Dana Lee has displayed some exceptional work over the past few years and the New York designer’s S/S 2012 collection is all that we expected and then some. The color palette for next spring features a perfect balance of neutrals and stand outs such as red and yellow help to give the lineup some distinction and character. With retailers like Opening Ceremony, Standard Goods and Hunting & Collecting carrying Dana Lee, we’re sure we’ll be seeing more of this amazing product in the near future.
If the imagery below isn’t enough to build the anticipation, then be sure to check out the short film Dana Lee has released to coincide with the looks.

We got hints of this a while back but Kris Van Assche has finally unveiled his short film, “A Moment in Time”. It’s directed by Joost Vandebrug and was presented a few days back at the launch of LONDERZEEL number 2 during Paris Fashion Week.

Killer Elite stars Jason Statham, Clive Owen and Robert De Niro, giving us an all-star cast in this action-packed flick. It’s been quite sometime since we last saw a lineup of this caliber and coupling that with this well-produced story line will surely make for a cloud-pleaser. We’re huge fans of all three actors which we think is reason enough to buy a ticket. So here’s the rundown — Killer Elite pits two operatives, Statham and De Niro, against a leader of a secret military society, played by Owen. It’s an international game of cat and mouse and we really can’t wait to see how it all pans out.
The movie is in theaters now nationwide and we’ve got the official trailer plus a clip of the opening scene below to give you a hint of what’s to come.

Not sure where Kris Van Assche is headed with this but we’re going to turn you guys to this anyway. The designer released a teaser video entitled, “A Moment in Time” and as you’ll see from the video below, it’s really dry on details. We can’t wait to see what the designer has in store.
