If you’re not sold on this jacket from first glance, then you should be after I add my two cents. The tan suede shell is not for everyone but when you bring out a timeless piece like Levi’s trucker jacket in this material, it should be an insta-buy. The outer is brilliant soft suede and on the flip side inside soft leather. The fit on the Type III from Levi’s Vintage has been known to be slimmer than the standard trucker and the fact that it’s made with absolute care in Italy makes it an even easier purchase.

The Spring 2012 runway show for Dries Van Noten was a tremendous success in Paris as the designer showed a strong collection, headlined by utilization of waterproof fabrics.

Maison Martin Margiela’s Spring 2012 collection was amazing to say the least as the styling was a perfect mix of modern and timeless. Shades of blue and red filled the stage but there was a healthy amount of neutrals like black and white to even the playing field.
