STARCOW X REEBOK 25TH ANNIVERSARY
New Reebok collaboration with Parisian boutique Starcow. Inspired by the city of Paris and their passion for skateboarding, the outcome is rather simple looking version of the low top sneaker, yet packed with some great features at a closer look.
“We wanted to propose a classic take on the Reebok Workout shoe. With an upper as grey as the Parisian rooftops & the streets that we skate. Orange as an honor to the classic gum soles.
Since we have our heart in skate culture, maybe it wasn’t a coincidence that the shoe ended up looking something like a skate shoe…
For the materials we wanted something more technical; water-resistant suede for the upper, Thinsulate™ lining & an inner sole with cushion. Easy on the looks but performing for the user.”
The Starcow x Reebok Workout Low Plus 25th Anniversary will release along with the other retail collaborations on February 15th, 2012.

Notoriously private Japanese fashion design icon Yohji Yamamoto lets his guard down in an exclusive, intimate short documentary film about life and the creative process, from Tokyo to New York.
A perfect emblem of Yamamoto’s drive for innovation, the Y-3 label -one of eight distinctive lines the designer oversees- has created a new category in fashion since its introduction in 2002. Born out of a desire to merge Yamamoto’s craftsmanship with adidas’ technical prowess, Y-3 has come to be recognized as the future of sportswear, and it is the backdrop against which the film unfolds.
The documentary tracks Yohji Yamamoto and the global team working on the collection, casting, styling, show production, PR and communication for a short period of time during the Summer and early Autumn of 2009. Beginning with the finalization of the collection and styling for the show in Tokyo, followed by his arrival in New York City to oversee the final touches for the presentation of Y-3’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection, the documentary turns an intimate eye on Yamamoto during fittings, model castings, guitar-playing, philosophical musings, and interactions with his staff and the global team bringing his ideas to life.

A.P.C. + CARHARTT
"Carhartt is in many ways the epitomy of the endless golden west, so brilliantly portrayed by Woody Guthrie, and which has been with us for so long. Wandering towards glory, a journey which is to take you away forever, and lonely teardrops will be shed along the path.
Pioneer spirit, gold digger... to tell you the truth, I have never thought much of these myths, and I find them somewhat nauseating. Nevertheless, its uniform has always meant hitting home base for A.P.C.. I have always tried to emulate this viewpoint that, when convenience is really to the point, the outcome is genuinely beautiful.
Therefore, a collaboration between Carhartt and A.P.C. was clearly the thing to do.
Work clothes are pretty good at leading a life of their own: they’ll ramble on, talking to themselves in your wardrobe, and will always be there for you. It is also true that they speak louder once worn, dirtied, soiled, washed and dried in the open air.

Here Snoops answers Exit's ever probing questions.
When asked about his activity on U-stream and Twitter: 'U-Stream is a great way for artists to connect with their fans, and witness un-staged, un-scripted moments. Its sites like that where they decide what it is they like about you personally, aside from the music. '
When asked which London designers he had his eye on: 'All of 'em. '
When asked about his pre-stage rituals: 'I have a big cup of tea and relax. I'm big on herbal tea. '
When asked to give women some advice on men (the piece de resistance): 'Women go wrong because they don't understand that the basis of a relationship is friendship. A woman should act like a lady. If you're chilling with your buds playing video games she should know to stay out of the room until you've finished. Unless she's bringing you drinks.'
Adidas X Exit Exclusive: 'I'm writing my own movie called A Woman's Touch. It's about all the women who have made an impact on my life; my mother, my daughter and my wife. '

In Mr. Johanssen’s own words, ”The Nya Berlin was an archetypical piece of Malmsten design and was created for use in the Swedish consulate in Berlin. It has not been in production since 1949, so it was really inspiring to work with. With this sofa as a reference, I started to look at how we worked architecturally, instead of just treating say the upholstery. I decided as an alternative to objectify its form from a perspective play.

ORIGINALS BY ORIGINALS - ALAYASHA
Now available the latest Originals by Originals collection from adidas by Alyasha Owerka-Moore of Fiberops, inspired by Americana and vintage culture. “Alyasha celebrates the special twist on Americana with an Originals flavor that comes across classic looks. Heavy cotton and genuine materials play a big role together with vintage details and remarkable graphics.
Footwear highlight Jivebomber represents a combination of an Oxford-style silhouette and sneaker outsole. “I hope that my contribution does justice to the Originals by Originals project as a whole. The inspiration came from classic 1940’s and 50’s styles, with what I hope will be recognized as a somewhat contemporary twist. Easy to wear for the discerning cad.” In the end, it is the sum of the various designer contributions that defines Originals by Originals and makes it exceptional.” The collection consists of jackets, tops, as well as some very interesting footwear.

ORIGINALS BY ORIGINALS - KAZUKI
Now available the capsule collection from Kazuki of Fragment Design as part of the Originals by Originals releases for 2009. Completely different from both the Alyasha and the Jeremy Scott collections, the Japanese designer concentrated on adding technical features and materials to the apparel and the footwear, which overall keeps a very subtle and understated look. Exactly what we would have expected from this Jedi Master. Kazuki successfully brings highly technical and modern influences to a stylized, very wearable streetwear collection. The styles incorporate elements such as waterproof zippers, bonding and taping seamlessly into the design.
Footwear highlights call out the KBall Basketball silhouettes that come in exclusive materials. “The styling of my collection suits me and hopefully the audience that my designs appeal to. I would really like to thank all my friends for their support and inspiration but most importantly I would like to thank adidas for having the vision to give me, a freelance designer, a chance to work on a project like this,” Kazuki comments on the new partnership.”

MULBERRY ELIOT HOLDALL
Recently we've seen a growing amount of faux leather holdalls making their way onto the high-end market. It’s not a movement we endorse, as faux leather looks and feels terrible in comparison to the real thing. These Mulberry holdalls use heavy grain leather which beautifully ages with wear, leaving a bag that looks better the more you use it. It’s also the perfect size for airport hand luggage restrictions and thus makes a chic and stylish travel bag.

PAUL SMITH MILLER BROGUE
We're very big fans of Paul Smith at Exit and we love these trademark Miller brogues that have been available in various hues for several seasons now and Smith’s SS09 collection looks to carry on the tradition. Miller is Paul Smith Mainline leather gentlemen’s brogue with sky blue dip dyed washed uppers. They are crafted on a classic Oxford brogue pattern, on a slim fashion last. The soles are trimmed right to the edge of the upper to give a more casual look.
Part of the Dip-Dye range, the uppers of these shoes have been immersed in dyes and tumbled in large wooden drums to dye the upper leather, the lining and the stitching for intense colour. These brogues feature fabric window inserts on the inside lining and painted check insoles. The soles themselves are made with Blake Rapid construction and the bases have been hand painted and hammered.

RALPH LAUREN BLACK SATCHEL BRIEFCASE

It is a very sturdy expandable construction with three interior compartments and a middle compartment that is ideal for laptop storage making it perfect for my daily commute into the Exit office.
