FEATURE | BLK DNM - A Johan Lindeberg Project

Photo: William Yan

Last night I was at the BLK DNM store on 237 Lafayette Street for a private denim fitting and showcasing of their Spring/Summer 2012 Collection. I got to meet and shoot Johan Lindeberg along with lovely models wearing all things BLK DNM.

I don't own a pair of BLK DNM but I do know that I wanted something tapered and slim. I was eyeing the pair Sean Hotchkiss of GQ had aside and decided to try on a pair myself. It was Jeans 5 (slim) , a straight leg, slim fit with a regular rise in the GRND BLUE colorway. The wash was really nice and when I tried them on, I knew it was the one, the fit was perfect, I didn't even bother trying the other two fits - Jeans 9 (straight) and Jeans 15 (low rise). The only thing I regret was not trying on a black pair, what the hell was I thinking or not thinking actually, I'm at a BLK DNM fitting!! Anyways, I'm sure I'll be back there.

She's wearing all things BLK DNM minus the shoes of course.

I love the high-waisted BLK DNM on her.

*Side Note: I normally don't take photos of myself, not really my thing but since BLK DNM was nice enough to hook me up with a pair, you guys got lucky. Below are fitting room photos of me in the BLK DNM JEANS 5 GRND BLUE. Thanks again BLK DNM. ;)

RETAIL | Hickoree's Hard Goods - Brooklyn

Photo: William Yan

Talk about a one stop shop, Hickoree's is the spot, the second floor retail shop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn stocks everything you can find on their online counterpart. The shop is pretty sweet in an unorganized organized kinda way, it's like a candy shop for ACL fanboys. You'll be there for awhile browsing at the randomness that somehow makes sense all together from workwear clothes to sling shots and Slinky's to a bunch of Made in the USA products, this shop is well curated.

This coat, gorgeous. :O

Love The Hill-Side accessories, the scarves, ties, and handkerchiefs are on point.

So many flavors...

These belts, oh-my!

You can never have enough Solmate socks in your closet, mismatch friendly!

Sweet Thorogood and Wolverine boots in stock.

8.15 August Fifteenth - Quilted New York Jacket

There's also a nice selection of bags, the mason bags are pretty sweet.

RETAIL | Nicola Formichetti Pop-Up Shop - Nicola's

Nicola Formichetti's pop-up shop is pretty bad-ass, the interior design in which he created in partner with GAGE/Clemenceau Artchitects blew my mind, it was pretty trippy. It's kind of sad that it's going to disappear after tomorrow (9/21/2011) but if you can make it there, it's worth checking out, you might also find some cool stuff for the holidays or weird stuff, depending on how "fashion-forward" you are. Haha. Anyways there's a bunch of all-panda-everything products from iPhone and iPad cases to tees and other accessories. Go before it's gone, Nicola will be there. Peace out.

RETAIL | SSENSE Boutique Celebration in Montréal, Canada

I was at SSENSE in Old Montréal the other day to celebrate the online luxury retailer's first flagship boutique. The store is gorgeous and full of gems for men and women like its online counterpart. The coolest thing about the boutique besides all your designer fixes like Alexander McQueen, Givenchy, 3.1 Philip Lim, Balmain, Alexander Wang, Yves Saint Laurent and others - is the special service where you can have them order products directly from their online shop for you to try on physically without the obligation to purchase. Awesomeness.

The event was the place to be that night, below are photos of the people who were there, some product shots and interesting things I spotted that night.
