WWD’s shown us Burberry’s S/S 09 ad campaign which was shot by Mario Testino. The shots are of course amazing, and with all that green talk we’ve been hearing, it really aims to define the season.

The duel hoodie by Fifth Avenue Show Repair

It’s like a lego set (vivid imagination I have). You can take it apart and put it together in a few different variations. Talk about versatile. Fifth Avenue Show Repair’s duel hoodie has a standard hoodie, but it also packs a wrap-around neck piece and a hidden Velcro attachment.  The 100% wool piece long lean body and ribbed raglan front and dolman back sleeves.

Wear it disassembled or put together. Either way, you’ll definitely turn heads and stay warm at the same time.

More shots after the jump.

These scarves are all completely hand finished to help give each one unique effects through the fabric and construction. Each one should differ slightly from one another.  Head to BlackBird to pick one up.

Dress Codes | Plaids by The New York Times

The NYTimes has an interesting piece on plaid and how much it’s spread like a wildfire since the “cool kids” wore it during the summer.  Now, it’s gone from the cargos to the vests, shirts, and much more.  We’re definitely not complaining.  We’re paying hommage.  Checkthe images below and definitely take a look at David Colman’s piece in the NYTimes.
