New Undercoverism boots for FW 2010. Do want. I remember my last pair of UC boots came with a warning label telling me not to go hiking in them. I ignored that label and would probably ignore the label again if it came with these boots. JUST SAYING: I WOULD HIKE IN THESE.

Giuliano Fujiwara from when Masataka Matsumura had just taken control of the company. It’s not a groundbreaking collection but I really enjoy the silhouette and colour pallette. I’ve nearly posted this many times but never ended up doing it… I really like it though so here it is finally.

Mel (MAFIA-HUNT) and her mother helped me make this bag. In fact all I did was come up with the idea, they did the rest. Functionally it isn’t perfect because of it’s size and construction but I’ve been using it fairly regularly. I think I’ll try to make another one myself soon. My life, it’s all about heather grey.

Oh, this is a t-shirt that Mel printed and some ‘Screw’ Pin that I bought at Value Village. Speaking of Mel, she invited me to curate some posts on a side-blog of hers, Blaaak, so check it out (sorry Jermaine, I haven’t been linking to sources).

If this were an apartment I would make it my life goal to live here. It almost looks like a Factory Records/Peter Saville design. It’s great that they had a consistent aesthetic going. And good taste too, they’ve got those Alvar Aalto stools.

And the Helmut Lang days begin.
