Studio D’Artisan 5 Pocket Camo Shorts
Selectism.com 23 May 2012, 12:09 am CEST
Further camo action on the hill. Studio D’Artisan delivers a pair of five pocket camo shorts. Not much to say that cannot be gathered from the images, expect that they are made in Japan. Ripstop fabric makes them durable and light. Well up there at $215 a pair. Blue & Green has them. Do we see some flying pigs hidden in the pattern?

Selectism.com 22 May 2012, 10:00 pm CEST
Twisted Pine is a brewery with some funk in their trunk … or
tank, as it were. Along with a recently released Carrot IPA, they
bring us this brown ale enriched with the likes of wasabi, ginger,
and horseradish. The flavors all come through, no doubt, and most
impressive, you can pick each one of them out at different points
as the ale moves into your gullet. The spiciness also serves to
undercut the 7.8-percent ABV, giving the beer a very light finish
and the ability to quench summertime thirst.

Selectism.com 22 May 2012, 9:00 pm CEST
How rich the life lived in a house that holds an art gallery and is
itself a work of art. Them is some serious layers, yo. But of
course you must keep your composure in an environment so crisp and
refined as this. New York architect Steven Holl has hidden a
subterranean, nay, subaqueous, gallery beneath a pool of water.
Exciting, we know, but keep it in your pocket as you peruse the
photos of this austere and impressive live-work space located in
Seoul, South Korea.
And just in case you have any doubts about how serious this seriously awesome building is, just know that “The basic geometry … is inspired by a 1967 sketch for a music score by the composer Istvan Anhalt, ‘Symphony of Modules,’ which was discovered in a book by John Cage titled Notations.” (dezeen)

Selectism.com 22 May 2012, 8:30 pm CEST
There was a time, nearly 20 years ago, when Dickies were the
only pants in our arsenal. All we needed was their full workwear
rainbow—khaki, blue, grey, brown and black (for weddings)—and a
narrow but functional wardrobe was complete. Thankfully our
horizons have broadened significantly. Still, these chinos, a
collab with Silas, find us
nurturing a little nugget of nostalgia.
The seat of these things is a little logo-heavy for our tastes, but Silas was formed around the British skateboarding scene in the late ’90s, and skate gear has always leaned toward that sort of branding. Overriding our one complaint: that little leather-trimmed pocket on the leg and the fancy stripes on the waistband are both aces. Pick up a pair online.

Selectism.com 22 May 2012, 8:00 pm CEST
Brady bags
have been around since the late 1800s, when the company was founded
in Birmingham, England. Traditional production methods were applied
to fine canvas, which was combined with English bridle leather and
made to fasten with brass pieces for this exclusive line of bags
for YMC.
Seeing some familiar but classic silhouettes here. We favor the zipper sack because it looks a little like a stolen money bag from the mid 1900s and we are tough as nails [not]. Fine array of colors, too, especially that searing khaki. Too strong a word, perhaps, but it seems to gleam on the computer screen. Speaking of, you can pick these up online for carrying things in the early 2000s.

Selectism.com 22 May 2012, 6:29 pm CEST
Our good friends at Men’s Reverie have us hunting down the Rigards eyewear line. I, for one, have been trolling for a new pair of frames for the summer months. These new looks from Rigards may do the trick for those looking for the absolute unique of looks. The Rigards line is a co-work between two friends -Marc Virard and Ti Kwa – who saw that the market was lacking in styles of frames that they preferred. “Rigards is a mission to rediscover the hidden treasures of horn eyewear, and to share them with like-minded aficionados through small, numbered editions.”
Using a “meticulous” selection of horns, the Rigards line produces superb looks with the help of their trademarked Sanjuro treatment. View the images to get a good sense of where Rigards is heading. Very well done and refreshing for the market. The stocklist is hella-limited unless you are in California, France, or Russia.

Barcelona Home & Away Kit – 2012/13 – Nike
Selectism.com 22 May 2012, 4:00 pm CEST
Nike unveils its Home and Away kit for Barcelona 2012/13 season. The hook this time round are its environmentally friendly credentials, the shirts and shorts made from recycled plastic water bottles using 30% less energy in production. As with the Arsenal kit, moves have been made to create a more user-friendly shirt – stronger and lighter with increased side ventilation in the form of laser cut holes and bonded seams for durability. In terms of looks this one is best seen up close, beyond that Qatar Foundation logo the shirt’s details are more impressive than the whole. However this is definitely an improvement on garish shirts of past, we’re still deciding on that crazed citrus away shirt though – perhaps a move to blind opponents when the Camp Nou advantage is absent.

