ON & BEYOND

“The amount of times I’ve actually heard a girl say “I WISH THEY MADE THIS FOR GIRLS” when looking at boys’ clothes goes beyond memory. From that quote, I’ve begun a little Photo Series project with some of the most gorgeous women in my life. Done right, the series should have that inexplicable umph most guys feel when waking up and seeing a girl in his t-shirt and boxers. Dressed in my clothes, they will, one by one be featured on the blog.”

Maura was off to Paris last week so I handed her some money and asked her to surprise me with a souvenir. And I couldn’t have asked for a better return item. Blaise Mautin is a french parfumeur who’s reknowned scents have glazed the aura of the Park Hyatt Vendome in Paris. The spray is a perfect marriage of Paris’ romantic allure and Hiroki‘s immaculate branding, but that’s aside from the luxurious woodland spice emanating from the essential oils which contain this Erlenmeyer flask.

Here are some shots I did of Dana Lee’s FW10 leather duffle for Selectism. Much thanks to Jason Dike for the kind words…

“There’s been a few bumps along the way, but here’s the second installment of our guest blogger series. Picking guest bloggers isn’t easy, but choosing On And Beyond was as big a no-brainer as no-brainers get. Of course when we first chose him, he was still relatively under the radar; since then he’s been shouted out by GQ and started working with Nike. We’re just glad he replied to our emails.

Given On and Beyond’s photography, we thought it made sense to get him to showcase a stand out piece from one of our favourite designers, Dana Lee. We picked the shearling lined leather duffle coat from her autumn/winter 2010 collection, because it deserved a closer look. The rest is up to Vincent.”

I’m pretty mad I wasn’t playing in that match against the PanthersFC, I hate that team, and I’m glad we won. Peep the amazing clip Johnny made for us.

Curator of JJJJound, Justin recently launched latelierj.com, a multifaceted creative agency. JRS Rules’ most recent project involves the design of a wardrobe classic in conjunction with streetwear brand Obey. If anyone has been following their line for the passed…5-6 seasons, they would have expected such a move as we’ve felt a sense of evolving continuity in the minimal branding. Put differently, the brand has simply been designing some of the strongest collections in their market. The 5-panel they’ve created together is the epitome of what they’ve been preaching in their latest seasons. The camp hat features multiple cotton fabric panels with stitched eyelets and an adjustable web belt closure. Moreover, it features a blank leather patch on the front and a specialty “JRS RULES” embroidery on the back. Also to be expected are 3 t-shirt designs.

I’m working closely with NSW on a project (this isn’t it), but I took photos of the new FW10 collection that just arrived at OTH. The actual photo project I’m curating will be featured at the NSW Mavericks event taking place this Thursday at 1021a Ste-Catherine St; official NSW embroidery machines will be in place, customizing Nike’s famous AW77 Hoodies for the swoosh fanatics. It starts at 5pm and ends at 10pm, if you are in town make sure to be there.
