SHOP: Chronicles Of Never Hits Oak

Oak shows how great their taste is by picking up another season of Chronicles Of Never. This collection is looking good, and I’ll be honest I was hesitant to post this because I don’t want all the stuff I want to sell out. Be sure to head over to Oak and pick up some of their new stuff, they have a lot more than just Chronicles Of Never coming in.

Re(Capsule)

I popped into New York for a quick minute over the weekend so that I could attend my second season of (Capsule), which has quickly trumped New York Fashion Week as my favorite event of the year. With some amazing designers like Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair, Denim & Thread, Buckler, Chronicles of Never and April 77, (Capsule) provides buyers and writers the amazing opportunity to see what the hippest designers have planned for the upcoming season. This season featured some of my favorite designers in the industry, and I will be featuring them all week as the pictures roll in from their press offices.

Chronicles of Never Shoes
I was lucky enough to meet and talk to some amazing people and designers from labels like Wrath Arcane, Velour, Naked & Famous, Lova and S2VS. Another season another great success. I can’t wait to see these collections on the shelves in 2009/2010.

Collab-Ho: Chronicles of Never & Graz Mulcahy
Chronicles of Never’s Gareth Moody has joined forces with sunglasses maverick Graz Mulcahy to design a line of stylish shades. And, from the look of things, the debut collection is set to be a hot commodity for the sunny days of summer.
Under the label Graz, the spring/summer ‘08-’09 collection (autumn/winter for us in the Northern Hemisphere) is a perfect mix of Moody’s signature androgynous looks and Mulcahy’s refined eyewear aesthetic. Each unisex style comes in black or tortoise shell, and is handcrafted from acetate to resist any inevitable wear and tear. The lenses are scratch resistant and the frames boast oversized hinges to ensure that the pieces last as long as their timeless appearance. Plus, with three shapes to choose from, these sunglasses are sure to look good on everyone.
