Girls Friday: Rhianna for Emporio Armani

Either I'm going mental or this Rhianna shot for Emporio Armani looks identical to the last one. Not that I'm complaining.

APC wax mac chasseur: pull!


If you haven't got a wax jacket in your collection these days then you're going to struggle to keep up with the shooting party, so to speak. Hence, presumably, French brand APC's waxed offering.

This doesn't deviate too far from the Barbour Beaufort and the like from which it takes its cue, but it does have an altogether sharper silhouette. Oui indeed.

Available from Oi Polloi, and elsewhere, I guess.

Nanamica Gore Tex campus jacket: blue

For a brand with such technical credentials in terms of the fabrics and processes they use, this jacket has a decidedly understated, almost college blazer, beatnick air to it. I guess that's why they called it the campus jacket.

But it does have a hood, and it is blue. Result.

Diemme footwear S/S 2012: generation game

No prizes for guessing the inspiration behind the recently reborn Diemme footwear. The Italian brand's heritage might date back to the 19th century but it can thank that new upstart from Japan for its second coming, that much is obvious.

That said, this is not a collection to be sniffed at. Those offbeat designs are looking very wearable.

Nike Air Max '97 Midnight Fog: Dreams of yore

There would have been a time, about, well 1997 I suppose, when I would have wet myself if I'd seen a pair of these in this colourway.

So I can see the appeal of these, even if wearing them couldn't be further from my mind.

These are different to the 97s we all grew to know and love, made using their seamless Vac Tech system, which essentially vacuum moulds the uppers to any shape they care to make. I'm guessing you could stand in a shallow stream in these and not get your feet wet, if that's your thing.

James Bond: The Spoof who loved me



Before you click this I think you should know that I am a fan. In fact if I could be James Bond for a day I would consider my life complete, as long as I got to be him when he wasn't about to be cut in half lengthways by a circular saw. Or have his nuts whipped.
