 Spring/Summer 2013 Collection

Michael Bastian, in his usual form, brings back past fashion trends.. this time from the 90's.  The models were rocking Tivas, Berkenstocks, ethnic looking cross body bags and a sweet drug sweater.  Some other great on trend pieces were the dip dyed ombre shorts, pants and suit and of course, his classic cargos!

LEATHER LUST

In my most recent travels to Stockholm, Sweden I got to know my lifestyle icon at the moment, the extremely talented, inspiring designer behind Gant Rugger, Christopher Bastin.  As we were sipping champaign and Coronas sea side at the J Hotel Restaurant, I was star struck by Chris's camera, with all of its leather decor!

I don't know what it is, but if it's leather and masculine I'm in love.  I know.. it sounds like some weird bondage fetish.  I promise you it is not.  Men's leather fashion accessories only!  That is all.

The camera case and strap are by two different companies.  The case was made by a Japanese man and can be purchased at aki-asahi.com.   The best part, which is the personalized leather strap, is by a company called Draught.  Really cool shit. Check it out!
