Timbs’ Making a Comeback?

In Jay Z’s latest single, ‘Death of Auto-Tune’, he boasts that he could bring back Versace shades if he wanted to. We’re pretty sure he could, seeing how celebrities seem to dictate what’s cool and what’s out. Take Timberland’s for example. The construction boots have been out of style for years now, but suddenly resurfaced at the BET Awards thanks to trendsetters Kanye West and Lil’ Wayne. Their unexpected reemergence caught our eye and had many tweeting about the speculation of their return.



Do you think Timbs will make a comeback?

Latest Trend for Guys: Hello Kitty?

Apparently the adorable kitty we all know and love has grown claws and is now deemed edgy enough for the male fashion world. Clothing line Undercover has worked on several projects over the years with Hello Kitty, creating both clothes and toys. Their latest project is the Undercover x Hello Kitty 35th Anniversary T-Shirts, which are sold in the Men’s Non-No Web store. Japanese footwear brand UBIQ also feature the classy cat in their signature eL sneakers, which you can get through atmos. And if that’s not proof enough that this kitty has street cred, Kanye posted pictures of Ambush’s trademark “POW” pendant with Hello Kitty on top, which is available exclusively through Marui Web Channel.

How do you feel about this trend?

No Louie for Amber

Sources at fellow fashion blog, The Cut, just confirmed that the Amber Rose pic is NOT a part of the Kanye West Louis Vuitton sneaker ad campaign. No word yet on what the photo is actually for, but we’ll keep you posted! In the meantime, enjoy.

'Ye or Nay?

Kanye’s Louis Vuitton sneaker ad campaign has launched and is kicking up controversy. Some are saying that the fact that video-vixen Amber Rose is pictured nude is destroying LV’s image. Others find the ads artistic and classy. What do you think?

Anyway you put it, blow-up dolls are gross! Male designer/artist from Utrecht, Sander Reijgers, views his creations as ‘works of art’. Tyler weighs in on the matter…

Inflatable love dolls as fashion? It might be because of the gaping plastic mouth on the hood of this jacket, but this guy seems really f****d in the head. I appreciate wearable art and the use of alternate mediums, but this concept simply blows…or maybe it just sucks. Either way, I think I’ll keep my wardrobe orifice free.

First Louis Vuitton, now Nike? Kanye is clearly on a mission to takeover the sneaker world.

Ok, I’ve accepted it, the 80’s has been revived. The influence is literally everywhere, and quite exaggerated. As a child of the 80’s I can honestly say I didn’t like the style then and I don’t like it now. While hints of it can take a shirt and jeans to new heights (i.e. skinny ties, modern denim with 80’s inspired shapes) I think Kanye has gone a bit far here. Look at the shoe. Go on, look at it! You know what I’d describe that color as? Ghostbusters Green. That’s the footwear Egon would have strapped on to compliment his brown jumpsuit before getting slimed by the fame happy green ghost. The verdict? No thank you Kanye, these kick’s are busted.
