A.P.C autumn 09
Received the new A.P.C look book today for autumn 2009 and was highly impressed. More so with the time and effort gone into the book rather than the clothing (in comparison with there summer collection).
Taking it out of the envelope I was surprised to see the use of some sort of woven green cotton, for the cover (right there that's a couple of grand in itself if were gonna consider how many there gonna shift out).
The layout of the product and text was simple and effective which in some sort of way reflects A.P.C and the type of the brand and clothing they produce.
The layout is almost just like being in a store.
Another nice feature they have added to the lookbook is a little magnified part of the fabric. Used for each garment, this shows one how it has been woven and gives an insight into what the texture may feel like.
Each item of clothing has been fully opened up (information wise), everything from materials, to engraved buttons, to shapes of pockets and much more has been highlighted to the point where you might as well have it in your house there and then.
Days of up and coming clothing companies printing up look books/ catalogs have been almost none existent since youtube and blogs proved to be a LOT cheaper, but I must say i as a consumer i do appreciate and prefer having some sort of physical, interactive promotion pieces rather than some average poor photographic images I'm used to seeing on a daily basis. (not to say apc is up and coming by any means but it shows they've put in the effort or to say everyone uses poor photographic images)
(The free poster was a good look as well)
Now I'm sure you realized my lack of talk on the clothing from the book, which was mainly due to fact there wasn't a great amount that jumped out at me, but there still is a few nice bits which makes it still worth the look.

Supreme AW08
I received the email from Supreme half way through my walk to work, the preview for the Autumn/Winter line was up. Something I've been anticipating for weeks and I'm sure all of you who also read Superfuture have been checking the Supreme thread daily.
Well the first thing I did when I got to work was get on the Supreme site and check out the preview. In summary another solid and consistant collection from Supreme, very similar to last year's AW collection with a few reworks and new peices added in...
No mention of Box tee's or crew's, but I'm sure that issue will be answered soon.
Anyway, this is whats gonna be making me put a dent in my bank account in the near future and a few things I like:

Jerry Springer
This week i caught the flu off some one over the telephone don't ask how
(I'm standerdly putting it down to that), so I discovered the other night
when you all drugged up on Tropicana pure orange juice
(not that concentrated fake shit) and flu tablets there ain't nothing better than a good episode of Jerry Springer to make you realize life ain't that bad.
Notice the black guy that looks like his on heroin in the corner ?
well his the one, the white guys been having a affair with !
holdtight Mc donalds for providing the toys around the tv
and to the female who once told me teletext is not cool i beg to differ !
Loving bntl like a fat kid loves cake.
