Fashion: Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci works with Converse - and the Y-3 Mobility Duffle

Givenchy and Riccardi Tisci have gotten together with Converse Japan to work on their Converse Addict All Star Hi sneaker. Interesting details include a tonal shiny leopard all over print on top of the black canvas upper, spiked heel and of course the added comfort with the Vibram outer sole. The sneakers will release in Japan in limited quantities on April 27th.



Made from durable Cordura Nylon, Y-3 presents the very solid Mobility Wheel Duffle as part of its Spring/Summer 2011 Collection. When it comes to backpacks and messenger bags, the choice is wide these days. But if you want something proper to travel for longer than a weekend, then this Duffle comes in a nice mix of nylon and leather and features just the right amount of details to set it apart.

You don't have to be High-Society to look like High Fashion

Fashion is one of my *hearts* (and yes, I have many hearts/loves). It's been awhile since I've blogged repeatedly and that's because I've been immersed in things more important (and that's not to say that fashion isn't important to me, because fashion is beauty and "fine lines" and intricate craftsmanship, all of the things I love). Although lately I've been studying more about "health and natural living" and I'll be blogging about some of those inspirations in the near future (my computer has had a virus that I'm trying to get rid of...lol).

So in the meantime; I'm gonna share some of my fashionable loves with you...

1. Nike NSW 2010 Fall Apparel

Nike sneakers, sure, but I'm not always the biggest fan when it comes to Nike clothing. This jacket though is bad-ass, and it has that storm-trooper kind of look; laser cut seams, a bonded construction all throughout so you know this jacket will keep you warm and dry. The technical and aesthetic design is what I always look for in my recommendations to you guys, and this is both intricate and fashionably simple. Hit the link above for more pics of this piece.



2. Converse Chuck Taylor Outsider Boot X Woolrich

I can personally testify from last season's line that Converse makes a really dope pair of boots that can look dressy depending on what you wear, and they can be rugged as well if you want them to be. The smooth leather feel, and the laces give it this military kind of look without looking too monstrously huge, with a nice tweed 3 quarter length over coat you can wear these boots and pull off a really cool look.

Converse Japan: Jack Purcells (formal and casual aesthetic)

Via: converse.co.jp



Brand new from Converse Japan are these Jack Purcells. Paradoxically capturing both a more formal and a casual aesthetic the shoes appear to be a refined, more sophisticated version of the iconic chuck taylor boot. Stand out features include the stretchy-rubber on the sides of the shoe, allowing for ease of movement, as well as the prominent heel tab and cylindrical laces to match the boot. The shoes will drop at around $90 and will be available imminently in either black or white.

CONVERSE Star Player 75 Hi - in BLACK

Via: converse.com



Don’t mistake the new CONVERSE Star Player 75 Hi for Chuck Taylor as this pair of extra padded hi tops is all about both looking sleek and getting to the hoops. This pair of hi tops is crafted in a soft all leather upper with extra padded ankle and footbed. The shoes are kept retro simple with the original Chevron Star logo with All Star heel tab. The black piping embedded in midsoles and toe cap give an added touch to the kicks.
