The Barbell pleated trousers by Bstore have a quintessentially English quality, taking much influence from the brand’s British roots. They’re best presented by neatly rolling them up to the ankles. Along with the pleats, the low rise give these pants a comfortable, relaxed look and fit that’s ideal for the summer.

Mini’s teamed up with Airstream and Republic of Fritz Hansen to create a custom 6.80 meter long Airstream trailer and a modified Mini Cooper S Clubman. Republican of Fritz Hansen fitted the Airstream trailer and the Cooper S Clubman with modifications such as surfer-dude “wetsuit” neoprene, fresh colors and flower prints. Wait, is that a built-in sun-bathing bed?
The collaboration was underpinned by a passion for design and an eye for detail shared by all three brands. Mobility and the interaction with nature provided a twin-pronged focus for their endeavours. The world of watersports and the yearning of surfers for absolute freedom and harmony with their surroundings offered the perfect inspiration for the design study.
The Mini Cooper S Clubman Airstream trailer concept will make its debut at the INTERNI Design Energies exhibition at the renowned Salone del Mobile furniture show in Milan.

Material Interest turns us to Tretorn’s collaboration with Comme des Garcons for a line of trainers that don’t look much different than conventional Tretorn sneakers. So this is what happens when a Japanese and a Swedish label hookup.
Look for them this July in Comme des Garcons stores.
Aliph’s second-generation Jawbone bluetooth headset has just gotten some aesthetic and internal improvements. Sound quality is still amazing with the help of NoiseAssassin’s Voice Activity Sensor, which provides great noise elimination as long as it’s touching your face. Their new Acoustic Voice Activity Detector is great for when it’s not and overall, you can expect about 3x the noies suppression as the Jawbone 2.
The Jawbone Prime comes in well-named colors like ”Frankly Scarlet”, “Yello!”, “Drop Me a Lime” and “LILAC You Mean It” as well as the tie-too-tight friendly black, brown and platinum finishes.
The Prime is kitted with Bluetooth 1.1, 1.2, 2.0 and 2.1 + EDR support, 10 meter range, 4.5 hours talk time, 8 days standby time and two simultaneous device connections (iPhone + PS3, anyone?).

ACL has gotten their hands on Beams’ Spring 2009 catalog, leaving us as much jealous as we are impressed.

As you look through the catalog after the jump, notice the enormous amount of collaborations, most of which we’re very happy with. (more…)
