Antlers – how to get a head

You cant open an interiors or lifestyle magazine without seeing antlers being used to decorate the wall of the latest modern apartment or town house.

Here’s a few interesting antler inspired looks and uses to start thinking and inspiration

Great Scott! They actually made them - Nike Mag

Anyone who saw Back to the Future 2 knows and covets these shoes. Well now they’ve been made! Only 1500 pairs and all are being auctioned via e-bay at 350 pairs a day from the 8^th September for the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.

True to the ones in the film, except for the automatic lacing any sneakerhead would kill for a pair in their collection

Well Tinker Hatfield says 2015 for the automatic lacing version, but it has been patented so who knows.

Few days left for anyone with a few thousand quid spare, hover boards and Delorean not included

Check out freshness for more info or the nike auction site 

That wasn't flying! That was... falling with style!

I always thought base jumping involved a certain kind of screw being loose, and this video only confirms the fact. That said its stunning and scary at the same time, watch it!

Rise of the Chap - The streets are getting slightly smarter!

The gentrification of menswear, particularly streetwear has been creeping up on us in the past few seasons. Smartness with a wry smile, a prod at the stuffy lord of the manor tweed jacket and plus fours of the last century. A few observations about key trends and things happening……..

Tweed with everything, from ipod covers to dunks

Rick Genest – WTF?

It’s a look, it’s a bit different, that's for sure, but what happens when everyone’s tired of looking at him?  Fashion is very fickle, so how long does he have, and how much more space is there left for a new tat? Can’t be long until Gaga, Mugler et al find another person to prop them up as cool?  Why couldn’t he just go on X Factor like all the other people cashing in their 15 minutes?

Stumbled across this photostream when looking for some pictures for a mood board. 

Had to take my time and look a little more, the sepia style of all of her work has a distinctive blurred almost gothic feel that flows through them all. 

Stunning work

A few books designers need

Just my Type – Simon Garfield

You will think a lot longer and harder about Gotham, Helvetica or Gill Sans than you ever did in your life before and never use Comic Sans again!

Designers are Wankers – Lee McCormack

Funny title but a good book about how to get into design and the mistakes we have all made and probably will in the future, a good one for graduates!
