and that time would be fall aka get right for the winter time.
so lots of new gear has hit stores by now, and alot of its real bugged out and dumb looking as usual. So I provide you with this small sampling of selected freshness to get your gear game straight.
First up CAKE, i told ya'll about these dudes a couple months ago and now theyre back with their fall/winter 08 collection and it looks straight bananas. they stay on course with using hot ladies as the basis of most of their shirts, but they seemed to have expanded their design influence a lil bit and have come up with some really cool looks. the copped and screwwed tee featuring the chick with the trails and the cough medicine is a really great design.
Next up, is Flying Coffin who every season bring the heat with vaguely metal inspired selection of shirts, that don't actually require you to actually like metal. they really offer a great alternative to the epileptic seizure inducing color pallete and styling of alot of streetwear companies that are big these days.
Rockwell is the clothing line of French artist Parra, whose well known for his hand drawn typography and simple yet subversive drawings. Parra's uses a great selection of colors in his work without getting day glow, and I really how kinda creepy and off his images are, but at the same time his character design and illustration style make em all kinda cute.
Last but not least in the "these are entirely too much fucking money, but damn. maybe if i sell some blood..." category, are the Y-3s. These are high fashion Japanese sneakers that are really slick and futuristic looking without getting into the costume-y arena. if these sneakers didn't cost $250 bucks, they'd definitely be number one on my fall playlist.
