LIVE FROM CAPSULE NY: Beautiful Fül
February 6th 12, 11:43
As we round out our lasting bit of coverage from Capsule not to long ago we turn our attention to a SLAMXHYPE favorite, Beautiful Fül. For the upcoming Fall/Winter 2012 collection the label will present one of their most refined and expansive collections to date. With a much more in-depth preview coming in later weeks we wanted to gather a bit of perspective from owner Alejandro about the lines inspiration. What we were given was an enlightened story that interweave with the pieces in the collections effortlessly, bringing life to the garments not seen often these days in menswear.

Obscur Autumn/Winter 2012 Lookbook
January 30th 12, 17:24

While much of the fashion world has ridden the coat tails of the current themes of rustic faux heritage “menswear”, Richard Soderberg, seemingly isolated from the civilized world, has taken hisObscur label to great heights by continuing to produce highly conceptualized garments that aim to progressive rather then regress. His Autumn/Winter 2012 collection, entitled “Static”, continues the Swedish designer’s focused vision for fashion with seasonally garments that evoke an sense of drama via off axis constructed pieces, elongated leathers. There is a really interesting approach taken to the construction of each piece as the entire collection lends its self for varying levels of draped looks which can be seen as unapproachable.

3×1: A First Look Video
January 23rd 12, 17:35
We love what the label 3×1 is doing with their denim line. By presenting a truly transparent approach to each and every piece that will bare their moniker, the label has amassed an significant following in relatively a short period of time as fan flock to their revolutionary approach. Their New York studios are truly an experience to be had by anyone who is even remotely curious about the meticulous and tedious process and thought that goes into the simple production of a single pair of denim. For those whom aren’t able to attend the space 3×1 has prepared a brief video that gives a bit of a glimpse into what goes on within the walls of 15 Mercer St.

nonnative continues to be a favorite of the SLAMXHYPE crew and their Spring/Summer 2012 collection looks to solidify their position by providing a refreshing take on simplicity and relaxed usually seen from the season.

As we continue our coverage from Project we turn our attention to Android Homme.

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.
