Good Idea

Encapsulated

We don’t do much show-going at Kempt, but we couldn’t resist a post or two on the upcoming Capsule show. The semi-annual hootenanny is one of the best places to spot up-and-comers, and one of our favorite stops every year. This year’s crop includes Endovanera, Public School, Clae and Loden Dager, along with a handful of others we don’t even know about yet.

The show is happening 10-7pm this Monday and Tuesday in Angel Oresanz with over 60 labels attached. If you’re in the neighborhood, you just might see us there.

If not, we’re sure you’ll hear about it.

All You Need is Love

We finally got pictures of the Acne and Lanvin collaboration—inexplicably titled “Love”—and so far we’re pretty impressed. Granted, these are the only three men’s looks they saw fit to bless us with, but it’s still got us excited to wear dark blue again.

Also, straw hats may be poised for a comeback.
