the north face purple label summer 2012 collection

The North Face Purple Label has released part of its new Summer 2012 Collection. While keeping the principals of TNF in mind, the Japan exclusive line continues to present rather unique takes on classic TNF products. Both in terms of materials and mostly in terms of patterns and colors, the sub label is rather innovative.

As part of their Summer 2012 line we can present today new luggage pieces, including fanny packs and backpacks. Also part of the drop are new shorts and shirts with crazy all over patterns. The entirely line-up of products is now in stock at nanamica stores.

Check out all new The North Face Purple Label products after the jump.

Ivy League Trilogy – Button Up, Get Down To Business – The Oxford Shirt

ivy league oxford shirts 1 Ivy League Trilogy   Button Up, Get Down To Business   The Oxford Shirt

-The Kennedys – Ivy League Originals-

Oxford shirts, college style sweaters, brogues and a decent pair of leisure pants are a staple in every genuine male wardrobe. They radiate an air of understated sophistication and timeless classicism, that makes even the most unruly rascal seem like an affiliated and beneficial member of society. Here it doesn’t matter if you actually have an academic background, or if you dropped out of highschool to pursue the career of an eternal bartender – once again the comforting camouflage of fashion makes us all equals..

The term originated from Americas „Anchient Eight“, the East-Coast based elite universities Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Penn and Yale, its stilistic roots however lead way back into the annals of Great Britians university uniforms. A former testament of priviledged upbringing, exquisite education and most likely family wealth, Ivy League today suggests ingenuity and diversity, whilst being part of a bigger picture, now being accessible to everyone with a certain tastefulness and appreciation of quality.

Words: Nathini van der Meer

Comme des Garcons SHIRT Mix Pattern Series

Comme des Garcons SHIRT Mix Pattern Series

When it comes to patterns, Comme des Garcons is hard to beat. What has become a fashion now, after seasons of tonal, is nothing new to the Japanese brand, that has always been experimenting with bold patterns, patchwork and more.

As part of its SHIRT range for Spring/Summer 2012, they present the Mix Pattern Series. Basically they mix two or more strong patterns on the same piece of clothing – leopard and polka dots, polka dots and check, stripes and polka dots, etc. You get the idea.

A lot of pieces from the series have now arrived at Norse Store.

A further look follows after the jump.
