Right off the heels of Comme Des Garçon and The Generic Man most recent success with the two coming together to produce the Long Wing brogue, CDG revisits their relationship this season, now utilizing one of The Generic Man’s casual sneaker, the Hunting Lo. This rendition of the Hunting Lo takes on an extremely simple and subtle approach, implementing a premium leather upper, sitting atop a vulcanized sole, while completely doing away with any branding. The CDG Hunting Lo is available in three different colourways such as black, brown, and green and is available at END CLOTHING.

Not sure how this slipped through the cracks yesterday, but one of this fall’s more interesting collaborations, the union between The Generic man and Comme des Garçons SHIRT line, get the film noir treatment as the first proper in-depth look at the collection in whole. Taking inspiration from the Jean-Luc Godard classic “Two or Three Things I Know About Her”, the Generic Man wingtip takes on new life under the guidance and influence of Rei’s brand. Its timeless appeal remains but the refreshing additions show the true mean of progression in menswear. A stunning visual example of brand collaboration done with respect.

The Generic Man have worked alongside Citizen Jones and Industry Films to release this branded short film entitled Tokyo/Glow.

Written and directed by Jonathan Bensimon and produced by Jonas Bell Pasht, Tokyo/Glow follows the nighttime journey of an illuminated man from a crosswalk sign as he embarks on an adventure through the streets of Tokyo. Shot on location throughout Tokyo using thousands of individual digital stills, the short film features original music by indie rock band Kidstreet, who recently signed with Nettwerk Records and will be releasing their debut album worldwide in 2010.

“We were excited to have the opportunity to collaborate on such a unique film project that captured the sensibility of The Generic Man, while offering a distinctive marketing opportunity for our company,” says Kevin Carney, partner at The Generic Man, who worked closely with filmmakers Bensimon and Bell Pasht to develop the concept for Tokyo/Glow. Adds partner Brandon Day, “Given our brand’s recent expansion into Asia, we are pleased to feature Tokyo so prominently in the film.”

To achieve the striking effect of the “illuminated man,” an original light suit was constructed using hundreds of feet of high-voltage LED rope lights and a translucent nylon outer shell. The production had its set of additional challenges, not the least of which was avoiding the Yakuza – Tokyo’s notorious mafia – while shooting extensively
in their territory without permission. “We wanted to capture our illuminated lead actor in some of Tokyo’s most cinematic night-time neighbourhoods, something which required a guerilla spirit,” says director Bensimon, who has directed spots for such major brands as McDonald’s, Axe, Molson and BMW. “Subtlety isn’t exactly an option when you’re walking through the mafia’s territory with a high-voltage human light source,” says producer Jonas Bell Pasht, who previously collaborated with Bensimon on the award- winning 2009 feature film You Might As Well Live.

“It is always hugely gratifying to see one of our directors collaborating on a project that affords so much freedom and creativity,” says Tina Petridis, owner and executive producer of Industry Films. “We are thrilled with the beauty and poignancy of the final product.”

Michael Lambermont, executive producer at Alter Ego in Toronto, oversaw the effects-heavy post-production process, which included weeks of extensive rotoscoping and compositing in the facility’s two Flame suites, plus a final colour grade, once the effects were complete. Geoff Ashenhurst, editor at Stealing Time, was charged with bringing the thousands of digital stills to life with director Bensimon.
