so i was kindly passed on these pictures in the week of a new balance and factory custom done by the same guy in canada that produced the infamous blazer JD that surfaced last year I apologise for not remembering his name,if anyone can kindly fill me in it be much appreciated as he certainly deserves credit.Il let the pics do the rest of the talking.enjoy.


thank you to my source who wishes to remain unknown.

Collection of style is a new chain of stores under the H&M brand with its pilot store on regent street set to open on 16th march 2007, It will certainly be interesting to see what a COS brings to the table in my opinion theres still a huge gap in the menswear market for affordable style with no one really catering for it in the same way so many chains do in womenswear, could COS be the one to change this and fill the viod that so desperatly needs filling.Only time will tell.

Picked a copy up last week and finally got to sit down and give it a read this week,great issue if you like terry richardson this is well worth it just for his imagery he must have shot over 50% of this magazine!

Always garenteed to be a tasteful partnership, we have not been disapionted,this jckets up on all the usual blogs and for once for very good reason,looks like a really nice piece the hickory stripe is great and this is a lovelly application of it for summer season.cant wait for the release of this coach jacket.

I literaly had the best day of my life today in a dusty warehouse in the US its was nothing short of amazing i had so much fun it was unreal!the scariest part being i barely touched the surface of this place.thanks chris and mike x

So AW07 is beginig to show,Paris fashion week starts on the 26th and milan has been and gone.Here are 4 of my favorite looks from milan shows.top 2 are from the Marni show which made some headlines with mens leggings a look that personally I think works its not going to be for the masses im sure but we are pretty much there all ready with skin tight stretch denim and the look certainly works on the runway.burberry prosum again with a very strong show and some wild gloves which are, well interesting.And another solid showing from raf simons for jil sander although I much prefered the SS07 line up.

Finally the waiting is over,I heard all about this shoot some months back and it sounded like it was going to be a fantastic set of images,I got my copy of febuary ID this morning and the wait to see the images was deffinatly worth it.Id probably go as far as this being one of my favorite shoots!clothes are all amazing a really fantastic mix of labels along with Aitors own pieces from his MA collection.Really nice wording at the begining of the story aswell.I cant wait to see what Aitor goes on to next.
