The case of the watch is made with steel melted with fragments of the Apollo 11 the first manned space mission to land on the moon, the strap made from fibres from a spacesuit worn on the International Space Station, And the face has been coated in dust from rocks taken from the surface of the moon.”

Geoffrey Harcourt 1960s F978 lounge chair
This 1968 seat screams the decade in every detail - from the shape, to the polished tulip-style base and the red and white colour scheme. In terms of specifics, the chair consists of a white polyurethane shell mixed with red Super Bultex foam and dacrom seating, with that base made of aluminium.

Proper + Vans Holiday Collection
Long Beach resident and Proper owner, Tristan Caruso, have teamed together with Vans again for the ‘08 holiday season. After several successful collaborations, Proper and Vans are paying homage to their ocean front city with a line of “nautical…but nice”, Sperry Topsider inspired kicks. The pack includes a variety of colors, low cuts, high cuts, and come in nicely designed retro boxes.
Ato Autumn/Winter 2008
Given the amount of love Ato’s footwear receive, it’s easy to forget that they make clothes as well. Given the amount of colour in their footwear, their main line is actually quite subdued, focusing more on shapes and patterns rather than colours. Other focuses in the collection are checks, large fur collars and, bizarrely, ponchos.

JanSport Reclaimed Series
One of the attributes that have made JanSport a favorite amongst students and outdoors enthusiasts alike is the generous lifetime warranty offered by the timeless Northern California based company. With bags in need of repair making their way into the Washington warranty center, JanSport has taken these bags in need of a new life and set forth a new journey for them as one-of-a-kind, hand sewn pieces. The inaugural rollout will produced only 150 limited pieces featuring top notch construction with a bonus autograph by JanSport’s crew of re-construction artists, giving their customers another reason to keep coming back.
Kris Van Assche High Tops
Designers seem to be treating the name ‘high top’ as a dare, continually creating trainers that go higher and higher up the leg. These Kris Van Assche high tops are almost as high as the Diet Butcher Slim Skin ones we featured a while back and this doesn’t look like it’s going to stop until someone makes a pair of knee high trainers. Although these are noted as SS09 trainers by KVA and other websites, The Corner has apparently fooled someone at KVA into giving it to them early as they have these in black, grey and white already. Get it from the corner.
Acne Jeans Spring/Summer 2009 Pre Collection

Raf Simons Black Windbreaker Parka
We know this isn’t a seasonal purchase, but buying things before you need them is always a wise thing to do. Windbreakers never really go out of style, although there’s some summers where they get really popular. With that said, if you want to step it up this year from your usual flimsy American Apparel piece, this Raf Simons jacket will do the trick. Add on the fact that it’s more than 50% off and you have a relative bargain. Get it from Seven New York.
GQ Designer of the Year | Thom Browne
GQ has named Thom Browne “Designer of the Year” in their December 2008 issue. As Alex Pappademas writes, “Thom Browne’s world: Most of us don’t live in it, but he’s convinced we’d be better off if we did. We’d all have less stuff, for one thing. Every day, we’d leave bright, spotless, almost comically underfurnished homes and go to work in bright, spotless, almost comically underfurnished places of business. Browne’s Manhattan showroom is like that. You could drive a parade float through the space between the door and the table where he’s sitting now, talking to some people about the tennis-club-inspired set he wants to build for his next runway show…”

Bentely Azure T
Seems that the problems facing the big 3 American auto makers aren’t affecting Bentley’s business plan. Bentley just unveiled their most opulent model yet, the Azure T. The T is a limited, faster, more exclusive and more decadently appointed version of Bentley’s ”pedestrian” model. Some of its unique features include a gleaming chrome hood ornament, a diamond-tufted leather interior and bejeweled fuel filler. Under the hood, a hand-built twin-turbo V8 that propels the 5,700 pound car from 0 to 60 in 5.2 seconds. Kick it enough and you’ll hit 100 mph in 12.1 seconds on your way up to 179 mph. If you’re not a fan of the roar of the engine and wind at light speed, just crank up some 808s & Heartbreak in the Azure’s 1,100-watt stereo.
Ubiq Grace Patent Shoe Pack
Ubiq has just dropped these patent versions in white, black and red colourway.

Public School Goodland Jacket
Rather young brand Public School has caught our interest right from the beginning, when we first saw the collection at Capsule in New York. The smart addition of little details and interesting cuts made them stand out, without the use of color at all actually.
In their Autumn/Winter 2008 collection we came across the Goodland Jacket. The black varsity style jacket comes with a heavy wool exterior and debatable leather sleeves, thus you can also wear it as a vest.
The Public School Goodland Jacket is now available at Oak.

Custom Louis Vuitton iPod Case For Karl Lagerfeld
Case does not really do justice to this piece that Louis Vuitton created for designer Karl Lagerfeld. The Louis Vuitton iPod case houses an entire army of iPods, as well as a full speaker system. The box comes in black leather and carried on the top Karl’s initials.

Final Home x G-Shock Mini
Japanese brand Finale Home and G-Shock worked on two watches. There is a white colorway and a black colorway, both coming in a simple design. The inspiration for the watches comes from rescue bracelets, stating the name and information of a missing person.
The Final Home x G-Shock watches are now available at Caliroots.

Lad Musician Bulky Mohair Knit Cardigans
We love Japan’s Lad Musician for many reasons. The most important being that you can indeed find the line outside of Japan - both in the North America and the EU. Another being that they make the basics that are built to last. Their collection of mohair knit cardigans are right on target with their long form fit and knit work. Seeing as Mohair is considered stronger and more durable than wool, it’s no surprise Lad Musician used this textile in production.

BBC | Ice Cream “Globe” Gloves
If you lack the manual dexterity to throw up the infamous Star Trak/Vulcan handsign, BBC | Ice Cream unveil their “Globe” gloves. In Ninja Turtles/Nike Air Rift fashion, the gloves are seperated between the middle and ring fingers. The fleece body features logos on both the backhand and two-toned palm. Available now at BBC | Ice Cream Tokyo.

We present you the new collection by French brand Hixsept - A Diagonal Line. Once again the brand plays with both graphics, as well as cuts, offering an innovative selection of t-shirts. Lots of contrasts and bold prints, bundled with some smart cuts.
Louis Vuitton Enters Skate Market
Obviously the title is a joke, but with the re-opening of their Omotesando Store in Japan, Louis Vuitton has released two new sneakers, that look a lot like your favorite Vans. Actually they are pretty much exactly the Sk8 Hi’s and Lo’s. The hi top sneaker comes with denim side panels and the LV signature monogram design. The lo top sneaker is a little bit more subtle and features the monogram embossed.
Erik Hart Holiday 2008 Menswears Collection
As they put it, “Staying close to their fall collection, the color palette is predominately black and gray. The collection features a nice balance of classics and fashion forward pieces. In addition to nice clean pieces like trousers and coats, Hart incorporates an undercurrent of trends in this collection.” The collection’s monochromatic palette is solid and approachable

Revolver 2008 Winter Collection
We were wondering about that shirt Kanye West was sporting (see pic below) in the South Eastern leg of his Glow in the Dark Tour. Clothing company, REVOLVER, recently celebrated their 10 year anniversary in Paris, before returning back to Tokyo to release these pieces from the 2008 Winter collection. Inspired by 80’s hip hop style and fashion, REVOLVER designer, Kiri, collaborated with French artist SO ME for its latest addition to Japanese streetwear.
