete range of Cut & Sew ranging from winter coats, lightweight jackets, denim, plaid shirts, to New Era caps and a nice range of accessories overall. The collection feels complete and very round, as you find graphics that were used for the t-shirts again in the cut & sew. Styles that you have seen by Ralph Lauren with polo patches all over, come in the XLarge collection with the banana patches all over on both pants and jackets. We also like a lot the series of New Era caps, featuring a tonal XLarge logo on the front. Both the person that wants something screaming color and something that looks just nice and simple with a bit of a twist will find something in the new collection.
Check out our preview after the jump.

Number (N)ine released some of their Autumn/Winter 2007 collection and Cliff Edge was quick and already got some key pieces in. We presented you runway pictures from this collection a few months ago and if you remember, it’s a western inspired collection.
Key pieces are flannel shirts and in general pieces in gray, khaki colorways. We especially enjoyed the hoodies, that are as you can imagine not very exciting in terms of graphics, but very interesting in terms of cut and overall look. Other released pieces include denim, glasses, t-shirts and more.

Check after the jump what the collection looks like.

Here we give you a complete preview of the new Autumn/Winter 2007 collection of Japanese brand Swagger – Dynasty. The brand has gotten a lot more attention outside of Japan this past year, but still it is very hard to come across, let’s hope that will change this season.
The new collection has several themese to it. Some are more loud and colorful, but in general we welcome that the collection got less crazy and offers some great basics. Especially the leather jackets this season are great. Also they extended the Porter collaboration and now offer for A/W ‘07 two collections of Porter collaboration pieces in two different camouflage colorways. They have in general nice accessories like keychains, belts and Swagger logo USB sticks.
After the jump we show you pretty much the entire new collection, so you can make your own opinion on what’s to come!

To describe Rittenhouse best, one might use the words “quiet detailing”. Combine that with sophisticated graphics, beautiful fabrics and a strong focus on quality Australian manufacturing and you might start to get a picture in your mind of what this unique label entails. We have been watching them closely now for almost 2 years and have never been disappointed by the label.
Rittenhouse’s Autumn/Winter collection is the 7th collection and continues to be skilfully made in Australia with a focus on quality and fit. The new collection consists of nice classic coats, wool sweaters, crewnecks, t-shirts, denim and more. A piece never it what it looks like. Small, smart details can be found on almost every piece, especially the ones that seem simple and not special at first.
Take a close look at the preview after the jump and see if you can find those small details, that make Rittenhouse so special and a brand to watch.

The other day we presented you a new Vans x New Era plaid cap. It was part of the Vans “Anthony Van Engelen” collection, that we now present you in total.
The collection features a lot of plaid in general – New Eras, shirts, hooded jackets. Other pieces are denim, hoodies, leather jackets and more. Overall the collection looks very solid, 100% something that comes from Vans. Also since it comes from Vans you can probably expect fair prices for all these pieces.
The collection is now landing in stores worldwide. Check out the entire collection after the jump.

When it comes to denim usually the US, Japan and also Scandinavia are in the highlight. France is not known for especially good denim, but of course in general for fashion. Atelier La Durance is changing that perception and bringing France into the high end denim game. Over the past couple of years the brand has slowly evolved and very carefully introduces new pieces every season, making sure the brand is heading the right direction. The way they have done that so far we can only appreciate.
Besides their standout denim, they also introduced denim jackets, cashmere v-neck sweaters and zip sweaters and hoodies, that come close in quality the Japanese Loopwheeler. Everything is about quality craftsmanship. When we look at the most recent items by the brand we are most impressed by their denim bags. They introduced two of those, made out of Japanese raw selvedge and premium leathers. Denim bags can go really wrong, which is not the case with these ones by Atelier La Durance – they show how it’s done!
Check out after the jump everything exciting by Atelier La Durance besides their denim – the clothing and the accessories.
