Mishka has gotten together with Famous Stars & Straps on a small capsule collection. The collection consists of a satin bomber jacket, a New Era 59fifty cap and a t-shirt. Graphics are bold, embroideries large and all of it packed with the signature of the New York brand. The collection is available at Mishka flagship stores in New York and LA.

Take a further look at the pieces after the jump.

Today New Era showcased their New Era XC competition entries at the Circle Culture Gallery in Berlin. As mentioned earlier, 90 design students were invited to customize the classic New Era 59fifty fitted cap. When it comes to these kind of projects, things can go into any direction. We can only say that we were more than impressed with the outcome of the entries in the competition and can safely say, that you have never seen the classic New Era cap like this before.

While we show here above the winner of the competition, you can check out many other creative entries after the jump.

Benny Gold’s seasonal New Era offering has always been well sought after, especially when we’re talking the “Doughboy.” Inspired by the hat Ice Cube’s character wore in Boyz n the Hood, the Holiday 2010 version of this fitted comes in black, navy and grey wool with a satin lining and underbrim (see the Fall 10 BG hats here). Now in store at Benny Gold SF.

A while back we reported about the New Era XC Design Competition, inviting 90 students from Europe’s most prestigious art schools to design their very own 59fifty fitted cap. This past week New Era presented the collection of hats at an event in London, with other cities to follow. Check out the video recap here above.

LA based Hall Of Fame presents the second delivery of their Fall 2010 Collection. Included in the delivery are of course numerous new New Era fitted caps, as well as t-shirts, hoodies and longsleeve tees. Branding is kept very core, and very much sports related, just like we are used to see from the brand.

Take a full look at the new Hall Of Fame product after the jump.

Japanese brand Mad Hectic presents the new “Horror Logo” New Era cap from their Fall/Winter 2010 Collection. Just in time for Halloween the cap comes in a series of colorways, featuring a 3D white embroidery on the front panels.

Last week we presented the Primitive Fall/Winter 2010 Lookbook. Today we take a more detailed look at the caps from the line. While they worked for the most part on New Era fitted caps, they also present some mesh caps, snapbacks and beanies this season. Most of the headwear is kept very clean.

A full look at all caps and beanies follows after the jump.

First the world’s largest, now what’s arguably the world’s smallest – Mishka presents two new teeny tiny New Era fitteds. Measuring in at 4 1/4″ and 2 3/4″ (with a keychain) these miniature caps are good for stuffed animals, pets or people with really small heads. And yes it even has the whole mouth underbrim! Now available online here.

Frank 151 has teamed up with Applebum on a 59fifty New Era fitted cap. The cap features a New York by night all-over photo print, which Applebum had already released for Tokyo. The cap will release October 30th at Frank’s Chop Shop and at Applebum retailers. Via Warp.

New Era presents the New Era XC Design Competition. The hat maker has partners with 90 design school graduates from some of the most prestigious design schools from around Europe, including Central Saint Martins. Each student had the task to create a unique version of the New Era 59fifty fitted cap and the winner would be awarded £10′000 to launch his/her career.

We have to admit that when we saw the above boxset for the competition we did not really know what you expect. In most cases, when hand over a sneaker or a cap in blank white canvas with some markers, the result is not very impressive. Well, we were wrong. Most of the creations that you will see might not be very easy to wear, but they are all very creative. Unseen designs have emerged from the competition, turning the classic fitted cap into a true piece of art.

“This exhibition is all about “self expression” and is positioned as “an authentic international lifestyle brand, with a 90 year history of creativity and design, partnering with the creative minds of tomorrow.” It is developing into a real interesting project with a level of creativity that is well beyond our expectations. The exhibitions will truly be unique. We’ve also created a collector’s book detailing all of the 90 designs as well as a snapshot of the brand’s nine decades in history.”

The dates for the 4 exhibitions of the works are as follow:

London: 4th – 6th November (Dray Walk Gallery, Dray Walk, E1 6QL)
Berlin: 11th -13th November (CircleCulture Gallery, Gipstraße 11, 10119)
