is this the most attractive watch in the world? Along with the TAG Monaco I’d say so.
Now would any jeweller fancy giving me one for an extended trial and review? 😉
Apparently this is not a belated April Fool’s joke. To celebrate their respective 25th birthday’s British ‘not as funny as it used to be but still pretty good’ gutter humour comic Viz and American ‘not as good as it used to be but still pretty good skatewear label’ Stussy have hooked up with a line collaborative t-shirts. They’re not fantastic (I’m not a fan of the plain white tee with a logo on) but I have to admit to being a little tempted by the one with Big Vern spraying the Stussy logo in bullet holes. This place is stocking them.
Could be good, could be crap. Designer Sales are holding a Sample Sale this weekend (Fri 3rd – Sun 5th) at Studio 95 on Brick Lane. The flyer claims they’ll have stuff from Fake London, Duffer and YMC amongst many others, although I haven’t been so it could actually be stuff from Cromwell’s Madhouse for all I know. £2 admission.
Sefton in Upper Street, Islington is a menswear shop with labels like You Must Create, John Smedley & Comme des Garcons. They also have their own range of very colourful socks which would make excellent presents (as they are so smartly wrapped and boxed).
is a Green Paul Smith Lizard Skin wallet
Annoyingly, “Sorry this product is not currently available to buy”.
UPDATE: The Paul Smith shop in Covent Garden now has this wallet in a not particularly attractive grey/white and a very stylish red. Unfortunately it’s £189.
A nice basic belt from River Island:
If you like Birkenstock’s funky sandals check out this German ebay supplier. They carry end-of-lines for a fraction of the UK price, delivered in 5 days. Whatever you do. don’t buy their trainers though, they ming.
Finally this shirt
is back in stock, and will shortly be winging it’s way over the atlantic to me…
EDIT: I have received it, it’s beautiful. I’ve noticed that Urban Outfitters in Covent Garden have started to stock this and various other Imaginary Foundation t-shirts.
Rather like this t-shirt featuring some Marvin-esque grumpy robots from Zeroboutique. Note to the webmaster of that site: if you need to have 10 point instructions on how to select a shirt – something’s too complicated.
Perusing the shops of Covent Garden on Saturday it seemed that the anorak/cagoule/windcheater is back. Out has gone the high-tech, gore-tex, extreme rambler look, replaced by a more retro, classic style. 6876 have gone for the full blown, yellow, Souwester look (see above) but cut it in a nice causal shape that looks surprisingly smart. Boxfresh have gone for a more, murky, almost camoflague look, however best of all is the ever reliable Penguin. Navy blue with white piping (unfortunately no images online) it’s the kind of thing that would have got you beaten up at school admittedly. Now however, combined with a short-sleeve check shirt, it rocks a preppy Happy Days look. Available in Urban Outfitters, Covent Garden
