Im UNDFTD

UNDFTD and its latest round of spring and summer collection releases have started hitting retailers. The sports-centric brand put together the following lookbook to convey the brand’s direction for this season. A strong visual identity has always been part of UNDFTD’s aesthetic as we see a few interpretations of the UNDFTD logo as well as the addition of accessories.

Top Man on The Top Floor

Topman Design recently presented its new collection for Fall 2010, offering a more refined palette of inspiration as opposed to the retailer/brand’s more casual lines. Below is a detailed account of the collection, with words courtesy of Style.com’s Tim Blanks.
Topman has been a major underwriter of the growing men’s fashion scene in London, as well as a participant in the MAN group show that, in the past, helped designers like Kim Jones to find their feet in the business. Today, the last day of London fashion week, Topman finally flew solo, with a whole show devoted to the label’s Fall collection. It was brilliant. Kudos to design director Gordon Richardson and his creative team, but the shadowy genius behind the presentation was stylist Alister Mackie. He took the same military track as Christopher Bailey at Burberry, referencing the precision, the cut, the color scheme of army uniforms from both world wars. And Mackie proved, like Bailey before him, that there is no better-looking coat than an officer’s coat. The parkas were pretty cool, too. But the collection wasn’t simply a soldier’s story redux. While Topman was still part of a group show, there were restrictions on the breadth of the offering. Today, Mackie was able to show some great knitwear and ombré prints that looked a little like war-blasted terrain, or maybe just trees in winter. Either way, a reminder that Mackie is a dark soul.

We do it for the Ladies

Using his trademark ability to mix prints and colors enjoy a look at the very cool Collaborative collection of Kehinde Wiley and Puma for Spring/Summer 2010. One of the few lookbooks I would not mind hanging on my wall. A closer look on the next page.

The old learn from the Young?

So I have my group of friends who are my age and older and I feel im wiser than everyone lol, which basically makes me not that wise but it just feels good thinking that. I have three lil annoying friends whom I respect greatly. They challenege me everyday, They always tell me Im not wise and not that old becuase Im a sophmore and they are freshman. Its funny becuase I used to be like them, they think they know everything, they liek to have fun all the time, and ect. The crazy thing is when people are young they tend to talk while thinking and ind=stead of thinking before talking and they always say things that get me to think...and its good becuase they will one day be wise, they are headed in the right direction. Its just great to see young people trying to teach the old when they dont know much...and if they ever read this they would prolly tell me to shut up, but its a refreshing group of friends who bring a new mind frame of thinking into life. So I am the old learing from the young, which is not a bad thing, young people have a lot to say. Its about time for me to get even more focused and fall back from FACEBOOK and stop being too out there.

Consistently showcasing the fact that his design talent did not stop at neckwear, enjoy a look at Timo Weiland’s Women’s Collection for Autumn/Winter 2010. Definitely a young designer to keep an eye on…

Word Up

Japanese brand corvette by exit for dis offers a interesting mix of garments that make up its Spring/Summer Collection for 2010. Not only is the brand name a bit unorthodox, but the styles showcased offer just a bit of everything, from classic plaid shirts to more avant garde style pieces. A list of retailers and further information on the brand can be found through Jamool.
