Acne is fast becoming one of my favourite brands. It would be better if I could actually afford (and justify) spending that much money on clothes. One day! In the meantime I can still lust over the latest collection! Acne designer Jonny Johansson sent out a Morrocan inspired SS12 collection. He remixed the traditional with today’s street styles resulting in a cool, graphic collection punctuated with bold separates, grounded by a denim palette of white, black, and blue. Wide legged bermudas, cropped tops and trousers, knee length skirts and leather in the color scale we’ve seen around lately, mustard greens and yellows, orange and pink. Love it! Check out the lookbook on the flipside.

Will I ever wear Beckham branded bodywear? Probably not. I don’t like the idea of wearing boxers with another man’s name on it – plus how many people are going to see your boxers?! Anyway, let’s talk about the man himself. If you’ve read the site for a while then you’ll know I have looked up to him for a long time. It sounds sad but he’s inspired me since I was kid – back then mainly because of his style but then as I grew up it was more to do with his passion and enthusiasm for his art. He perfected his craft; at the peak of his career no one could consistently bend it like Beckham. He’s a family man, a brand and a style enthusiast. Of course I’m a fan boy #pause, so there was no way I was going to miss this event. I wanted to capture the legendary no.7 with my lens. More on the reverse.

I know i’m not the only one that starts a regular routine of fitness and exercise at the gym which lasts about 3 weeks but then after that nothing….. Id o it all the time. I always say i’m going to make sure that I keep it up and continue to work out for a sustained period of time but there’s just something wrong with my motivation. Correction, the real reason is that i’m Lazy but let me stop talking about my lack of commitment and start talking about what I intended this post to be about. The lookbook for Dolce & Gabbana‘s upcoming Spring/Summer Gym-wear Collection has found its way to the world wide web. When I first had a look at what is on offer all I could think about is my failings at trying to get fit but then my attention soon turned to the clothes on display and the grey Italia ensemble in particular. Now that outfit I can rock with, might have to cop that. Any who peep the collection after the break. Notice how I didn’t even comment on the models body, yh thats cause i’m trying to not be jealous and the only way to do that is to not acknowledge lol *sigh*

With the hundreds of fashion labels out there, it’s easy to forget the one that started it all…in terms of Denim that is! Levis pay homage to their beginnings through the recently launched ‘Levis Vintage Clothing‘ website. The site works both as an encyclopedia on all things Levis Denim from the conception 501 right down to a directory for latest Levis Vintage Clothing collections and stockists. The Levis brand holds so much history, to be honest it’s about time they launched something of the kind- would have made life easier for me during A Level business studies that’s for sure…God I AM old! Anyway, the quality of the content is equally matched by the website’s design and though an obvious requirement, I really like the vintage look and feel along with the use of pasty/pastel shades.

A few years ago if you told me about Wrangler‘s lookbook coming out, I wouldn’t have the care in the world. In the past 2 years, the brand’s identity has changed – new creative director perhaps? Whoever it is, his/her work has been glorious. Each and every season has had good campaigns with memorable imagery – red, stunt and we are animals. This time round, it’s much more toned down and not your cliché lifestyle shoot with the folks walking in the countryside but with a twist. The lookbook is impeccable, natural lighting shot imagery filled with a range of action shots to highlight the comfort of the clothing. The clothing? BLEH – it doesn’t excite me, not the menswear anyway. The womenswear jackets are nicely constructed whereas the same can’t be said for most of the men’s jackets, the fit is a bit odd. I’m no Denimologist (making up words) so you’ll have to judge the quality of the selvedge. There is nothing really ‘edgy’ about the clothing. Hop on after the cut to peep it all.
