The next stop on Reebok‘s around-the-world tour celebrating the 25th Anniversary of their Workout sneaker takes us to South Korea where the designers over at Kasina created a high-end take on this versatile classic. By constructing the upper with a mix of brown toned tweed and touches of leather on the heel, toe, and tongue, Kasina use of a fabric with its own long history and renewed popularity to express their respect of the Workout silouhette easily makes this pair stand out among the 14 other designs in this pack. The white Reebok logo on the profile and outsole also add a nice touch of balance to this vintage design. You can pick up Kasina’s take on the Workout along with the rest of the collection when they begin to hit retailers around the world on February 15th.  via: Highsnobiety

In highlighting London’s colorful past and vibrant culture, vodka distillery ABSOLUT enlisted Jamie Hewlett (of Gorillaz and Tank Girl fame) to condense the city’s vibe onto a limited edition art bottle. Like Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Damien Hirst, Jean-Michael Basquiat, Louise Bourgeois, and others before him, Hewlett touched-up the bottle with his own signature depiction of London’s past d00 years, first as the backdrop of Dickensian novels, the Dandyism and Savile Row styling at the turn of 1900s, to subsequent raise of hippie, Ska, Punk and 80′s chic in the last century. Celebrating the city’s wealth of tradition and heritage, the ABSOLUT LONDON Edition Art Bottle by Jamie Hewlett will be available through department stores Harvey Nichols and Selfridges on March 1st. In conjunction to the launch, ABSOLUT will be giving away 50 bottles through its Instagram starting tomorrow, February 9th. For more details on its availability and a chance to win one, simply visit ABSOLUT UK Facebook page for more information.

It might be a re-telling of a well-worn franchise though upcoming summer blockbuster The Amazing Spider-Man will a “first” for the many riding on its success (or failure).

While both veterans of the film industry, The Amazing Spider-Man will still be the first sci-fi action flick for Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone.

This coming New York Fashion Week, the townies from “South Park” will take the Big Apple by storm thanks to designer Marc Jacobs and brand president Robert Duffy. Featuring Eric Cartman, Randy Marsh and Butters Stotch from the gut-busting animated series “South Park”, each caricature bared it all with the exception of carefully placed message “Protect Your Largest Organ” on a trio of cotton tees. The strip tease is actually to raise awareness on skin cancer (skin is actually the largest organ on your body) and the proceeds from t-shirt sales go to The Interdisciplinary Melanoma Cooperative Group at New York University. All three are now available for US$ 35 each at Marc Jacobs retail locations and online store.

In addition to becoming the next creative director for American heritage label Filson, designer Richard Chai will also take a collaborative role in creating a capsule collection with footwear maker Palladium.

Each appointed with premium fabrics, such as felted wool and corduroy, thus inline with Chai’s “urban nomad” design theme for his Fall/Winter 2012 Collection.

BEAMS approach to fashion is multifaceted and is regularly “outside of the box.” Over the years, the BEAMS family has launched some unique products, most recently with the DRUG STORE Collection, but this time the giant Japanese brand hits us with something more familiar as a result of their collaboration with New Era: the 59FIFTY Solid Pack. BEAMS took this classic cap worn both on the diamond and in the streets and expanded its color range to include some fresh tints that can be worn as-is or customized with your own personal touches. You can pick up this limited edition pack directly from the ZOZOTOWN online store for delivery in late March.

The number of high-profile Dunk releases has been pretty low over the past couple of months, with sneakerheads seeming to gravitate more and more towards Nike‘s latest range of signature sneakers to get their fix. If anything can reverse that trend though it’s this trio of Nike Dunk High Premium models set to release in conjunction with the 2012 NBA All-Star game. Again coming with the NASA look, the set of Dunks is modeled after the aesthetics of astronaut gear, with waxed canvas uppers and a stenciled font with a bold military feel. Then of course there’s the painstaking attention to detail, manifested in the stellar print on the lining, the removable patches and Swooshes, and the clean icy outsole. Follow us after the jump to get a look at all three pairs, which will be available on Thursday, February 28th from NikeStore online as well as a select set of premium Nike Basketball accounts.

Release Date: February 23rd, 2012 (Thursday)

Mademoiselle Yulia‘s 2011 electro-pop anthem “Gimme Gimme” is not only a catchy musical observation on consumerism. It is also a declaration of modern female empowerment, through rapid succession of wants in life where just decades ago would not be conceivable, at least for a girl. While Mademoiselle Yulia will not acquire the majority of desirable listed on her very stylize wishlist (at least for now), the talented Japanese entertainer and trend setter will most likely have an endless supply of her favorite jaunty outfits and shoes, courtesy of her good friend, the indomitable fashion designer Jeremy Scott. In the most recently photoshoot session for adidas Originals by Jeremy Scott, Mademoiselle Yulia took part in creating her own signature look as well as a brief glimpse into Spring/Summer 2012 Collection. In the meantime, some of the items are now available at select adidas Originals retail locations around the globe.
