FIRST LOOK: Ksubi 2010 Eyewear Collection

Kirby Marzec, Managing Editor November 4 at 5:44 | Comments

We’re looking at less that two months until the ball drops and it’s officially 2010, and with the new year comes a plethora of new fashion goodies to be had. Ksubi recently released images of their 2010 eyewear collection, and I think you’ll agree that it is definitely a bright Ksubi future ahead of us. The collection airs on the hard, bold and statement making side, so you’ll want to get your hands/eyes on a pair if you’re looking for some conversation shades. The ladies can look forward to some Chanel-esque, tinted circular sunglasses and stain-glass frames while guys can get ready for some classic tortoise shell glasses and some bold or wired aviators.

THE TEN: Best Denim Brands

Hillary Frazier, Style Editor July 22 at 5:18 | Comments

Here’s our running list of denim brands that we love, based on quality, fit, wash variety, and overall fashion-ness:

1. Naked and Famous- Rare and unique fabrics from Japan, high quality and satire play on our celebrity obsessed culture. Win.

2. April 77- Known for their attitude and underground influence, not wallet-breaking price. Made in France.

3. Cheap Monday- Tons of crazy prints and colored washes. Made in Sweden.

4. Replay-Great skinny and ‘boyfriend’ style, in a bunch of interesting washes. Made in Italy.

5. Acne- A ton of variety in mens’ fits, and repeat winner of ‘Designer of the Year’ by Swedish Elle. Made in Sweden.

6. K(T)subi- Formerly Tsubi, currently Ksubi, this brand invented themselves based on fit, and has continued to outfit surfers in super, super jeans ever since. Made in Australia.

7. Nudie- Made from the best Italian, Turkish, American, and Japanese qualities using the best techniques. Made in Italy, with the only con being they don’t have a women’s line (yet?).

8. Diesel- I know people that swear by Diesel, mostly skinny guys who can never find sizes small enough for their 26 inch waists and still long enough for their 6′0 tall frames. Diesel has always been known for their high-quality and long lasting denim. I may be impartial because I love everything Diesel makes, not just their jeans. Made in Italy.

9. Levis- After coming out with the 510 and 511, Levis seemed to have redeemed themselves as every hipster and musician’s best friend. Made in the US!

10. G Star- ‘Raw’ denim. Prides themselves in being about nothing more than the product itself, keeping it fashionable and well-fit. Made in the Netherlands.

Think we missed any? Do you have one ‘go-to’ brand for jeans?

Ksubi Says “Spray On” For Fall

Corey Moran, Mens Editor July 15 at 5:06 | Comments

Betty Blue

Shown in Betty Blue above, the new Spray On jeans from Ksubi look constrictingly tight, but their stretch denim don’t allow for any discomfort. The new denim will be featured in the Ksubi Soho boutique, and with each pair individually dyed you’re promised a truly one of a kind look. Don’t worry about having to do that weird jumping up and down routine to get your feet through the ankle holes either, they unzip haha. Be sure to keep your eyes out for these Ksubi’s, because they won’t be around too long.

Ksubi Familiar Strangers Womanswear: S/S 2009 fashion Cut-offs. Stirrups. Shreds. Bell bottoms. High waisted. Acid wash. Checkers. Lace. Skinny leg. Hip huggers. The Ksubi S/S 2009 collection is undoubtedly a blast from the past, dictating that a youthful, carefree spring is upon us. The trendy washes, unique treatments and high quality denim are just some of the traits Ksubi is known for and Spring 2009 is simply a reiteration of what an established denim company Ksubi has become.

Ksubi: Spring 2009 Collection fashion

Today has been a great day of blogging for me so far. I have been lucky enough to get to write about some of my favorite designers, and Ksubi is just another to add to the list. The latest Spring 2009 Collection is getting ready to hit stores, and I am very excited as usual. Correct me if I’m wrong but it has a bit of that Matthew Williamson vibe to it? Love the collection, hoping that I can get some cash in my pocket to buy a couple pieces.

SSENSE Brings Herchovitch, Margiela, and Rick Owens to Haute Hungry Canadians

SSENSE Brings Herchovitch, Margiela, and Rick Owens to Haute Hungry Canadians fashion

This spring, SSENSE is introducing designers Alexandre Herchcovitch, Maison Martin Margiela, Rick Owens Drkshdw, Twenty8Twelve, Milly, Current/Elliot and Kris Van Assche to their boutique, which already includes labels like Acne, Ksubi, Robert Rodriguez, Clu and Black Halo. This, along with the re-launch of their flagship boutique, puts SSENSE in high demand.

Opening in April 2009, on the corner of famous St. Paul street in Montreal’s historic Old Port, the two-story boutique boasts over 80ft of window display space showcasing fashion’s most exclusive design labels. The store’s interior, dominated by black brushed metal and glass, is a modern update to the boutique’s antiquated facade. On the main floor, luxury designers Alexander Herchcovitch, Maison Martin Margiela and Rick Owens will be paired with artistic, avant-garde brands. A steel and marble staircase leads underground to the second floor, where labels like OAK, Current/Elliot and Acne can be found.

This addition to the already well-styled website, ssense.com, will add a bit of punch to its merchandising mix. A boutique that carries Herchcovitch, Margiela and Owens in the same space almost makes me wish I was Canadian, almost.

