So our friends at A Kind of Guise, also know as AKOG, sent over this wonderful set of 35mm film photography for their Spring/Summer 2012 lookbook.

Not only can we view some great photography we also get to watch a superb film placed below which was prod …

What I like about Tateno and his work is that even though he re-produces pieces that are vintage …
A brand of regular interest is 45rpm with their fantastic lookbooks and interesting clothing selections, I’m particularly fond of the textiles and the mix of materials. Take for example the above Indigo Anchor Rope Bandana which is made from a loosely woven fine gauze thread and is dyed in rich indigo.
