There definitely was nothing ordinary about ØDD‘s F/W’13 presentation at the Industria Superstudios last night. For starters the installation featured thirty models positioned on brick place-holders wedged in sand, holding LED lights. Perhaps the whole thing was a touch urban-nomad-meets-Laurence-of-Arabia. But really it was all about texture (we’re talking goat fur (!) and gauze), skilled bias-cuts, pleats, drop-crotches and draped everything. …

At the Shows – Hood by Air
Yesterday was great for many reasons: 1) it was Sunday 2) Nemo was melting 3) A$AP Rocky closed the HBA show. Yeah – for real.

A Perfectly Murderous Routine

More importantly I’m noticing that the local L.E.S kids could be stuck in an Eighties vortex – and that I might be into it. …

Mr Essentialist’s Shady Beards
The good people over at Shave Your Style recently asked me to share my thoughts (yes – sometimes I have some) on beards and sunglasses. After much investigation (involving varying degrees of mass interrogation and countless visits to Sunglass Hut) I have conjured-up a fail-safe and fool-proof system to help you flawlessly match facial hair to frame. That’s …

Miansai’s Moment
Let me level with you real quick: I’m totally the person that whips out an iPhone to add four plus seven. I like to think it’s because I’m into accuracy, but truthfully I’m awful at maths (a revelation that I’m still coming to terms with). Perhaps my lack of anything remotely mathematical is the reason …
