Not sure how good your German is, but you may be able to pick-up some of what he is saying. Berlin based Sneaker and Clothing Store OVERKILL made a short Interview with our man Kazuma (Drmtm Clothing) at the Bread and Butter Tradeshow in Berlin. All his friends know Kazu hates to be interviewed … but someone has to make the donuts!
Journalist-turned-clothier Chris Isenberg printed up his first Cassius Clay tee back in 2003 and has been indulging our nostalgia for classic moments in sporting history with his line No Mas ever since. Outside the sporting nerdetry, it's the sartorial attention to detail we really appreciate (keep an eye out for the lettering on the hoodie!) and irreverent nudge-nudge wink-wink flourishes like his unkillable series of reinvented vintage Champion sweaters. We went up to the No Mas studio last week to get a walk through of the latest collection and take a look at the newest accessory collaboration with design duo Dee and Ricky.
We have featured a multi-fun RuckJack, is a jacket and a bag, but the Vessel can be transformed a coat, a bag and a tent! This Vessel Coat Tent by Justin Gargasz. Vessel is a medium weight reversible jacket that can expand into a cocoon or collapse into sling bag. "Used when ever one feels the need to escape interactions in their present environment."
Jacket: Different weights of Cordura were used for its extreme durability and stablity. Dark Bules were choose they are unobtrusive indoor and outdoors.
Sling Bag: Entire jacket cocoon can be collapsed into it self for greater ease of transport. Arms of jacket are tied to attach bag to body.

Sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy came from Pasadena, California, to New York in the spring of 2005 with nothing more than a few dresses and coats stuffed in their suitcase. A week after arriving, they had shown their collection, Rodarte, to almost every major fashion-magazine editor and upscale retail buyer. What got them through the door? Tenacity and talent. The Mulleavys pore over every small detail in their smart, meticulous dresses. The sisters have just been asked to design a limited edition collection for the Gap. The collection, named Gap Design Editions, is part of Gap's recently announced partnership with the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund (CVFF), an initiative established to support and encourage new American design talent.

PLAID ICE CREAM FLANNELS are in apparently. Flannels are classic, I'm from the home of Paul Bunyan so I'm kinda partial to them myself. Flannels remind me of high school, rocking Eddie Bauer & Polo.

It seems like every other sneaker brand is adding the velcro strap into their line. This week at Bread & Butter PF FLYERS released some of what will be coming out this Fall 2009. Low & high top sneakers will be coming with a velcro strap and some stronger color accents.
I'M NOT MAD AT THESE. MiBlox, who made these joints, was founded by youth organizers trying to keep kids out of trouble. A portion of the proceeds goes back to the youth organization. On the sole of the shoes it reads "Peter 2:9: "But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." LOL at Ozone Mags take on these, "Hating on these too hard will almost be like booing a 6-year old singing 'Greatest Love of All' at a talent show."
Would you rock these? Or are these instant jone material? At $75 a pop, they’ll be souvenirs at the least.
THEY HAVE SOME T-SHIRTS RIGHT HERE, and they have a mean Obama festish. The video below is one of the most simple yet entertaining viral promotional videos I have seen in a while.
