October 26th, 2012 | Posted in: fashion

Yes gentlemen, you also need to match your technology sleeves to your styles. They have some nice tips over at UNDSCVRD:

A great piece of technology like an iPad deserves a great case. And the Trash iPad case in black surrounds your iPad in style. Made from great quality vegetable tanned leather this case matches the entire Travelteq collection to complete that luxury look. Oh, and take a look on that nice classic watch. Totally completes your timeless classic look.

This Soft Cloudy Grey denim laptop sleeve by IKKU is designed to keep your precious laptop safe. It uses recycled denim for the outside, while the soft inside keeps your precious computer scratch free. We suggest you put on your favourite worn-out selvedge denim pants (like Nudie or A.P.C.) and if you want to go all the way, go triple denim with a sweet denim jacket from Levi’s Vintage or Naked & Famous.

Going for the more fashionable look? The P.A.P. Felt Laptop Cover in grey is a simple yet stylish cover for your laptop. It is handmade in Sweden of high quality felt. The solid brass and leather string complete the luxurious look. The ideal solution for protecting your precious computer in style. Combine this amazing felt sleeve from P.A.P. with the new Maison Martin Margiela for H&M coat and finish off your outfit with a pair of Persol sunglasses.

Bill Cunningham New York

December 21st, 2011 | Posted in: documentaries, fashion

I posted about this documentary a while back, and I finally had the chance to see it. And I loved it. A really moving portrait of an artists. A must see! Perfect for the holidays. Here’s the trailer again!

New Wallets by Bellroy

October 5th, 2011 | Posted in: bags & accessories, fashion, UNDSCVRD

My work for UNDSCVRD allows me to see the coolest bags and accessories for men. And Bellroy sure makes some of my favourite wallets. And they have added some cool new styles and colours to their collection.

The first new style is the Travel Wallet. This one holds you passport and travel related cards and paperwork in style. It comes with a small pen so you always have one on hand when you have to fill out those annoying immigration forms. Simply smart.

The Micro Sleeve is the second new addition. Don’t be fooled by its small size, because this baby carries more than you think. Easy access slots for your daily used cards, and the ones needed but not daily can be put away in the main compartment. The pull tab allows you to access these easily as well.

My personal favourite, the Slim Sleeve is now also available in cocoa (Micro Sleeve and Travel Wallet are both pictured in Cocoa above). A great quality leather which will age perfectly. Cant wait to see this one worn in. The Hide & Seek and the Very Small are also available in this awesome colour.

And finally the Bellroy squad have added a sweet new colour to the range: Russet. A nice deep red colourway. Slim Sleeve, Very Small and Take Out are now available in this colour too.

A great step for this small brand from down under. Congrats guys. Great work.

Available now on UNDSCVRD.

 

Warby Parker

April 1st, 2011 | Posted in: fashion

There are some companies that are so amazing that you can’t help but wonder how they do it. Warby Parker is one of these for sure.

Warby Parker is an online eyewear store, selling awesome designs that most of the big brands would be jealous of. But instead of $300 + for a frame, all frames cost $95,- including prescription lenses up to + or – 4.00. Just $95,-!! Amazing, right?

A collaboration between four close friends, Warby Parker was conceived as an alternative to the overpriced and bland eyewear available today. The believe that prescription eyewear simply should not cost $300+. The industry is controlled by a few large companies that have kept prices artificially high, reaping huge profits from consumers who have no other options. By circumventing traditional channels and engaging with their customers directly through their website, Warby Parker is able to provide higher-quality, better looking prescription eyewear for under $100.

They meticulously crafted their first collection of 27 limited run styles, plus one monocle, using only the finest custom acetates and materials. The Warby Parker aesthetic is vintage-inspired, with a fashion forward twist – and every pair is custom fit with anti-reflective, polycarbonate prescription lenses.

Even better, for each pair sold they donate a pair of glasses to people in third world countries. Amazing isn’t it?

So all you spectacle wearers out there, go check it out, browse the collection and try them on virtually.

UNDSCVRD

March 21st, 2011 | Posted in: fashion, websites

Sorry for not posting as frequent as I should have lately. But I have a good excuse. It’s called UNDSCVRD, which launched last week.

UNDSCVRD is a webshop with bags and accessories for men only. It is a selection of brands that focus entirely on creating bags and accessories, resulting in highly specialized products. All together they form a great collection of brands that you otherwise might not have found anywhere.

That is exactly the reason why I started UNDSCVRD. Over the years I found a lot of great brands, online and offline. But one thing I never found was one place where I could go to find these brands, be inspired and buy what I wanted. So, after looking for quite some time I decided to do it myself.

We have launched with 6 great brands. Property Of… from Singapore, QWSTION from Switzerland and the Dutch Travelteq. Besides this you find the collections of Artists Not Armies, Cote Et Ciel, and the products by Dutch designer frrry. Other brands will soon be added to the collection to create the most complete offering of great brands. Check out a small selection below.

So if you are looking for an awesome piece of luggage for yourself or a great present for your boyfriend: Go check it out! And of course let me know what you think!

Bill Cunningham New York

February 24th, 2011 | Posted in: documentaries, fashion

Before anybody had heard about The Sartorialist or Style.com photographer Bill Cunningham was already documenting fashion trends and high society charity soirées in New York for the Times Style section in his columns “On the Street” and “Evening Hours.” This documentary tells his story, and shows us the impact this seemingly humble man has had. Big names, like Anna Wintour, appear in the film out of their love for Bill, and his shots of downtown eccentrics and everyone in between. Cunningham’s enormous body of work has captured trends many trends over time. The documentary Bill Cunningham New York looks like a funny and often poignant portrait of a dedicated artist. Just have  a look at the trailer, and you can see what I mean.

The movie opens on March 16th in New York, and hopefully in the rest of the world shortly after.
