New Line!! Android Homme

Android Homme is a New York based brand with a focus on sneakers and accessories using a severe high top sihlouette and generic european sole theyve got a raf/lanvin feel but the subtleties of a pair of vans sk8-his which makes them right on the mark. The price is right too with their sneakers ranging from $200-$240 so they definately wont break the bank. Coming in pantent, and metallic leathers, its your choice to play them up or down.

"He's an unbelievable narcissist"






...uhh duh I think we all knew that. Former Lagerfeld releases a new book documenting the madness that insued while working for the legend him self, check it out. Arnaud Maillard Interview

A future so bright that i gotta wear shades

In my opinion one pair is never enough i need to have at least 3 on deck... This season Linda Farrow the vintage frame designer went collaboration crazy with the likes of Raf Simons, Bernard Willhelm, Yohji Yomamoto just to name a few. The peices are stylish and reasonable priced so a new summer pair should just be a click away. Lastly the Margiela Incognito glasses are still be far the coolest glasses Ive ever seen, not for the faint of heart but and incredible pick up indeed. In the summer sunglasses make getting dressed worthwhile so check these fresh styles and get ur shade game up...
