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.

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.
More images of the sneaker after the jump.

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.

Have a look at detailed images of the Comme des Garcons Shirt For Visvim pieces after the jump.

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.
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.

Later this year Tonite will be releasing their womens collection. The collection gets its inspiration from travelling. It is an attempt to bring the beach to the city. To share the freedom, whether under the tropical rain of the beach, or the winter skies of the city.
Have a look at the collection and make a mental note, so that you do not forget about it by the time it drops. As usual from Tonite, it is something special and different from everything else out there. Also their website is launching soon.

Lacoste has made quite an impact in the last couple of years with their Stealth collection. Especially collaborations with Kidrobot and SneakerFreaker helped the brand to gain more credibility in this hard to enter core market.
Now Lacoste got together with UK sneaker retailer Size?. They worked on special colorways of the Revan 3 and the Observe. Both styles share a perforated toe box and tongue, large holes revealing the pop neon colors underneath.
Size will be releasing the pack in very limited numbers soon, so stay tuned. After the jump more pictures.

Fergadelic is back with Tonite. Spring/Summer 2008 is one of the strongest collections since Tonite’s early Silas associated days. With Silas firmly rooted in Japan, it’s left to Mr Fergus to get the UK streetwear market excited once again and put Britain back on the map! Remaining true to it’s gritty London roots, the new range it an eclectic mix of it’s creators psychadelic mind. Punk vs Hippy’s vs Comic’s vs Pop Art vs Humour vs Angst. All living in harmony! Subtle nods to some of the most influential artists/graphics of the Tonite generation – Pettibon, Warhol, and Robert Crumb are all evident.
Beach Towels and Giant Rock Hands at the ready for Woodstock! Hardcore Cycling caps pay homage to Suicidal T’s  skate graphics. Kick ass womens tees are all there and the mixtape is on its way.
It’s nice to have Tonite back in full effect. The collection will be available as of March at all Tonite stockists, including Slam City Skates and TheThreeThreads. Have a look at our Spring/Summer 2008 preview after the jump.

The new Pointer Footwear Spring/Summer 2008 collection has just been released in stores. We give you a first look at the key pieces of the line.
The new Bastia Denim was added to the collection and adds a nice sailing shoe to the line-up, something a bit less sporty. In general the collection comes in nice colors and with strong patterns, something we have not seen a lot of from Pointer until now. We were always fans of the brand, but we enjoy the new life in this collection.

After the jump we give you a detailed look at all the styles.

UK based girls streetwear label Not Bad For A Girl (NBFG) has just released their Holiday 2007 collection, which consists of t-shirts, crewneck sweaters and zip-up hoodies. In terms of brand building we see quite some similarities between NBFG and Married To The Mob. Lots of the designs are brand name based and centered around their key graphics. The outcome of this strategy is that the brands build strong brands around their clothing and immediate recognizability.
Anyways, check out the new NBFG releases after the jump.

The Garbstore website finally launched. The brand that calls its style “unfamiliar vintage” has presented a really interesting first collection this season. The website gives you some more insight into the brand and they will also launch an online store shortly. You can already check out all the styles. Another interesting thing is, that the online store will carry Garbstore and also Japanese brand Mountain Research, which is pretty much impossible to come by in Europe. Mountain Research is also a very interesting brand, taking each season one theme and entirely dedicating themselves to this theme.
