BEDWIN WINTER '09


There are a few things I like, and something I hate about the Bedwin Winter '09line. Yeah, It's got a lot going for it, but the details for details sake get a bit heavy on the shoulder embroidery and the sleeve screens. That being said, I do like that the collection is a mash-up of newsie-style-paper-slinger wear and circa '83 dogtown, Alva digs. A match made only in Japanese heaven. A heaven that seems fit for me. RaindogsGray? Of course. I might need to close one eye and hold a thumb or two up to block out a few details, but at a general glance, the overall aesthetic is something I can get into


At least an 'A' for effort for
Bedwin giving the old college try on the "updated" looks. A red pea coat might not be the best answer, but neither is an exact replica of a WWII Navy pea coat we've all seen. It doesn't have to be exactly like the original to be classic. Oh, and the thing about the line I hate? Sorry Bedwin, but the pants tucked into theUGGs look went out with Pamela Anderson and the velour tracksuit. (offensive footwear photos omitted from post. see Bedwin site.) LINK

G SHOCK YA LYFE |


In the midst of a large scale global tour, the following will release out of the CASIO G-SHOCK camp for 2009 July. A number of releases revolve around their iconic offerings, the square-shaped DW-5600 and round-dial DW-6900. Another addition includes the more contemporary stylings of the G-8100. All in all, it’s nice to see some more colorful releases as these have traditionally been restricted to collaboration models. Look fro these at select CASIO G-SHOCK retailers in July. | LINK

In association with the upcoming CASIO G-SHOCK “SHOCK THE WORLD” festivities, Hong Kong brand SUBCREW and their well-known hat offerings have teamed up to provide the official cap of choice for the campaign. The hats are based on past G-SHOCK colorways done by SUBCREW and CASIO as part of the Unity collection. Over the next little while, the sale of CASIO G-SHOCK watches at City Chain retailers across Hong Kong will provide buyers with a ticket for a draw in hopes of winning a snapback. The black colorway will not be for sale and limited as a friends & family release. This Friday will also mark the opening party for the Hong Kong leg of the SHOCK THE WORLD tour as things being at 9:00 pm with a strict VIP-only opening at CLIQ, general admission will begin at 11:00 pm with space on hand.
