A Bathing Ape release a wide variety of apparel and accessories for the month of July. Amongst the items are a selection of new graphic t-shirts, raglans, polos, button-downs, and pants paired with various accessories including keychain carabiner wallets, keychains and a couple of footwear pieces in their Birkenstock-esque Lucky Sta sandals. All are now available through Bape flagship locations.
Basics are dubbed so because they work on everyone and crosses all boundaries. The Fall/Winter 2009 Collection from A.P.C surprises us and makes basics a tad less boring and that much more interesting with some skilled mix and match. With simple familiar pieces such as button downs and jackets in various monotones and fundamental patterns, A.P.C created various personas for us– the school boy in sweater layered over button downs and pants; the swanky popular kid in matched orange get up of leather jacket and pants; the sleek trustfund baby in fitted dark denim paired with red shirt and black blazer. The only pieces that are not so basic are the acid washed jeans and babyblue overalls. Surprisingly, when paired with the other pieces from the collection, both items still looked practical and wearable. If you are looking for well-tailored and fitting pieces to go with the rest of your wardrobe, the A.P.C Fall/Winter 2009 Collection is a great way to go, and is now available online through A.P.C.
Newly released from BAPE are some season appropriate suede and leather Chukkah inspired boots. The angled and boxy silhouette is paired with thick cream rubber soles. The words “Manhunt” are embossed onto the leather and suede in basic fall colorways of brown, tan and black. A small logo decorates the side heel panel of the shoes. These shoes look functional and comfortable enough to wear into the wild, but since these are “Manhunt” boots, we suppose they would be more at home for a night out in town.

Levi’s continues their limited edition monthly releases with a new pair being made available for July. This latest installment features a replica version of their 501 denim from the 1920’s, dubbed the Heath after the name of the student who discovered the original jeans from a Nevada mining town of Gold Hill. The jeans come equipped with a vintage distressed finish, oxidized detailing, and button flaps. Available now through Levi’s Japan.
Selfridges is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year and asked a number of brands such as Coca-Cola, Converse, Creed, Dutalit, Diptique, Levis, Marc Jacobs, and Ralph Lauren, to create centennial birthday products in their famous Pantone 109 Yellow.
Not many things last 100 years, but people have been wearing jeans for that long.
Our multi-pocket-jean has been with us since the inception of our brand, so we thought this iconic jean was the perfect match for such an iconic store. We created the Selfridges centenary jean by fitting 95 extra miniature pockets onto a standard 5 pocket jean. Along with the jean, we also produced 100 unique embroidered T-Shirts. Like everything we make, both the jean and the tee are constructed utilizing time-tested construction and materials - from chain-stitching to rope-dyed unbleached woven cotton - they can only be found at the Evisu counter at the 400 Oxford Street London Selfridges store.
The party kicked off May 1st and will continue throughout the Summer. The first of our centennial events will be master paint writer Kanji Kohanda customizing jeans on May 30th. We know hand-painted pockets won’t last 100 years, but faded paint, just like falling indigo, marks the natural progression of time. We will keep you posted, but for a greater list of the spectacles please visit Selfridges.
