Baldwin Denim Fall/Winter 2010

James from Secret Forts reports on the new and evolved-beyond-denim fall/winter collection of Kansas City based Baldwin: “Shirting in classic fabrics like chambray, gingham and oxford cloth, a blazer, pants with the same perfect fit as the denim range, accessories (ties, a KC fitted cap and a waxed canvas weekender in which to pack it all up), and a shoe in collaboration with Esquivel of California. Each of the pieces is as straight forward and wearable as the denim and all easily and cohesively work together. It’s well made, subtly detailed, sharp yet hard-wearing, clean, classic and modern.”

BRING ON THE NOISE Autumn/Winter 2010

Established in early 2007, Japanese men’s clothing label BRING ON THE NOISE has been quietly making a name for itself since. Inspired by music and counterculture, founder and designer Daisuke Konno creates a look fit for rebels with an advanced sense of style. Upon the launch of the label’s autumn/winter 2010 lookbook we asked Konno to tell us about the new collection and his future plans for the label.

Can you describe your creative process? What inspires you?

For this collection, I began to reconsider an underground culture in Tokyo again and went to various live houses to feel the atmosphere and look for something special.

Usually I take inspiration from variety of things like old photo books, vintage clothing, and fliers you can find at musical venues, as well as other things. Anything with a musical element is always inspiring.

Your new AW10 collection “Tokyo Rockers” is out now. Can you tell us about it?

Rock scene boom lost its momentum in the late 1970′s. Bringing about a breakthrough, musicians gathered and played gigs continuously in many parts of Japan. This movement is called “TOKYO ROCKERS”. The season theme is the movement spawned in the late 1970′s and early ’80′s, dawn of Punk. The brand pursues originality no other brands can create.

What are your goals for your brand?

I’d like people in the world to see and feel my collection in their hands!!! I hope I could have my own store in New York in the near future!

GANT Men's Spring-Summer 2011

Let’s skip all those lengthy descriptions and superlatives on the collection. GANT does preppy Americana. That’s it. And that’s the case with the label’s ss11 and probably any other future collection. Not surprised? We knew you wouldn’t be… Only one comment, though: we can’t overlook that speck of French touch and an Italian sense of color creeping in… Can you?

Cheap Monday SS11 Runway @ Stockholm Fashion Week

Cheap Monday’s designers Örjan Andersson & Ann-Sofie Back on their ss11 collection shown at Stockholm fashion week: “This time we wanted to try out a different aesthetic: sparkling, extrovert and shameless. For inspiration we looked at Latin denim fashions, Italian diamanté and LA celebrity taste. To get a contemporary feel in the collection we have also worked with a cleaner, more fabric focused and minimalistic look. A combination of the exaggerated and the minimalistic creates the balance for S/S 2011.”
