Anna-Sophie Berger Interview
It's been a while since we've heard from Anna-Sophie Berger, although if you frequent the same websites we do, hers is a name you might have seen over the last couple of weeks. The young designer made good on her excellent 2011 "m/m2" collection with her latest output, a comprehensive women's collection that she debuted at Die Angewandte's graduate show (the Viennese fashion institution from which she has just graduated). "Fashion is Fast" is a wonderfully conceptual offering that takes a critical look at the fickle world of fashion and the trends that move it forward.

Bikini Kill Capsule Collection for VFILES
Bikini Kill Capsule Collection for VFILES
10/06/2013Although I'm not inclined to wear dresses, I am rather taken by Kathleen Hanna's 'Kill Me' tee-shirt dress, a remake of the one she wore onstage in 1993, included in the small capsule collection she's just designed for VFILES. For those unaware, Hanna fronted seminal riot grrrl group Bikini Kill in the '90s, and the new collection of items - which includes clothing, signed posters, a book and chap stick - references the band and the aesthetic they ran with at the time.

Casely-Hayford FW13 Collection Video
Casely-Hayford FW13 Collection Video
05/06/2013We love Sean Frank's new campaign video for Casely-Hayford, bringing to life the British designers’ ice hockey inspired collection. The FW13 collection effortlessly highlights elements of the sport that have become infused into streetwear over the years, together with the more familiar Casely-Hayford brand aesthetic of bespoke tailoring.

Simon Cato Interview
Launched earlier this year in London, menswear label O. BALLOU presents a classic vision of sophisticated, yet casual fashion for today's discerning and worldly young man. A personal interest in production values of the highest order meant that founder and designer, Simon Cato, spent three years researching craft and production in Italy and Sicily, sourcing materials and the craftsmen to shape them, before bringing mention of the brand to the public sphere - a move that is evident in the refined, elegant construction of O. BALLOU's Fall/Winter 2013 collection.

An Interview with Hannes Hogeman of Très Bien Shop
13/05/2013As streetwear (in the traditional sense) channels an increasingly high-end aesthetic, and, accordingly, high-fashion continues to mimic street trends, there are a select few menswear retailers who hit the nail on the head season after season, with curated selections that appeal to evolving trends and tastes. Sweden’s Très Bien Shop is such a store.
