Uniqlo Undercover Spring/Summer 2012

So as part of the Watch List I spoke about the upcoming collaboration between Japanese retailer Uniqlo and designer Jun Takahashi's own label, Undercover. Now, we have confirmation of the release date of said collaboration and images from the collection.

The collection looks to dress the families of today by fusing Uniqlo's high quality basics and Undercover's high-end streetwear, featuring clothing for children and adults we can expect a wide range of products for every age range. We can expect the collaborative line to hit stores in 11 countries on March 16th. Peep the images from the campaign below.

New York Fashion Week FW 2012 Schedule

Right now we're caught up in a whirlwind. Men's fashion weeks took place in Paris and Milan and right now we're in the midst of couture week with the likes of Christian Dior, Iris Van Herpen, Didit and Yoshiki Hishinuma. New York Fashion Week is the first of the four major week long events, it is also the most commercialised of all the fashion week's in my opinion. I'm particularly looking forward to Nicholas K, J. Crew, Richard Chai, Timo Weiland and Ralph Lauren.

Expect as with all the other fashion events, we'll be covering them. Retrospectively of course, giving our views and all that.

Peep the schedule below

Grab your cards - YMC Sale

Until recently, embarrassingly, I didn't know there was a YMC store in London. It wasn't until I went looking for bargains in the sale late last year that my friend and I happened across it. YMC short for You Must Create took initial inspiration from work wear and has since evolved into a highly significant export of modern British menswear. They produce timeless, expertly tailored and exciting clothing. According to their website they "follow the Corbusian precept that form follows function. The results, free from fads and fripperies, are as close to timeless as clothing gets."

Since discovering their London store I have been keeping a very close eye on their sale and I've picked a few choice items that perhaps you guys would like to look at.

Red Wing x Nigel Cabourn

American shoe maker, Red Wing and British menswear designer, Nigel Cabourn join forces on a line of boots. Cabourn is known for his non adherence to trend and spectacular outerwear and Red Wing are known for their commitment to high quality footwear, and together they have created some truly classic staple boots. Featured with army green Harris Tweed lining and deep green leather shoelaces and eyelets, The Munson Boot is available in two colors: Light Brown Hawthorne Muleskinner and Dark Chocolate Muleskinner. Everything that has put into these boots contributes to a quality product that lasts.
