Alright Fanboys, we know the 3.0 firmware for the PS3 isn’t as exciting as we had hoped, but it’s out now so head to your unit and hit the System Update button. Mine’s downloading right now and I’m looking forward to the design tweaks but I wish this update was bringing more than just that.

From Ships comes the Twill Naval Jacket, right in time for the fall season. Blessed with a military cut for a straight/slim fit, it’s much more comfortable and soft than it seems. This may be one of the more versatile pieces of the coming season, as it can be worn with casual pants or denims, giving you flexibility to wear it with whatever you like, wherever you like. The small shawl collar with strap closure really caught my eyes, not required but definitely a deal sealer.

Not much to say about this yet but Rockstar’s let the world know they’re bringing GTA to our beloved iPhones. Don’t think it’s going to be anything like Grand Theft Auto IV because they’ve also let us know the iPhone-version’s going to be a top-down affair, much like the original GTAs from the 90s. They say sequels are never as good as the original and we might see if this holds true when the Grand Theft Auto hits the App Store this fall. No screenshots yet, but worry not, we’re on the lookout for those as wells.

This duo of oxford shirts come from the fellas at Monocle and Oliver Spencer. Selectism brings light to another amazing collaboration from one of the few still standing magazine projects.

Place for Trace is a trace holder for architects and a welcoming addition to any designer’s desk space. Enterprised by New York City-based O’Brian Muehleisen Architecture Studio, it can hold a standard roll of trace with room for up to 15 pens and pencils. Place for Trace is available in four distinct wood finishes, and although I’m no architect, this may end up being one of my future display pieces.

BMW has finally decided to take the covers of their Vision EfficientDynamics Concept vehicle ahead of its scheduled debut at the Frankfurth Motor Show. BMW says that the high-performance concept study, with their ActiveHybrid technology, showcases  “future demands in sustained mobility” and is “a symbol for the future of Sheer Driving Pleasure in harmony with trend-setting efficiency.”  The automaker says that the aim of the Vision EfficientDynamics, is to realize “the performance of a BMW M Car and a highly emotional character combined with the fuel economy and emission management of a modern small car in the premium class.”

he power delivered by the two electric motors and single diesel 3-cylinder engine gives the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept a level of performance superior to anything provided so far by a hybrid vehicle. Acceleration from a standstill to 100 km/h comes in just 4.8 seconds, while achieving fuel economy equivalent to 62.6 mpg.

Charles Dickens’ masterpiece Great Expectations was the inspiration behind Red Collar Project’s S/S 2010 collection. If not familiar, the story is about Pip, a young orphan boy who’s raised by his abusive sister and her husband. At this point, he lacked much motivation but when an anonymous benefactor offers him wealth on the condition that he leave for London, he agrees. In London, his lifestyle changes as he is groomed to be a Genteman, rather than a slacker as he once was. Red Collar Project brings influence from both aspects of Pip’s life, showing us bright colors and free spirit design mixed with dapper layers of conservative design.

As we just brought you the hi-top training boot from Common Projects yesterday, we’re sure you’ve gotten a little acquainted with the brand and their luxurious yet minimalistic design. I always liked how the only branding on any pair was the signature style number on the side of the heel. Check out the complete Fall 2009 collection after the jump.   (more…)

Barneys has these training boots from Common Projects, giving us more of the Manhattan-based label’s simplistic and understated design philosophy. The Leather cap toe lace up boot is fitted with a side zip and snap-tab closure at topline in a dark brown shell. Like all Common Projects shoes, this training boot is also hand-made in Italy, giving reasoning to the cost.
