GET YOUR HANDS ON.......MITCHUMM INDUSTRIES

Robert Mitchum gets his hands on Simone Silva

Mitchumm shirt patterns


Mitchumm cuffs with mother of pearl buttons



Mitchumm Industries @ Capsule Paris 2012

The first time I got in contact with the brand Mitchumm Industries was at The Capsule Show, Paris. They presented a full range of shirts and scarfs all stone washed with BIO wash. All shirts come with 100% mother of pearl buttons. A cool detail on the shirt is that the last button is made in a red heart-shaped button (damn, wish I had a picture to show you). The brand is a tribute to California and the American actor Robert Mitchum, the brand was born in 1976 on the West Coast in Manhattan Beach near Los Angeles. started with some T-shirts and printed swimtrunks.  Since 1983 the collection is in Italian hands and expanded to a full range. Alessandro Tino melts the best of both worlds, the American roots and the "made in Italy" identity.

Great picture story in GQ February 2012 about "the" outerwear style for Spring 2012, Parka's.

"Can't escape crappy weather? Then make peace with it." Josh Bowman, tested out the theory that everything looks brighter if you dress for the occasion in Portland Oregan, home of the rain.

DON'T BITE JUST "BARK"











The Italian knitter called Bark is famous for it's Mongomery cardigan, often seen in Italy as an extra layer, sort of a coat instead of a cardigan.
Their philosophy is to celebrate identity, AND SAY IT LOUD. It's where the name came from. Identity has never been driven by fashion; instead it's driven by personal style, with individuality being the sign of the times. This is strength of character, this is modern and this is NOW. When fashion does not feel like a series of dictations from on high but communicates what's going on, it becomes something else: STYLE.

Daily Mail: All feet on deck: Tamara Ecclestone is forced to ditch her heels and go barefoot as she launches the London Boat Show

'With shoe collection of over 200 pairs that total more than £70,000 you would think she would have worn something on her feet.
Tamara Ecclestone opened the 2012 Tullett Prebon London Boat Show at The Excel, in unusual fashion by going barefoot today.
The reality TV star wore a glamorous pink two piece outfit with black lace detail on it but was missing a pair of her trademark Louboutin's.'

Lost in Stockholm: Swedish Culture Win – Shoes Off Please

Lost in Stockholm: Swedish Culture Win – Shoes Off Please

'There’s this ongoing battle in many countries. The dispute can destroy dinner parties and make friendships awkward. Some people compare this battle to the War of the Roses, eternal until death do us part.
It is called – The Battle of Wearing Shoes Indoors!
I for one, do not allow shoes in the house. I never have. I never will.'

DENIM & SUPPLY, AMSTERDAM









Last year December, Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply opened their first stand alone store in Amsterdam. This 2 story building is packed with Denim & Supply Men & Woman. I'm still not really convinced about the products of Denim & Supply, but I really like the styling of the store. Great use of props and great styling of the merchandise. You can leave that to Ralph, they know how to do that in the best way. Come see it for yourself at Kalverstraat 55, Amsterdam

RUN FORREST RUN...NIKE CORTEZ









Nike Cortez, was born in the late 1960s, the first running shoe with the Nike Swoosh logo.
The real stardom came when the shoes hits the big screen, the moment Forrest Gump showed them off.
This summer the Nike Cortez is back in style and it's hard to believe that it's 40 years old. Pick your favorite color just from the shelve or make your own color combo with NikeID.
