From September 19th to October 12th at Andreas Murkudis’ Berlin boutique you can see an of Margiela’s infamous Tabi boots. Rich with visuals and examples, the exhibit highlights different styles of this iconic and polarizing shoe, starting from the first Margiela collection presented in 1988.
Aoi Kotsuhiroi at Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris
Aoi Kotsuhiroi, the enigmatic Japanese-born object designer we profiled in the second volume of our print magazine is presenting hew latest creations in an installation called “I Vomited the Wearing Out of Nameless Things” at the new exhibit on contemporary French jewelry at Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. This should be all the more interesting because her dark and quiet visual poetry will be juxtaposed against the pomp-and-circumstance of the museum’s permanent collection. The exhibit opens tomorrow.

A few month ago we reported on the launch of Guidi & Rosellini, the new capsule collection by GUIDI, based on the heritage of its tannery and old Italian workwear. Here is an exclusive preview of their first collection we shot in Paris.

Dear readers,
This season Boris Bidjan Saberi produced a capsule collection for one of our favorite stores, Atelier New York.

Each piece is numbered.

A Few Words With: John Skelton of LN-CC
In only a couple of years of its existence, LN-CC, the London multiple-brand boutique has gone from an open secret of the fashion cognoscenti to a major player whose business model is quickly being imitated by other shops. John Skelton, the store’s co-founder and creative director, has played a major role in its meteoric rise. I recently caught up with him in London to talk shop…
Abasi Rosborough
One afternoon a few months ago I visited my good friend Costas at his fabric and garment dyeing studio in Manhattan. There I met two young gentlemen who were browsing a copy of StyleZeitgeist magazine.
They introduced themselves as Abdul Abasi and Greg Rosborough. They were in the process of developing their second collection under the name Abasi Rosborough, and Colibri was dyeing some Irish linen for them. Abdul and Greg had one blazer with them from their first, Fall/Winter 2013, collection with them (the collection was exclusively picked up by Isetan in Tokyo).
