Nonnative by Gramicci Capsule Collection

Complete with an elastic waist and branded pockets, the shorts are part of TNP’s 10th anniversary celebration which also includes collaborations with hobo and their retailer, vendor.

Nice Color Combo....

Construction Pack.....

Marc by Marc Jacobs adds a major pop of color to its accessory collection for Fall/Winter 2011 with this neon orange backpack. Appearing to have taken some influence from a construction site, the bag contains black buckle closures with several metallic reflective strips on the body. Featuring one large compartment with multiple smaller pockets and minimal branding, the backpack will be available for purchase soon through Marc by Marc Jacobs stores.

2011 Swims Summer Collection

For those living in rainy climates, Swims has gone about creating a line of footwear that doesn’t forego refinement and aesthetics for functionality. The line of footwear is comprised of high-density nylon treated with 3M Scotch Guard. A further “hydro guard” has been added for added impermeability. Two new styles include a wingtip as well as a moctoe chukka boot.

2011 DQM Summer Lookbook

Downtown Manhattan-based DQM is back at it again with a new lookbook for summer. Shot around local hangouts near the store, the photos presented here display a solid offering of new products from DQM. Perhaps hesitant to deviate from their successful formula of graphic-printed tees, snapback caps and button-downs, the Summer 2011 collection consists of a wide array of designs both with and without the DQM logo.