Selectism.com 22 May 2012, 3:00 pm CEST
Jane McAdam Freud, great grandaughter of Sigmund Freud, talks about her early encounters with art. As a child she drew as a way of connecting with her father. A towering figure who would influence and inspire her work, Lucien Freud was also a shadow she work hard to remove herself from. A talented multi-media artist, making her own way under the name Jane McAdam was essential for both her career and her belief in her own abilities. However her striking resemblance to her father, ‘a God’ as she describes, and the multiple references to him in her own work seem to suggest that those ties still remain strong.

Extravagance in menswear often lies in subtle details, as can be seen in this intriguing marriage between a roll neck and a henley jumper by JOHN VARVATOS U.S.A. for the current season. The 100% cotton garment is equally fascinating when worn unbuttoned.
Wanny Di Filippo's Florence
"Nowness RSS" 22 May 2012, 6:00 am CEST
The founder of leather goods company Il Bisonte and Florence’s most vividly stylish artisan, Wanny Di Filippo muses on the beauty of aging objects and the great character of the historic Tuscan city in this intimate video portrait by Daniel Riera. Esteemed for the beautiful bags he has been handcrafting since 1970, Di Filippo is a regular on street style blogs like The Sartorialist and on Style.com’s fashion week diaries due to his debonair flair for layering color and print waistcoats, ties, scarves and hats—all accessorized with his signature cigar. “I admire Wanny's sense of freedom and creativity,” explains Advanced Style founder Ari Cohen. “He has taught me to be inspired by the world around me and to incorporate those influences into my personal style.” Di Filippo's eclectic mix is influenced by an interest in antiques and flea markets, and reflects a genuinely bohemian approach to life. “Don't be conditioned by trends and the media,” he advises. “Cultivate a personal style and buy things for yourself, not to show others your wealth. In life, what’s really important is health, freedom and friends.” Here the Florentine craftsman shares some of the city's jewels with Cohen.
CafésProcacci is an historic café just a shake of a lamb’s tail from the Palazzo Strozzi––it has a really good deli and is famous for its truffle panini. Other trattorias I like include Coco Lezzone, 13 Gobbi, L’Osteria di Giovanni in Via del Moro, and La Giostra in Borgo Pinti—I've been going for years and feel really at home there. Papero Rosso in Via Montebello is a recent discovery.
Museums and galleries The Palazzo Strozzi shows great exhibitions from ancient to contemporary art; the Bardini Museum and the garden attached offer a welcome respite from the busy city; the Museo Stibbert and the Museo Nazionale del Bargello are equally interesting and a bit more undiscovered; and for modern art I love the Aria gallery in Borgo SS Apostoli, towards the city center.
ShoppingI'm obsessed with antiques markets. The ones I visit are a strong influence on my work. In Tuscany, most markets move from city to city––the first Sunday of the month it's in Arezzo, the second in Florence (in the Basso fortress) and the third in Lucca. And permanently in Florence you have the Ciompi Market.
Shops that I like include Angela Caputi for jewelry, Lorenzo Villoresi for perfumes, Stefano Bemer for shoes, Penko for silver, and Angelo Vadala for portraits.
For food I go outside the city: the farm of San Michele a Torri sells great organic food.
Inspiration and cultureI go fishing in the rivers of the Apennine Mountains between the Tuscany/Emilia-Romagna regions. I like to visit the Art Nouveau greenhouse in the horticulture gardens (Giardino dell'Orticoltura), and the Roman amphitheater in Fiesole has a great cultural calendar of shows. Tonight NOWNESS will host an event celebrating Ari Seth Cohen's new Advanced Style book. Follow live coverage of Cohen and the Advanced Style Ladies at the event on Twitter at #NOWNESSAdvancedStyle.
W-eye by Matteo Ragni Eyeglasses

Matteo Ragni and wood-enthusiast Doriano Mattellone of the MA-wood research laboratory collaborated on the W-eye eyeglasses. They’re hinge-free (hardware free for that matter) and built up from layers of wood coated with aluminum to give them support and curve. Simply beautiful in six fine wood colors: ebony, zebrano, mahogany, cherry, ash and walnut. Each pair is handmade to fit perfectly on your face and smile. (minimalissimo)
