‘les cravates par Hermès’
“Hermès, house of quality, is world renowned for its fine silk, and particularly for ties. They embody fine craftsmanship, masterful design and timeless style.
We expect to receive innovative and original pattern designs for ties that brighten up men’s wardrobe. we want to be surprised by refined ‘all-over’ designs - repeating or non repeating patterns in which the motifs recur in a design covering the entire cloth. You are asked to develop a new pattern that could be either a re-interpretation of the Hermes classic patterns (equestrian -, sport -, marine theme, whimsical animal motifs, geometric variations including stripes, plant and flower designs and the H delicately imprinted across the surface of the tie) or something completely different, that could be used for the silk-screen printing – or weaving technique.” – designboom

OH MY! Omelle Pt.II
Filed Under Heels | 2 Comments
Back in March I wrote about Omelle’s Spring 2009 pieces. I am happy to present Omelle’s Fall 2009 line… eat your heart out.
“Nicole LaFave’s background in knitwear design peeks through in the E Group, featuring knits incorporated into the shoes and the F Group explains her fascination with pockets. The G Group is inspired by LaFave’s graphic design background and paper envelope obsession, and the H Group exposes a signature hex shape from the Spring/Summer 2009 collection. The color palette is an extension of the Spring/Summer 2009 approach. Interesting neutrals play with a variety of textiles and materials which include cabled knits, merino wool, felted fabric, lush bright patent, and rich suede and calf skins. The collection hits stores and online in late August to early September.” – Nitrolicious

Hikaru Matsumura “The Unique Bag” Collection:
“Incorporating a respect of baseball design through the meticulous weaving and durability of baseball gloves and baseballs itself, Japanese designer Hikaru Matsumura took these inspirations rather literally in the creation of his “The Unique Bag” collection. While the large scale bags may be too closely tied to their baseball roots, the other items such as small coin pouches and pencil cases are a little more figurative and present themselves as a nice balance between innovation and interpretation. One of his most interesting philosophies is that he feels as though numerous bag offerings are often too straight and square in shape and wanted to incorporate more curvatures into the overall aesthetic.” – Hypebeast

GUYS: Burn those F%$#ing boardshorts
Filed Under Fashion | 2 Comments
Dear gentlemen,
You all look like a bunch of clowns. Everytime I go to the beach I see you with your goofy, below-the-knee boardshorts. I hate you… I really really hate you. Update your LIFE… get hip, get with it. I guarantee Valet’s guide to a new swimsuit will bring you plenty of much needed bonus points on the sand.
Fuck off,
Dane.

The Rules of the Game

Dave turned me on to this great interview with Rick Owens yesterday via Twitter.
“I’ve lived in Paris for six years, and I’m sorry to say that the Ugly American syndrome still exists. Sometimes you just want to say “Stop destroying the landscape with your outfit.” Still, from a design standpoint, I’m tempted to redo the fanny pack. I look at it as a challenge—it’s something to react against.” – Rick Owens
