IDEALL CLOTHING: Nollege Tee (LegendsLeague Apparell)

Via: Ideall Clothing




An independent fashion designer from Toronto by the name of Bryan Espiritu is a name well known to Torontonians who are possessed with that extra unusual flare for fashion's twist on things. His creative take on fashion has won him others from around the world who spread the word about his designs. He creates concepts that have within them deeper messages, that are brought to the forefront, and it's become a trademark style that I can honestly say is his marquee signature. I've been an admirer of his technical skill and I can easily state that he is a household Toronto name as far as dope gear goes within Toronto's artistic community.

Below is the Nollege Tee Concept...which is a twist from the word College, and it's just the right amount of defiance without seeming too revolutionary. It's definately the kind of T-shirt that's bound to get attention, and it was worthy of a post because it's something I wanna buy.

The Hundreds: Fall Winter Cut, WOOLNUFF CHARCOAL JACKET

Via: deadstock.ca



The Hundreds have a new line where you can see everything from a new colour way in their classic striped tee and clean cut crew necks to flannel button ups, Ribbed cardigans, and rain jackets. All pretty dope to me...especially there grey wooly charcoal jacket that looks clean and adaptable for both dressing it up and dressing it down.

Play Cloths: Fall Winter Apparel - PLAY JKT FIELD STAR BLACK

Via: deadstock.ca



Play Cloths is a relatively new brand, a business extension of Rap duo 'The Clipse' known for there productions with the Neptunes. The Collection’s pieces are all very well made and suitable for everyday wear. I've always been a silent admirer of this brand as I've watched it progress in style aesthetically, but now I can say that I'd rep it.

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.

Corpus Cowichin Cardigan Sweater

Via: revolveclothing.com



Warm up your day with this well priced “cowichin” cardigan from Corpus. For those looking for a special take on their cardigan look, this one will be fitting. Rather than simple, easy to use button closures, you will be greeted with three leather buckle like closures which may take more than a minute to set. All good though as we love the split color on the merino wool finish and the in trend shawl style collar.

Dr. Romanelli: Fall and Winter 2009 Collection

Via: honeyee.com



I just about like everything that Dr. Romanelli designs...honestly!

The LA designer produced some new down vests and plaid shirts for the new season. Look out for a more detailed look at the line in the near future.

Fall/Winter 2009 Jacket: Stussy x Afdicegear

Via: stussy.jp



For Fall/Winter 2009 Stussy once again worked with Afdicegear on a couple of products. This season they present a new collaborative technical jacket and some gloves. The jacket comes with a Gore-Tex shell. Both the jacket and the gloves will be released on September 19th.

Velvet Sneaker: by Martin Margiela (Fall/Winter 2009)

Available at: colette.fr



The Martin Margiela low top trainer comes as part of his Fall/Winter 2009 Collection in an all-over velvet version. Not only the sneaker upper, but also the mid-sole, outer sole and the laces are entirely covered in velvet, resulting in an overall very interesting look.
