For this Fall, Mishka has teamed up with Outlier to produce three colorways of the Pivot Plaid Button Down Shirt.

“A few years back Outlier re imagined the button down shirt. They took it apart and rebuilt it in a way that was conducive to riding your bike, while remaining fashionable. With its innovative seam construction, the pivot offers free range movement without the restrictions usually associated with trying to ride in a men’s dress shirt. You could now reach forward on your bike without the sleeves riding up on you or the back untucking from your pants.”

Fusing the quality and functionality that we are used to see from Outlier, with the design of Mishka, results in a great range of shirts, which are now available in their online store for 84 USD.

For Fall 2011, Mishka will be releasing an assortment of varsity jackets. Choose from black or red nylon Keep Watch coach styles or go all out with the collegiate Death Adder bear number. Cold weather is just around the corner.

A couple of weeks before the full release of the Mishka Fall 2011 Collection, we can already give you a look at the brand’s range of snapback caps for the season. Playing off of classic team cap looks, Mishka offers a line-up of 7 caps this season, some more colorful than others. We especially like the more classic styles with distinct Mishka DNA infused. Look out for a release in the coming weeks.

The full line-up of Mishka Starter Snapback Caps can be seen after the jump.

Mishka NYC presents a video teaser to their Fall 2011 Lookbook.

“The clip was shot entirely in and around London, which provided the perfect backdrop in which to highlight our latest creations, and was directed by the ever-talented Laurence Dean and shot and edited by Joseph Rodrigues Marsh.

We got in touch with a whole cadre of talented Londoners for this video, and filmed them sauntering about town while dressed in the new Fall collection. As the clip progresses, it becomes clear this thing is a literal who’s who of British music staples and up-and-comers. We may have exhausted our DJ/producer Grime, Dubstep and House rolodex for this one, as the clip boasts appearances by the living legend, Plastician, as well as Bok Bok, one half of Night Slugs — one of the most exciting labels in the world — and if that wasn’t enough, brought out some other big guns in Redlight, Darq E. Freaker, Subscape, Tomb Crew, Roska, Peigh, Spooky (of Oil Gang), Alix Perez and Doorly.”

In an interesting new collaboration, Mishka has teamed up with Kidrobot and today they unveiled the Keep Dunny Chase Figure.

“The 2011 Мишка Dunny has arrived in a blaze of chainsaw-massacring glory ready to skin your sister’s Barbie dolls alive. The beautiful minds over at Kidrobot finally succumbed to our relentless pressure and let us fuck with the Dunny form until it was almost unrecognizable. The 3-inch troublemaker is outfitted with a cute pair of blood-splattered overalls and a mini murder weapon to boot. Although we do choose favorites, all nineteen other cuddly collectables are delightfully deranged in their own special little way.

Each individual Dunny is blind-boxed, so you never know what twisted and ultra-limited artistic creation you’ll get. But ours is a chase figure, so yeah shit’s gonna be incredibly rare to get your grubby paws on.”

It sounds like you might have to get a few Dunnys before coming across this one. The official release takes place on June 23rd, 2011.

Mishka presents their new Summer 2011 Collection Lookbook, this time featuring Diplo, Wavves, HEALTH, Congorock, 12th Planet, Pictureplane and others, showcasing the latest to come from the New York brand. Shot by Caesar Sebastian in Los Angeles, Mishka seems to take a step back from the more mature aesthetic that they were pushing in part for the last couple of seasons, concentrating once again on strong graphic t-shirts, colorful shirts, caps and accessories.

Check out the full lookbook after the jump.

Mishka offers up a teaser look at the production of their upcoming Summer 2011 Collection with the video here above. You will find lots of familiar faces in the lookbook, as teased here already.

“Like for Spring, we got a slick video to tease our upcoming lookbook that teases the release of the Summer clothes themselves. This video was shot totally in Los Angeles and shows off some more of our favorite music artists and friends. 12th Planet is in it. Then there’s Diplo, with lil’ Diplo AKA Diaperlo. We’ve got The ‘87 Stick Up Kids, who’s debut we’ll be releasing later this week. Then we’ve got our pally Nathan from Wavves smoking pot and playing videogames. The Glitch Mob are in there, fucking around in a room full of gold records. Electronic bros Nadastrom can be seen walking around, looking in store windows. We got LA Weekly cover stars Tearist, who can be seen bouncing around in front of the F-Haus. Congorock’s jumping around some caves. HEALTH is there, too, taking a little stroll around their nabez. And finally, there’s Pictureplane, who we love to pieces.”

Mishka adds a new graphic to their Black Bart Bootleg series, this time in collaboration with American band Wavves. “There’s Nathan (the main Wavve) toking out with a beach alien, Black Bart, and the pièce de résistance, Chronic the Hemphog. This is a great shirt for all the fuckups, and there’s gotta be at least one or two of you out there reading this.” Available now through Mishka in both black and white tees and tanktops.

The March 24, 2011 New York edition of The New York Times ran a Critical Shopper piece on Mishka and The Hundreds’ retail presence in NYC entitled “Two Riffs on Street Wear Gone Fusion.” An excerpt follows:

THE Mishka store is a burst of bright underneath the J-M-Z tracks streaking off the Williamsburg Bridge. A life-size E.T. peers out over the unkempt block through a window trimmed with purple neon. Just inside is a Street Fighter II arcade game, rigged for free plays.

In SoHo, squeezed in among high-end boutiques, is the first New York outpost of the Hundreds. An artfully distressed mirror runs the length of one wall, and the furnishings are done in dark wood and Chesterfield-style black leather.

They’re two solutions to the same problem, the collision of hip-hop fashion, skateboarding gear and work wear that’s generally called street wear. It’s a neat trick of deracination, or post-racination. As rap music seeps more and more into the fabric of pop culture, its accouterments become more familiar. In these lines, lessons drawn from the 1990s explosion of brands like Phat Farm, Fubu, even Karl Kani are mixed with the lessons drawn from the ’90s appropriation of Polo and Tommy Hilfiger. The results are tough but relatable, a style that connotes insiderdom while excluding no one.
