PAUL SMITH MILLER BROGUE

Posted on 2009-02-02

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

Posted on 2009-02-02

I love this new look from Ralph Lauren for the gentleman who prefers the neutral shades of leather over the classic brown and tans. A refined gentlemen’s briefcase, crafted for durability and style in luxurious calfskin with gleaming silver accoutrements.
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.

NOWHERE AT DOVER STREET MARKET

Posted on 2009-01-26

15 years ago friends and collaborators Nigo (A Bathing Ape) and Jun Takahashi (Undercover) opened a tiny shop in Harajuku Tokyo called NOWHERE. It was Undercover’s first ever dedicated retail space. The space also had Nigo’s picks of US vintage wear. During that first year Nigo also launched A Bathing Ape in NOWHERE.
For Spring 2009 Nowhere have created a shop-in-shop at Dover Street Market. The London store, operated by Comme des Garcons, recreated the original store front of the Nowhere store.
NOWHERE is now open for a limited period of time in the Basement of DSM selling A Bathing Ape products and exclusive products made by Nigo and Jun together under the NOWHERE name.

CHANEL SNOWBOARD

Posted on 2009-01-26

The unstoppable Chanel drops into the world of snow, releasing a snowboard as part of this years winter sport collection. The Chanel Snowboard has a high gloss piano black lacquer resin finish with a discrete Chanel monogram by the front binding. The snowboard is made of fiberglass and wood which gives it a degree of flexibility whilst maintaining rigidity at the same time. Exit’s Art Director recently rocked this look out in Whistler over Christmas and performed his first double flip 1080 degree back hop bunny jump up with a degree of fashion assurance that only Chanel could have given him.
