Upcoming UK brand The Devoted is about to drop their Season 2. The first series of t-shirts was released at The Hideout a couple of months ago. Season 2 consists of overall four new t-shirts, once again presenting some strong graphics, while staying solid and not going to crazy.

The Devoted Season 2 will be released tomorrow, September 13th, at The Hideout in London and Hip in Leeds. Also their website will be going live tomorrow.

Now go check out the line-up after the jump.

First previewed by us a couple of weeks ago, we can show you today thanks to Sneaker Freaker some nicer images of the upcoming Gingham Pack by Fred Perry in collaboration with UK’s Size.
The pack consists of two styles, each coming in two colorways and of course all featuring the gingham fabrick on the upper. 250 pairs will be exclusively available from Size in store and online. Also there will be matching polo shirts, that we showed you earlier already. Look out for a September release. 

In the 60s, when Mods were hanging out at Milk Bars, gingham shirts were a must for anybody who wanted to be part of the scene.
In their second collaboration, size? UK and Fred Perry pay homage to the iconic pattern, with a collection around the classic black/red and white/black colorways. For both color schemes there will be Tipped Cuff and Oxford models of footwear, along with a "Made In England" small collar polo.
The Oxford will include a gingham side quarter, while the tipped cuff will feature a gingham cuff and both will include a question mark logo lace lock. The polo will be finished with a gingham placket.
The limited edition size? x Fred Perry footwear and polo shirts will be released at size? stores in September ‘08.
After the jump a more detailed look at the footwear and at the polo shirts.

The Hideout has gotten in a new brand out of the UK – The Devoted. The UK brand starts off with a couple of t-shirts with nice graphics, different from most other brands out there.
The Devoted is now available in the Hideout online store.

During our last Project visit this February we also visited the DC booth and one of the most interesting upcoming releases was the Gatsby that Brick Lane store Gloria has worked on with DC. Thanks to Sneaker Freaker we can show you some nice images of the shoes.
The shoe comes with an aquatic theme and features all kinds of different materials, including patent leather, perforated leather, suede and also webbed leathers. On the ouside the shoe is kept very clean, just with a subtle red Gloria tag. The inner sole comes with some fresh graphics done by ‘Dr.Who?’ aka Lazer Comodore aka Patrick Giner. Another nice detail are the leather laces, giving the shoe almost a bit of a boat shoe look.
Overall the outcome is great. A really fresh summer shoe. Gloria will release it at the end of June. Also look out for a very limited tee shirt to accompany the release courtesy of Dr.Who.

Taking inspiration from vintage clothing seems basic on the surface. However, rarely do people push beyond the basic rehashing of old themes and looks. Garbstore is about capturing a feeling in manufacturing and detail. Against the rash of retro style and nostalgic graphic pilfering, this approach is certainly refreshing. It proves the benefits of looking closely at material culture and extracting lessons from that exercise.

Having founded One True Saxon, and helmed R. Newbold and Red Ear in the Paul Smith empire, Ian Paley’s reputation speaks for itself. His experiences, no doubt, have provided him with necessary tools to pick apart aspects of the old and re-imagine them so cleanly. Garbstore is a brand hinged directly on the quality of its product and the joys of making new items.

Ian and I connected over the phone. He was in one capital city (London), and I was in another (DC). We did not talk politics.

Luxury Japanese department store Isetan is celebrating its 150th anniversary. For the occasion they have the Isetan UK Weeks, offering special product from the UK in their store. Dover Street Market, the Comme des Garcons concept store in London, was invited to offer a selection of products at Isetan, and as part of that selection also a new Comme des Garcons x Visvim collaboration will be offered.
Just before we showed you some FBT’s produced by Visvim, here now the opposite happened, Comme des Garcons Shirt produced for Visvim. They made a longsleeve shirt and a hooded shirt. The longsleeve shirt plays with the panels and used lots of different classic patterns. The hooded shirt is really interesting and is essentially a classic longsleeve shirt with a zipper instead of buttons and a hood.
The Dover Street Market Isetan products will be offered until March 31rst. Via Openers.

Dover Street Market, the Comme des Garcons concept store in London, was invited to offer a selection of products at Isetan, and as part of that selection also a new Comme des Garcons x Visvim collaboration will be offered.
This time the two Japanese brands got together to work on the FBT. They made three colorways of it, featuring an all-over print reading “Marketing Machine”. Definitely a refreshing take of the otherwise very simple Visvim shoes and something one would not have expected.
The Dover Street Market Isetan products will be offered until March 31rst. Via Openers.
