| Quick - 2005: December |
| Saturday, December 24th Happy Holidays - We wish you all a very pleasant Christmas. Enjoy the holidays, relax, and have fun with friends and family! Saturday, December 17th Pushead, Stuttgart - Don't miss tonight's opening of the Pushead exhibition in Stuttgart. On display will be lots of Pushead's original works, some never-before-shown pieces, and for the snkeaker crowd the brand new Nike SB Dunk Low "Bruised" designed by the man himself! The event starts at 9pm at the Skateboard Museum. Monday, December 12th iDiom - The-Glade - Here is a peek at what we'll be putting up later today. We were going to keep all of it for ourselves but then how many jackets can one wear at a time? Also - don't forget to check out our Penfield gear! Tuesday, December 6th Honeyee Shop - Sorry for the odd feeling, but why is it that on Yahoo! auctions no one will ship outside of Japan, and that many Japanese online stores don't serve customers from abroad? Are westerners not trustworthy or plain unworthy of Japanese goods? Sometimes it feels like it. Or is it the shipping? It's probably a much bigger effort to put a non-Japanese address on a package than a Japanese one. And at the post office - that's probably the worst... Well, Honeyee just opened their online shop - for the Japanese market only. They probably don't want to interfere with all the other SOPH., etc. dealers around the planet... Monday, December 5th ACRONYM - ...picked four pieces from their current collectionn to re-open their online store. Note: the Gore-Tex Cashmere fabric that was used on the GT-J7 you will not find on any other jacket by any other producer (or any other piece of clothing for that matter). iDiom - Just a teaser we will be receiving a shipment of iDiom Jackets for The-Glade by the end of the week. Be prepared, this stuff is amazing. Saturday, December 3rd Situationormal - These guys have a tight online-surveillance system, it seems. An extended visit to their site yesterday must have triggered an alarm. This morning we had mail in our inbox... from them. Contents: their new line of holiday T-shirts. All collaborations - SSUR, HUF, UNDFTD, J Money, Clarendon, and House 33. Great designs, excellent colors. Invest your Christmas money now. |

Evan Yurman who produced the jewelry and Vertical who made the box. Ten of these hats (60 total) will be leaking out this holiday season at the alife stores in NYC and Vancouver. The rest in early 2006. Wednesday, November 2nd Livestock - ... have just taken delivery of their Devilock T-shirts - a reference to their grand exhibition some time ago. Apparently these weren't so easy to get into the store - but we're sure they'll fly out. The quality of these is Grade A! Mowax Arts - The site is still under construction - but the flash animation is a nice place-holder, too. Nike Footscape HTM - Yes, these here will be impossible to get (you can try bidding on them on Nov. 4th at Rakuten). However, there will be more next year - a bit easier to get.

After ages of silence, MCM was finally relaunched and now they are the new "!" in the !S!gned series by adidas with a Pro Model featuring the original MCM monogram leather. 250 of these are produced with only half being sold through selected boutiques and adidas stores. Wednesday, October 5th Married To The Mob - The girls have been busy - they just opened up their own website to the public. Best thing about it - apart from the products - their gallery. See if you can spot some familiar faces... Commonwealth - The 8th is a big day for Commonwealth: it's the opening day for their show "I For An Eye" by Eric Coleman & Cody Hudson plus they will be celebrating their 1st anniversary.

Tuesday, September 20th Polka Dots - Even though dots have been marking Mr Fujiwara's direction in apparel design for some time now, it seems as if this year the dots are taking over. A spark might have been iDiom's Continuum jacket which became an instant classic last year. This season we have seen polka dots on everything from Visvim's Christos to Head Porter bags, UnRivaled hoodies and numerous other pieces. Here is the latest by Goodenough / Resonate. Even more exciting - those Visvim x Fragment Serras - in white-beige?!
