Slvstr ‘Season:00′ Look Book.

For a long time, I’ve been looking for clothing with simple style, that still stands out from the gambit of street wear out there right now. Recently I found exactly what I was looking for when I was introduced to the Slvstr line. The first collection styled to mock current luxury brands instantly intrigued me. And Slvstr’s “Blue Panther” ideology behind the clothing got me interested in more work from the lead designer Reggie Sylvester. To find out more check out the official site at Slvstr.com

The Mayfourteeth Look Book.

Introducing the Spring/Summer 2012 Mayfourteenth Eyewear collection. The 2012 frames were inspired by the tranquility of island life and wanderlust, and draw from elements resemblant to the striking patterns and colors of the beaches and jungles of coastal South America.

The new campaign was photographed by Dustin Aksland at his Manhattan studio and inspired by Ishla Grande and the coastal bungalows of Angra Dos Reis, Brazil.

The new collection uses a contrasting color palette of chocolate browns and carmel yellows inspired by the delicious torte and dulce de leche from the Villa do Abrao desert carts, mixed with moody blues and crystals reminiscent of the sun beaming off of the islands clear waters. Subtle tortoise and jaguar markings continue the theme of deviated patterns from nature.

Continuing with the theme of contemporary classic, Mayfourteenth’s delivery focuses both on texture and form. Thicker, bigger, and bolder frames all wearable from summer through autumn. Mayfourteenth Eyewear is handmade using vintage Mazzucchelli acetate and fitted with optical quality CR-39 lens. Made with careful hands and designed with sophisticated style.

B.ez.

B.ez the brand is an ambiguous experimentation found at the intersection of three different, but like-minded individuals. It encompasses an attempt to use the creative mind as the vessel for freedom of expression on the quest to chase one’s dreams and ambitions. B.ez is not your father’s t-shirt brand nor is it shaking up the clothing industry. B.ez is not claiming to be a revolutionary brand that will change your life nor is it some unexplainable movement. B.ez is simply making moves. It’s not for everyone; find out if it’s for you.

The b. is the ‘action’. It means stop talking about doing the things you want to do and just do them. Be true to yourself and just b. you. The ez is the ‘how’. The mood at which to handle your goals. It’s important to always be humble in your quest for success, as this will keep you in the right circles in the future. The octopus is the symbol of our brand; it represents creativity, wisdom, and a sense of mystery. We feel it suits our endeavors favorably and we are enjoying manipulating its appearance for the sake of intrigue.

The Nike 6.0 2012 Spring Collection.

FINALLY I’m on time with the game when it comes to the release of a shoe collection. All too often on this blog I’ll find some dope shoes, and either someone on my staff or one of my close friends will gently pull me aside and say “Storm… those are old as HELL. Everyone has already seen those.” So when I caught a glimpse of Nike 6.0′s upcoming Spring 2012 footwear collection I danced a little. Evolving many of its signature pro models via updated colorways and redesigned construction and some new iterations of the Paul Rodriguez V, Mogan Mid 2 SE and the Encore 2, the models incorporate the use of the new Nike Lunarlon cushioning system with an installment of silhouettes including the Braata LR and Zoom LeShot LR. Overall the arrangement maintains a minimally chromatic palette, avoiding overused patterns or textures, but I still find the entire collection quite dope.

Play Cloths x Infinite SF.

I’ve said time and time again on this blog that I’m not necessarily the biggest fashion head on the web, however, this doesn’t mean I don’t have an eye for style. The Infinite store on Post street in SF is one of the places I’ll always go to expend funds one some dope clothes. Recently during a meeting in the store I saw a shirt that really caught my eye from the brand ‘Play Cloths’, and figured I’d do some research on the entire holiday collection. Check the method, and if you like what you see, be sure to head into the store and pick some up.

‘Break A B*tch Pockets Like Jimmy Choo’.

“Break a b*tch pockets like Jimmy Choo” is a line from one of my favorite songs from Bay Area rapper A.Mo, and it didn’t really strike me how nuts some women go these designer shoes. It just so happens that Jimmy Choo is celebrating the 15th anniversary of the iconic shoe and accessory brand, by publishing a coffee table book: Jimmy Choo XV. The luxurious Jimmy Choo Chronicles presents fifteen of their most recognizable shoe designs since the companies launch in 1996. Also included are studio design sketches, red carpet shots, behind the scenes fashion photography, past advertising campaigns and a host of stunning editorials. This luxury book is this the perfect Christmas gift for every woman who dons themselves an ardent shoe lover. It is also 100% of the proceeds go towards the Jimmy Choo Foundation (which raises money for women charities) making it both stylish and worthwhile. The high-fashioned book will be made available at booksellers across the globe in February of 2012.

A second collection, also designed by Donatella Versace, will become available in January. Past designers who have collaborated with H&M include Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, Comme des Garçons, Jimmy Choo, Sonia Rykiel, and Lanvin.

Georgina Chapman Dresses.

Women’s fashion isn’t necessarily my area of expertise, (if I had my way, a corset and boy shorts would be the standard for going out clothes). But having an ever increasing number of model clients, is getting me more into appreciating the formal styles that compliment a woman’s look. Georgina Chapman is someone who a few of my runway models have been pointing out to me for a while. They’ve adored her collection since she and Keren Craig began in 2004. The delicate lace, soft satin and the tattooed legs (are they stockings? I cant tell) all come together to make another collection I’ll view over and over in admiration of both her style and the bad-ass models wearing it.
