Pharrell Williams + Louis Vuitton = too much sausage!

Pharrell Williams + Louis Vuitton = too much sausage!Word on the fashion grapevine is Pharrell Williams has lost the Louis Vuitton campaign after an “incident” at the Milan Men’s Fashion Week?

The singer was geared-up to be the face of Vuitton’s autumn advertising campaign. However this is now in question because Pharrell’s bouncers reputedly rough-up a gang of gay fashionistas (including David Furnish and Burberry designer Christopher Bailey), telling them there was “too much sausage” in the room.

It looks like this apparant homophobic incident will cost Pharrel big time!

Canterbury of New Zealand Apparel + Rugby Top

Canterbury of New Zealand Apparel + Rugby TopNo other apparel company in the world has the same singular focus on rugby as Canterbury of New Zealand.  Canterbury of New Zealand built its foundations in club rugby, the grass roots of the game, and while it outfits high profile international sides such as Australia, Scotland, Ireland, Fiji and Japan it has never lost sight of its beginnings.

It was a chance request by a friend of one of the company’s founders that led the company into manufacturing rugby jerseys. The avid rugby player wanted to see if the company could produce a playing jersey that would not only be tough enough to withstand the rigours of the game, but would also be comfortable and stylish.

In fact, Canterbury of New Zealand made its jerseys so well that word soon leaked out to other rugby playing nations. Canterbury of New Zealand jerseys found their way all over the world including North America where they became just as desirable off the field as on.

Odyn Jeans + Scandinavian Denim = Nordic mythology

Odyn Jeans + Scandinavian Denim = Nordic mythologyThe inevitable consequence of the Scandinavian denim invasion is that some bright spark would synergise, some might suggest exploit, Nordic Mythology. So how’s this for starters, a denim brand called Odyn! The designer is Emmy Lauridsen, a Danish designer who’s modeled the line after Nordic mythological characters, “Odyn” being the god of wisdom and poetry. Each jean style name comes from a character from Nordic mythology which is further described on the silk printed hand tags.
