New Shoes
Common Projects at Gargyle
It’s high time to treat get a new pair of kicks for spring / summer… if only I had the cash to throw down for those Common Projects’ überpremium Vans…
Convertible Stan Smiths
Looks like Nike's also trying to give Vans a run for the money

New Shoes

Dior Homme Chukka, via HB as always.
At this point in short history of IYK, it should be fairly obvious that I have a thing for shoes.
Hiroshi Fujiwara is on point as always. Via DQM.
Hair and shoes say it all. Everything in between is forgivable as long as you keep it simple. Trying to talk with your clothes is passive-aggressive.
–Rick Owens, Rules of Style on Details.com. Total classic.
Jak & Jill has an absolutely gorgeous (vaguely pornographic) look at Louis Vuitton's F/W 2010 Accessories

Opening Ceremony Fall/Winter 2010
Opening Ceremony posted its Fall/Winter 2010 menswear lookbook last week.
These are just a few of my favorite selections from this a solid showing from the venerable brand/store. The two installments of this collection are inspired by the French and the English, respectively, all executed in a trademark modern cut with the finest materials.
The model looks a bit too surly for his own good—I want to fight him and steal his clothes.

Uniqlo Spring 2010 Lookbook
Another strong showing from Japan’s answer to Gap. Some of the pieces are rather effete, but the clean lines and slim fit strike a perfect balance between classicism and modernism.

Helm Handmade Boots
Helm is a leather goods label based in Austin, TX. Their boots, belts and bags are hand-crafted by “artisans in Istanbul” from carefully sourced premium materials.
The emphasis on quality—nice but unremarkable in itself—is matched by impeccable attention to detail in terms of design: all of the boots capture a refined American West-meets-Europe sensibility to achieve an aesthetic that is both timeless and fashion-forward. (My namesake, a style called the Ray Ray, pictured above, happens to be my favorite one.) These reference points are reflected in Helm’s current stockists in Austin and Denmark; NYC in early next year.
