Live At Project | Android Homme
January 16th 12, 15:45

As we continue our coverage from Project we turn our attention to Android Homme. The label has received a great response while they continue their pursuit of progressive footwear that lives within a category seemingly on its own. The unique blend of functionality with high fashion aesthetics sees the brand becoming a favorite within an ever expanding demographic. From this point forward the label will focus on two Labels a diffusion line AH by Android Homme and Android Homme. For project we selected a few of their standout pieces to showcase, the Supernova, the Propulsion 1.5, and lastly the Accelerator, their interesting take on the driving show. The Supernova represents their latest R&D development in Italy as interesting leathers are paired with traditional cupped soles all hand tooled in Italy.

Live At Project | Lexdray London Garment Bag
January 16th 12, 14:57

Although Lexdray may be in their jovial state as a luggage brand you can not mistake rise as a fad. Since their debut, their pieces have provided functionality driven luggage for everyone from the everyday traveller to the most seasoned of voyagers. For the Upcoming Fall 2012 collection they will introduce the London Garment Bag, a piece that is head-scratchingly brilliant, making you comprehend why a piece similar to it hasn’t been introduced to market as of yet. The exterior features all of the your standard compartments you would come to expect from a typical day bag, the real magic lies within the compartmentalized interior which provides a great way to organize your garments and essentials for a 3-4 day trip. While this bag offers the ideal compartment set up, one detail that struck a nerve is the stationary hanging system, which allows you pick from each compartment without having to unload all of your items. Expect to see the Lexdray London Garment Bag at your local Lexdray dealer in the fall.

Good Guys Fall/Winter 2011 Collection
January 10th 12, 17:08

Drawing inspiration from 1950’s mens footwear Parisian label Good Guys may seem like your standard label from the surface but their message lies much deeper within their pieces. While the silhouettes may seem familiar to those who have followed the trends currently in footwear, the Unisex label had added an eco friendly twist by producing their entire line with eco friendly non animal based materials, something we haven’t seen much of in this type of casual footwear. The usage of eco friendly materials doesn’t detract from the quality craftsmanship expressed in the sense of a true Parisian line.

Krane Spring/Summer 2012 Small Leather Goods Collection
December 28th 11, 16:36

Known for his supremely executed outerwear and bags, Ken Chow continually progresses his Krane label by introducing bold pieces dashed with Ken’s ideals of vintage uniform wears and modern industrial design. While those whom have come in contact with anything from his label can attest to its superior craftsmanship the label has seemingly flown under the noses of many, amassing a underground cult following. For the upcoming Spring/Summer season Krane will introduce luxurious smaller “object of desire” leather goods to extend the reach of the much larger collection. By utilizing supple deer, and washed lamb skins the goods are kept inline with the premium offers the label has come to be known for, just in a smaller package. Four different pieces will be offered; two differently styled card holders, a zip wallet, and a bi-fold wallet. The small goods collection is currently exclusively available at Fred Segal Man with global retailers offering in the coming months.