Collab-Ho: Cobrasnake and Ksubi

Rebecca Alexander, Editor November 25 at 11:47 | Comments

Cobrasnake and Ksubi are teaming up once again, this time for an exhibition of Mark Hunter’s “social photography” in Ksubi’s Australian stores.

The exhibit includes 200 signed photos lovingly curated from Mark’s hard drive, all of “young girls” once featured on Cobrasnake, shot in London, Paris, New York, Tokyo, LA and Sydney.

If you want to catch the exhibit, titled “Too Young,” stop by the Bondi Beach Ksubi store in Sydney at 6pm, or at the Armadale store in Melbourne on the 28th.

Mark himself will be on hand, signing limited-edition tees and prints available for purchase.

Interviews Of Fashion: Gareth Moody

Corey Moran, Mens Editor November 5 at 11:50 | Comments

The folks over at Happy People Don’t Complain recently got a chance to sit down with Gareth Moody. The former Ksubi designer started Chronicles of Never back 2007, and the Australian brand has been taking off ever since. I love the company so I was obviously excited to read the interview. Here’s a little snipet of the conversation.

HPDC: Tell us something about your background and your role at CON?
GARETH MOODY: I was born in Sydney Australia, I also happen to currently live in my place of birth. Actually have not studied beyond my years at school, I decided to tackle things in a trial and error type arrangement, to date it seems to be working. My role atCHRØNICLESØFNEVER, well I’m the founder, director and designer, so I suppose I’m multi-tasking at present.

HPDC: How do you create your designs?
GARETH MOODY: I’m more of a hands on character, I’m also a little old fashioned, I illustrate everything by hand, pencil to paper. I prefer this method of design.

Be sure to check out Happy People Don’t Complain for the rest of the interview.

Ksubi S/S 2009

Kirby Marzec, Managing Editor November 4 at 5:02 | Comments

The Ksubi Spring/ Summer 2009 lookbook has got me feeling a bit “torn”, like Natalie Imbruglia. This collection screams “hipster” (which definitely isn’t a good thing…) with it’s bold splashes and blocks of color as well as the screened tees and metallic leggings. The collection may not be my cup of tea overall, but there are some looks I really do like. For instance, I’m loving the floaty, sheer top paired with the pocket bearing denim shorts. The random fabric hooded frock on the other hand, well, I wouldn’t even let my dog sleep on that thing.

Thanks NYLON!

First Look: Jeremy Loves Ksubi SS09 Collection

Corey Moran, Mens Editor October 6 at 2:00 | Comments

Jeremy Scott debuted his Jeremy Loves Ksubi line in Paris last week, and the prints are nothing short of bold. For those of you readers new to the Jeremy Loves Ksubi collection, more or less all it is, is that Jeremy Scott takes Ksubi designs and then prints his own pattern and such onto them. I think it’s a cool collaboration, and a simple way to bring more products from both designers. What do you think indies, should more designers do easy, cool collaborations? Or are collaborations done?

Thanks to Selectism and Any One Girl for the images.

Jean Shorts: Denim Disaster or Blessed In Blue?

Corey Moran, Mens Editor September 30 at 8:00 | Comments

Sorry JT we don't do trailer park chic here, Oh and nice tribal tattoo

Justin was recently snapped by the paparazzi in Italy with his soon to be wife (possibly?) Jessica Biel. I doubt he knocked the socks off any of the fashion thirty Italians with his Tennessee Tuxedo shorts. Shouldn’t the self proclaimed “William Rast” know that in a world of cropped pants and knee flashing, that his shorts are too long. The fashion world is built around killing bad trends, so why couldn’t JT get this right? Well lucky for you indies I am here to make a couple suggestions on rocking denim shorts, so next time you go to Italy for a quick vaca (yeah right) you’ll “bring the sexy back” rather than scare it away.

Try these Fremont shorts from Oak. They fit a bit slimmer and flash a some knee. The more knee the less ghetto!

These cool double waisted dark denim shorts from Ksubi allow a comfortable slouching look without the shorts being too long. They are damn stylish too.

And just because Fall is closing in doesn’t mean shorts are dead. Throw some leggings on, and you are good for another couple months. Sorry Justin but those Wrangler specials with that fake hole in the front just aren’t doing it for me.

Thanks to Celebslam and Oak for the images.

Ksubi Get’s Googled

Ksubi Gets Googled fashion

Ksubi’s newly launched site is a an evil clone of Google.com. The sly little devils used the most popular site on the web as a model for their creation. Of course, this is most likely illegal so the Ksubi brand is gonna be enjoying a nice little call from the Google boys any day now.

They will then shit themselves when the Google monster decides to erase all traces of Ksubi from the internet. Ya, don’t mess with Google.

Cory Kennedy for Ksubi

Daniel Saynt, Editor-In-Chief February 10 at 4:29 | Comments

Through some odd twist of fate Cory Kennedy and I spent a ton of time together during fashion week (also see. “Hey look it’s Cory Kennedy, again. Should I say hi, again?”). Because of this I feel the need to tout her greatness (a.k.a chick got money and page views and I can use some dotcom love. Link to FashionIndie.com Cory). So, be sure to check out this really cool shirt she’s hawking for KSUBI. It’s limited to only 250 pieces, it only comes in size medium mens and it’s for sale on TheCobraSnake.com.
