ADIDAS ORIGINALS BY WHITE MOUNTAINEERING SS16

Posted on 2016-02-15

The force behind the Japanese menswear brand ­– White Mountaineering, a Tokyo-based, outdoors-inspired line. Since 2006 the brand has created utiltarian, heritage-inspired collections with a focus on the fabrics, construction and technical features.

For SS16 adidas Originals and White Mountaineering have collaborated on their first full collection. adidas Originals by White mountaineering weaves Aizawa’s progressive functional perspective into the enduring heritage of the brand with the three-stripes, elevating classic sportswear pieces through futuristic cuts and high-end technical fabrics such as GORE-TEX and cotton-nylon blends.

Essential sportswear silhouettes from t-shirts and sweat pants to windbreakers and developed outerwear receive panel constructions and muted tonal treatments that unite the range under White Mountaineering’s distinctly stylised approach to utility and fashion.

Accompanying footwear brings the same approach to a range of classic and contemporary three-stripes silhouettes, presented in the brand’s signature cold-weather colour schemes and layered with premium touches. adidas Originals icons are brought under Aizawa’s direction or transformed entirely into brand new designs, underlining a comprehensive range that embodies the collaborative spirit – speaking the language of two labels through a singular, standout collection.

adidas Originals by White Mountaineering SS16 1st drop will launch at selected retailers and online 26th February 2016, the 2nd drop on the 9th April 2016.

HITCHCOCK/TRUFFAUT

Posted on 2016-02-15

In 1962 Hitchcock and Truffaut locked themselves away in Hollywood for a week to excavate the secrets behind the mise-en-scène in cinema. Based on the original recordings of this meeting—used to produce the mythical book Hitchcock/Truffaut—this film illustrates the greatest cinema lesson of all time and plummets us into the world of the creator of Psycho, The Birds, and Vertigo. Hitchcock’s incredibly modern art is elucidated and explained by today’s leading filmmakers: Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Arnaud Desplechin, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Wes Anderson, James Gray, Olivier Assayas, Richard Linklater, Peter Bogdanovich and Paul Schrader.

SECRET IN THEIR EYES

Posted on 2016-02-15

A tight-knit team of rising FBI investigators – Ray (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and Jess (Julia Roberts), along with their District Attorney supervisor Claire (Nicole Kidman) – is suddenly torn apart when they discover that Jess’s teenage daughter has been brutally and inexplicably murdered.

Now, thirteen years later, after obsessively searching every day for the elusive killer, Ray finally uncovers a new lead that he’s certain can permanently resolve the case, nail the vicious murderer, and bring long-desired closure to his team. No one is prepared, however, for the shocking, unspeakable secret that will reveal the enduring, destructive effects of personal vengeance on the human soul.

Interweaving past and present, this deeply layered mystery explores the murky boundaries between justice and revenge, and asks the question: how far would you go to right an unfathomable wrong?

Y-3 SPRING/SUMMER 2016

Posted on 2016-02-15

The collection originated in a series of sketches that Yamamoto imagined with rapid-fire creativity. The drawings yield the clothing itself, but also serve as decoration when printed as artwork across a range of apparel from tanks to T-shirts. Further inspired, Yamamoto created four self-portraits of himself in motion that are also used as graphic treatment. For the designer, the topic of movement is most clearly encapsulated in a series of stunning ponchos in three distinct silhouettes, two of which are emblazoned with his sketches.

The poncho is undoubtedly the star of the collection, arriving in 3 distinct styles. The first in a classic black, ultra- light, rain-proof nylon with custom white Yamamoto artwork, the second in a light air mesh fabric featuring a voluminous silhouette that can be converted and customized; and the third a bonded, two-layer poncho.
