Following up on the Dr. Romanelli x Medicom Toy Beetle Bailey & Popeye Bearbricks, the designer from Los Angeles has once again joined forces with Converse to add some sneakers to the Beetle Bailey Vs Popeye Collection, which will launch exclusively at Bloomingdales on October 15th, 2011.

Together with Converse Dr. Romanelli presents two Chuck Taylor All Star Hi sneakers. One of them features a military green canvas upper, black leather details, gum sole with rubber toe cap and numerous embroidery and a Beetle Bailey comic strip print lining. The sneaker came out really nice, perfectly telling the story, while also being easy to wear. The second one comes with a black wool upper, anker embroidery detail, red line detail on the ankle support and also a Popeye comic strip print lining. All in all really clean.

Romanelli once again presents a very round and well executed project. We are hearing rumors that some more highlights (hint.. Bamford) will drop along with the line, that we can hopefully report about soon.

After the jump we take a further look at the two sneakers and show you some of the archive videos featuring Mort Walker.

Project Wooster was a special section, hosted by Nick Wooster, at the recent Project Tradeshow in Las Vegas. An impressive line-up of brands was presented in the section, among them also Dr. Romanelli’s new ‘Atlantic Yachting’ Collection.

“The textiles were sourced through Captain Alexander Pincus and his Atlantic Yachting business in Manhattan NYC. We were at dinner a few months back and Alex offered to ship me a selection of his older sails that had been in storage , some dating back to the late 80′s . I had never worked with sails before but was inspired by the idea of reworking them into a collection of blazers, shorts and bags for PROJECT WOOSTER. I was very intrigued by the spinnakers which help move the sailboat faster downwind. The spinnaker is often a colorful sail and it was amazing to see the effect the salt has on the deterioration of the fabric revealing the under-layer of materials. I tried to mimic this visual by selecting lighter textiles for the DRx garments revealing the bold linings via the blazers and shorts.”

The collection features blazers, pants, shorts and some bags.

Check out the full line after the jump.

After a teaser video, we can present to you today ‘The Americans’ Collection, bringing together Taz Arnold and his love for Polo Ralph Lauren and the skills and aesthetics of Dr. Romanelli.

“The result is TI$A’s past – come back to life. The Americans is an experiment in art and clothing – a revamped and reconstructed line of one-of-a-kind wearable work. Taking Taz’s massive collection of vintage Polo, the duo have cut and collaged and reworked and revolutionized. Utilizing a mix of nostalgia, admiration and innovation, The Americans have resurrected and reformed Ralph Lauren’s legendary line.

The result is Taz’s cherished archives – now transformed into a limited run of exquisite, hand sewn jackets, hat, and totes. The Americans have taken Polo’s iconic early ‘90s Teddy Bear/Ski Lodge prep, beloved by early hip-hop icons and cool kids alike… and transformed it into their own poetic ode to pop culture.”

Some of the most iconic Polo trademarks are used in the collection, mixed with a vintage sport aesthetic. The combination of graphics, materials and silhouettes is very impressive and throws you back in time. We will keep you posted on the launch of the collection.

Check out the full range of clothing from ‘The Americans’ Collection after the jump.
