Previously we showed you the new Hectic collection, which we liked, but at the same time it did not offer anything special or unexpected. That is totally different from the new Roc Star Autumn/Winter 2008 collection that we present you here.
We are impressed and can safely say, that it is the strongest Roc Star collection that we have seen to date. The brand got known outside of Japan and mainly in Europe, due to a series of Ed Banger and So_Me collaborations. Also they are very well known for their crazy and bright graphics. They still offer that this season on a series of t-shirts and cut & sew, but added a good part of solid and more subtle cut & sew as well. The mix makes the outfit in the end.
Impressed we were also by some accessories in the new collection. The brands backpacks look great and also they will be introducing their first sneaker, which looks a lot like a Nike Blazer High with velcro straps.
Last but not least they also worked with Phenomenon this season on some collaborative product.
Take a good look at the lookbook images of the Roc Star Autumn/Winter 2008 collection after the jump. Familiar faces include Taz Arnold, Big-O, Teriyaki Boyz and more.

As a follow-up to our preview of the Tisa Fall/Winter 2008 collection yesterday, we give you now a close look at the Hood Love collection.
The Tisa Hood Love collection consists of hats as well as color coordinating four finger rings that are made of moulded plastic, a first in jewelery design. Once again this part of the collection was also manufactured in Japan by Phenomenon.
The hats and matching rings come in a large variety of colors. Check them all out after the jump.

Recently we have presented you previews of the Tisa/Phenomenon x MCM collaboration,as well as the "Obama For President" collection. The brand, created by Taz Arnold, and produced by Phenomenon in Japan, will be launching their first Fall/Winter collection this season.
In this preview we give you a first look at upcoming t-shirts, caps, as well as some accessories that will be hitting stores in the coming weeks.
Have a look at some more pieces of the collection after the jump.

A couple of days ago we first reported about Taz Arnold’s new brand Tisa Vision and their collaboration with MCM and Phenomenon. Here we present you now the "Obama For President" capsule collection by the brand.
