The Hundreds have unveiled their Spring 2012 lookbook, and here is a look at the the Los Angeles-based brand came up with. Thanks to photographer, Seth Fluker, TH was able to put together a very well photographed showcasing of the collection. It’s a more grown up and subdued range with a lot of highly wearable pieces including button down shirts, jackets, sweatshirts, shorts and pants. Although many feel they have outgrown the brand’s more youthful styles, this collection definitely has some appeal to the more discerning streetwear consumer.

 Josh Sims has released a new book through Laurence King Publishing entitled “Cult Streetwear.” From the press release:
From its origins in American workwear, via west coast subcultures, extreme sports and subsequent commercialism, streetwear has become to fashion as hip-hop has to music: a global phenomenon. Incorporating cultural codes of dress, the best in graphic design, as well as exemplary brand-building – the products not of corporate giants but cottage/tenement industries – the leading streetwear brands have become influential beyond the sphere of fashion alone. Streetwear may form a fundamental look for out-of-office-hours dress for teenagers and middle youth alike, but its leading lights have connections with the worlds of art, advertising, music and interiors that make them as potent as ‘designer’ brands many times their size.
Showcasing over 30 of the most exciting and – importantly – pioneering of streetwear brands, this book focuses not on the endless me-too labels, but those that have shaped the market since the late 1980s. Cult Streetwear tells the stories of the people behind the brands – from entrepreneurs to graffiti writers, DJs to surf dudes to sneaker nuts, from LA to NYC, London to Berlin and Tokyo. It explores each brand’s cultural resonance, and explains why so many have gained a cult following while continuing to break new ground in a market with unlimited scope for innovation.
The 208 page book is now available here.

In the early 1900s Manchester’s Oldham Street was the heart of a vibrant cotton industry. Connecting that history with Carhartt’s own is the driving force behind the design for the new shop in the Lancashire city. The location is not just a retail spot, but an art space as well. The inaugural exhibition features art work by locally based artist Guy McKinley. Store photos are provided by Mancunian lecturer Dr. Jamie Kraft.
This is the first time Carhartt has opened a retail location outside of London in the eleven years since the original Neal Street shop. Doors in Manchester open today, May 2, 2008.
