Shepard Fairey has expanded his graphic enterprise to catalog and carrier bag work for Saks Fifth Avenue. As The Dieline so wisely points out, there is a rather frightening communist feel to them. Well, not necessarily frightening, but invoked nonetheless. The general theme might also be considered off base given current market trends.

A long time ago we reported about this collaboration and now it finally got released at Sold Out. The Swiss graphic design  team and fashion brand, Plus41, designed two sneakers for the Etnies Plus collection and applied their iconic graphics to the upper of the shoes and mixed them with a nice choice of high end materials. Both models have now been released in limited quantities!

Japanese brand Swagger has released some more interesting items out of their Fall/Winter ‘07 collection recently. They continue with their Porter collaboration and have now come out with a technical backpack. At the recent tradeshows in Vegas we had the pleasure of seeing the Porter collaboration pieces live and in terms of quality they are simply outstanding. The Swagger camouflage design also looks good on them. Next to the technical backpack they also just released the matching basketball case.
In terms of clothing new hoodies, t-shirts and denim dropped. Our favorite pieces was this plaid hoodie – simple and on point. After the jump also some fresh new sunglasses releases by the Japanese brand.
