Original Fake, presents their new Fall/Winter 2011 Collection. No doubt about it, I’ve rarely seen an artist brand look so fresh, the label continues to diddy bop their way in the fashion industry with a large range of quality product. Tommy Hilfiger fresh with that Supreme swag.
The new collection sports some great outerwear pieces, including peacoats, duffle coats and fur hooded down jackets. As usual it is all about the details, the graphic elements by artist Kaws are flawless. Special mention for the chinos.

LookBook: Beautiful Ful A/W11
The L.A based, Beautiful Ful looks to bring classic looks of menswear in line with the Californian spirtit. Not quite american not quite european. While some pieces, specialy, the suits and the accessories seem pretty rad, the hoody/coat featuring are a fail. No one over the age of 5 should attempt a hoody/coat one piece combo.
Although the collection has some interesting pieces, I don’t think a motorcycle ridding Pete Doherty is an appealing image. Never the less, the collection is yours to enjoy. Hit the flip.

Documentary: ODB – Dirty Thoughts
ODB was fuckin’ insane. From his tinfoil grills to taking a TV crew in a limousine to pick up social security check ODB’s life was intriguing, insane, and always original as he constantly kept his ear to the streets. Probably the last real rock star. Lived like one. Died like one. RIP ODB.
