Number (N)ine

I came across this really awesome photo spread of Number (N)ine for Huge Magazine and i couldn't help to re-blog about it. Number (N)ine is a Japanese menswear brand. Not everything is as dark as these images portray but there is a definite musical influence in his lines. Don't bother looking for their latest collection Number (N)ine's last collection was in 2009 named "A closed feeling'

Julius

Julius is a dark avant-garde Japanese brand. Julius originally started in 2001but the first collection didn't show until 2005. His Fall/Winter 2010 collection was named [goth_ik;] and it describes the essence of the brand. These are images from his newest collection. I really like the energy this collection shows and although its menswear Id like to wear a few things in there myself.

J. Smith Esquire

I never wanted anything to do with the royal wedding but coming home late last Thursday I turned on the TV to see what the fuss was about. I immediately recognized all the Philip Treacy hats (which by the way it woulda sucked to sit behind one of those really big ones). Seeing as this might spark a trend in America I decided to blog about one of my favorite hat makers, J. Smith Esquire. His hats are edgy and inspirational. He has been featured in many magazines including Vanity Fair, Italian, French, Japanese, German, and English Vogue, W magazine, and Los Angeles Times just to name a few. His newest collection is Illuminated check it out.
