There’s a new line from Italy called 830 Sign whose look book images for Fall/Winter 2010 we got last week and, from the looks of things, the line is hot!
Imagine going back to a time when denim was dyed by bare hands, when detail was deliberate and could not be overlooked and the subtle nuances were what set each garment apart. Going back to a time when the quality of each piece added to our wardrobe lasted beyond our years, creating the charm of a treasure we would find in our grandparents closet.
Using superior cashmere and Japanese denim as a keystone for the brand, every piece is carefully created by hand. It is the defining characters that are so subtly embedded in the pieces that make the brand every bit custom.
Check out the images below. Don’t forget to check out 830 Sign’s site, as well as their Facebook page. (more…)

Thank god for Lift in Tokyo. They’ve taken some really great pics of the Fall/Winter 2010 collection for m.a+. If it weren’t for them, unless you go into a store that carries the line, you may never get to see what it’s all about. The designer — Maurizio Amadei — keeps thing very hush hush and rarely responds to email requests at all.
You know we can never get enough of hot bags — leather, Tyvek, canvas, you name it. Unfortunately, most of the time our taste far exceeds our pocket book. Dreaming is just something we do.
We’re really loving the Fall/Winter 2010 menswear collection by New York label Nicholas K.
There’s a store in Oslo called Freudian Kicks that sells some of our favorite lines — Odeur, Chronicles of Never, Horace, Uniforms for the Dedicated, Unconitional — that you should definitely check out. Great selection.
We are scouring the globe to find out about everything that’s going on in menswear for you. Up now, casual basics line Shake Appeal’s look book images from Fall/Winter 2010.
Check out the Fall/Winter 2010 line from yet another Japanese menswear — Ouret. We don’t know too much about them and their site’s in Japanese. We got images of the collection, though, that we think are pretty hot.
You ever go to a really amazing foodie restaurant and bite into whatever it is you ordered and stop and think “Wow. This is THE best thing I’ve ever tasted.” Whatever it is the chef did isn’t usually particularly earth-shattering, it’s either the simplicity and quality of the ingredients and/or a clever combination of things that only a master could conceive. You know the feeling?
