Nikita Kovalev   Bang Bang Door Handle

Tired of your old, boring door-knob? One simple way to make things a bit more exciting–if not out-right intimidating–is to install the Bang-Bang Door Handle. Coming in black, gold, silver, and chrome, this one-of-a-kind door knob from Russian product designer Nikita Kovalev works by pulling the trigger, which is definitely easier to maneuver than traditional knobs when you’ve got Cheeto fingers. Modeled off of the Russian Makarov 9mm pistol, this may not be the choice for all families, but if you’re trying to make a statement with your interior design decisions, this is the way to go. Check out more photos of this unique design after the jump.

Bedwin & The Heartbreakers   Harrison Mountain Parka

Bedwin & The Heartbreakers are reverting back to the tried-and-tested, classic fabric for their Harrison Mountain Parka. Since around the 1960′s, the 60/40 cloth–blending 60% cotton and 40% nylon materials–was a common technical fabric in the outdoor industry, when high-performance synthetic materials had not been developed yet. Furthermore, the jacket is cut to a slimmer pattern, which gives it a neo-outdoor style. There is a small pocket allocated on the left sleeve, perfect for storing electronic gadgets. The parka comes in three colorways–white, red, and black–and is available at Bedwin & The Heartbreakers dealers world wide. via: Intention

White Mountaineering   Seam Taping Yarn Dyed Check Mix Western Shirt

Basing their design on traditional Western shirts, White Mountaineering added their twist to the classic silhouette. This new Western is constructed from three different check fabrics, which are evenly distributed on the various panels to make up the shirt. Instead of using ordinary plastic buttons, they have opted to use original snap buttons that are usually seen on their technical outerwear, giving the piece a modern aesthetic. On the inside, all of the seams are taped using branded taping – normally used on their technical outerwear as well – which provides additional durability. This shirt can be found at White Mountaineering stockists around the world or at FIGURE SHIZUOKA in Japan.

UNDERCOVERISM   I4101 1 Jacket

From the outside, this tailored jacket from UNDERCOVERISM does not look too different from most jackets created by the cult brand. However, when the I4101-1 jacket is turned inside out, it becomes apparent that the outer layer and the inner layer are sewn as a one-piece. Jun Takahashi designed many of the pieces in this season’s collection to feature the ready-made layered style. The black jacket comes fitted with a gray cardigan, while the charcoal gray jacket is fitted with a navy cardigan on the inside. Both of the jackets are available at UNDERCOVER stockists around the world, or you can head over to the UNDERCOVER online store on Japanese online mall ZOZOTOWN.

M.I.A.   Bad Girls Music Video | By Romain Gavras

The British singer, M.I.A., is no stranger to controversy; in fact, she recently stole the headlines at the Super Bowl halftime show, which involved a certain finger. Perhaps one of her most talked-about music videos was Born Free, produced by French director Romain Gavras. M.I.A. has teamed up with Gavras again on her latest music video for Bad Girls, which was shot on location in Morocco. Although this video is much more light hearted than the previous, it is still filled with the kind of high energy and grit that Gavras is known for. BMWs and Alfa Romeos perform high-speed stunts, and the fearless M.I.A. even sits comfortably on a BMW driving on two wheels. Watch the visually spectacular music video after the jump in high definition.

Bedwin & The Heartbreakers   Jerry Award Jacket

Every season Bedwin & The Heartbreakers launch the Jerry Award Jacket in different versions, making it a key piece that fans look forward to seeing. For the Spring 2012 season, the basic jacket has been made using a lightweight, cotton jersey fabric. Its silhouette has not changed dramatically– however, this lighter body allows it to be worn much more casually. Two colorways–Gray and Black–were produced, with each item detailed by a BH patch on the left chest. The monotone, knitted ribbing on the collar, cuffs and waist complements the minimalist style of the jackets. via: Intention
