The recently shown Fall preview in New York Fashion Week from Phillip Lim really put things in perspective. Lim’s perception on today’s young man is embellished shirts, monotone colors and essential pieces. By adding extra panels and finished details on both jackets and pants pockets., Lim was able to keep his short boxed fit and induce his avant garde into casual. Extended cardigans, simple contrast lapels, tapered sweats and belt less peacoats make every piece openly compatible with anything in the collection.

Although visually this season is a little of the beaten path for Lim his focus lead to an amazing season. The lookbook here was styled with close attention to silhouette helping to bring life to Lim’s vision. You can view the whole season here.

Thanks Fashionisto.

Steve Powers (THE NEW ORDER issue 1) is a big favourite here on SLAMXHYPE and it is instalments of work such as this that make Steve stand out. Having teamed up with The City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program and Studio Gangsta the NYC based artist is preparing “A Love Letter Written By Steve Powers.” A series of works which will see a number of rooftops of West Philadelphia feature Steve Powers’ work come September.

We just mentioned Mark Gonzales upcoming show at Hope Gallery(see details here), but the Skater/Artist/Icon has also been busy at work, developing new products with adidas for his ongoing skate line. Mark, featured in Issue 01 of The New Order, has a particular style, one which transpires into an ability to create some of the best shoes for adidas’ skateboarding line, including this new Ciero Mid. Available now at colette.

As you know, WK Interact’s latest exhibition is on show at New York’s Jonathan Levine Gallery. During this busy season, not only is it hard for those outside of NYC to get to the show, but maybe even a miss for those living in NYC who might be travelling. The Gallery has made it possible to get your hands on a selection of books, and exclusive prints online though. Check them out here, and if you are in New York the show runs through to the 27th July.

One of the reasons we decided to move into the print world and create The New Order, is the fact that no matter how effective the internet is at getting news out to the world, wide and fast, you can never beat having something in your hands to keep and reflect on again and again. When you go to a magazine retailer, you have the opportunity to flick through and get an idea of whats inside the magazine before you buy, we wanted to replicate this for all our online buyers of the magazine. Check out the video flick through of our special KAWS/Murakami Issue 2 here.
