Lacoste - 24 Teeth

A few weeks ago I was invited to the launch of the new range from Lacoste. The range consists of 3 sneakers that have been inspired by the heritage of the brand, all 3 pairs have been made with materials that match the original tennis racket used by Rene Lacoste.





With the launch of this new range Lacoste also gave us a preview of the new site '24teeth.com' (a crocodile uses 24 teeth to tear apart its pray). The site is an opportunity for customers to see more of the design/inspiration process that goes into creating a shoe. Its standard procedure for a brand to have a blog these days but with this site you get more of a feel for the art direction of Lacoste. I'm really interested in the concept of allowing customers behind the scenes access that brands have been adopting over the last few years. We should all be interested in where our product came from and the process in which it was conceived.



The art direction for Lacoste has always been of decent standard but on having a good look through the '24Teeth' website I feel that that standard has been improved. Some of my favourite campaign images...

Out to my mate Al for these.

That Spring Jacket.

I know weather wise where all in some cold and horrid times but
If your anything like me and like a good outer wear piece, then you would already have a keen eye out for that all in important spring jacket.
One that's not to warm for the day time but not cold for the night and can go with any fit in your wardrobe.

Here are ones I've come across so far. They all may not be extremely light weight but i think they could all do a decent jobs.

Comme Des Garcon X Mackintosh



Mackintosh



Mountain Providence Parka - Special edition



Moncler X Comme-Des-Garcons
Minus all the malahkey, the yellow and read jackets look more than decent
I pray that the inner lining isn't that awful puffy jacket.



Junya-Watanabe X Carhartt - jacket

Ivy league collection piece
The grey quilted buttoned top looks like a healthy alternative to a Lavin piece.



Universal Works - waxed fell jacket



Can't even remember the brand for this but will find it out in due time.



A piece I came across on oki-ni (check there website and your sure to find it)



Ivy league collection piece
(Navy jacket on the left)



Heritage Research - Northwest trail parka 3

Time for Peace - Otis Sommerville Marchbank

I've heard some great music over the past few months, being a part of BNTL i'm spoilt for choice to some of the best mixes on the planet. This mix (or should I say compilation) from my good friend Otis is different though.....sometimes all you want to do is kick back and be taken away...

Listen HERE.

Dont take my word for it though, this is what people with musical intellect had to say about the compilation...

I'm a tough guy ... you know, I don't easily get moved, definitely not the sentimental type, but upon hearing this mix I almost cried ... It is possibly one of the most beautiful, aurally stimulating 56 minutes I've had in a long time. Otis sprung this one out of nowhere and I seriously haven't stopped listening to it since... gorgeous. Guido Fawkes (NutsToSoup)

Not sure if words will do this one justice...adjectives defy me. Like all good journeys, make sure you're emotionally and mentally prepared before you embark. This mix will take you places you never even dreamed of. Danna Takako (Fabric London)

Trainerspotter x Liberty

For me this collaboration nearly 7 years ago is still one of the best things to come out UK 'streetwear'. Trainerspotter and Liberty have teamed up again....








Directed by Steven Mann and shot by Neil Bedford.

'In 2003 Trainerspotter reinvented the iconic 1980's Windjammer jacket with a literal interpretation of sport meets fashion. By taking the silhouette of a staple piece of sportswear and then (de) constructing it by juxtaposing the lightweight waterproof nylon against floral Liberty print fabric they created a true sports fashion garment.

The jackets were an immediate success in the UK and Japan, with a high demand they sold out quickly and were repeated in small limited runs over the season.

For spring summer 2010 Trainerspotter have been asked to revisit this project by Liberty of London and produce 3 new Trainerspotter x Liberty Jammers.

The result is three luxe versions of the 2003 originals. Made in England from floral Liberty prints with British Millerain wax cotton, Nickel Swiss RiRi zippers, Worsted Wool rib cuffs and cotton cambric lining, each style of limited numbered editions and can be found exclusively at Liberty of London.'
