To celebrate the opening of the Maison Kitsuné shop at The NoMad Hotel, Alexander Olch and Kitsuné have teamed up for a limited line of silk ties. Alexander and Masaya Kuroki, one of Kitsuné’s designers, formed a friendship while presenting their respective collections in Paris at the same showroom. Both designers are involved in fashion and art (Alexander is also a filmmaker, while Masaya is involved in the music industry) and enjoy working in diverse mediums. Alexander and Masaya share a mutual respect for timeless design, and the tie collection explores the idea of the classic New York man.

The collection consists of four neckties ($150 each) and two bow-ties ($110 each) in 100% English silk woven at a seven generations-old mill. Numbers are fairly limited and are offered exclusively at the Maison Kitsuné shop at the NoMad Hotel in New York.

Our good friends at Hodinkee give us a first look at Autodromo’s latest creation — the Vallelunga Chronograph watch. The label’s driving watches got introduced just this fall and they’ve already been a tremendous success story for the fairly new brand. They feature an exceptional design as expected and are offered at a sub-grand price point that’s sure to entice a lot of folks, including us. Some key things to note include the Vallelunga’s Swiss made movement, stopwatch, 30 minute counter, and the big date calendar window.

The Autodromo Vallelunga Chronograph is available now in two colorways through the brand’s online store for an impulse-friendly price of $550.

Some styles from the women’s line are showcased throughout the lookbook as well.

Rick Owens Spring/Summer 2012 can be found now at all global stockists including Aloha Rag.

Profound Aesthetic has dropped new offerings for Spring 2012 and we’re pretty psyched to present the goods to you. Dubbed the “Amongst Mankind” collection, the pieces range from visually profound tees to some really solid hoodies with an amazing range of leather wristwear to round out the offerings. The elbow-patched hoodies really stood out from the pack as did the well-detailed leather bracelets. All-in-all, the product here just makes us anticipate the warmer days of summer that much more.

We’ve got more images of the season’s lineup from Profound Aesthetic below though we suggest making your way over to their online store ASAP if you want a chance at grabbing your favorite pieces.

We were recently turned to French menswear label Balibaris. They launched about a year ago and have been making some really timeless pieces ever since. Some of the product available to the European market only (for now) include long-sleeve marinière tees, red selvedge jeans sourced from Japan as well as a host of mid-weight and lightweight outerwear pieces. The classic cashmere sweatshirt and French-made basic tees really stood out to us as well. The collection is exclusively crafted in Paris, with high quality European fabrics -except for the Japanese raw denim — and entirely produced in France and Europe.

Scroll below to see some of the pieces available from Balibaris for Spring 2012 as well as a short video which highlights the making of their marinière tees.
