I’m not going to complain about this GANT Rugger film filtering through to my inbox, a perfect way to start the morning. Although this whole preppy look seems to be taking on a trend of it’s own, we all know GANT are one of the originals. So it’s only fitting that they expand the Rugger collection and move on from …

But for now, we have some other great design related inspiration, this one being a short stop-motion film. Although this was made earlier in the year, …

Another recap video, this time a bit longer than the previous, giving us some looks at the Capsule Trade Show which took place in Paris, June of this year.
I have to say, i’ve got a soft spot for videos that look behind the scenes of the menswear shows, but that’s probably because i didn’t go this year. So it’s …

After a few posts based on heritage based brands, like John Smedley, we now talk about a short video by men’s tailored clothing company, Oxxford Clothes.

HIXSEPT show off their newest video teaser for the upcoming fw10 collection titled “LOST EQUILIBRIUM”. This video presents the range in a perfect format, very quirky and creative to say the least. My favourite being the model sitting on a table with a pineapple. Don’t ask me what this means, but it still looks pretty random and cool.
So whatever way, …

The guys over at Put This On produce another episode, this time titled ‘Work’. As you may or may not know, Put This On is a web series about dressing like a grownup, and i guess this one delves into the subject even more. It follows through with helpful hints and tips, also delivering a good interview with director Paul …

For summer, cycling has been a main theme around these ends. An obvious brand to watch out for is Rapha, they have been making some big movements in the digital world. Covering film, especially on vimeo, and also working with Apolis Activism (who we frequently talk about) on a sweater.
To further celebrate the brand that is Rapha, they commissioned three …

Another short movie, this time by a production company called Hylas. It features stop motion and tells a heartfelt story about a circus character who loses his old friend, The Human Projectile. As he reminisces, things get from bad to worse. You will need to watch to find out. (It’s worth it, i promise)
All the models look to be hand …

Quite an imaginative collection for Wood Wood this season, probably the most fashion orientated runway show i have ever seen from them. The imagery and video below are from the Copenhagen Fashion Week showing for Spring 2011, mixing both men and women, which took place last thursday.
As they creep out from the streetwear era, these guys are really homing …
