October But It's Not Even Cold
Like WTF right? Chalk it up to global warming or just the weird warm winds blowing in from the north but it's damn near the end of October and temperatures barely dip below 60ยบ here in Los Angeles. Two years ago, I was freezing my fanny off (laugh British people, LAUGH) walking the dog. So what to wear in this kind of weather? I think the light hoodie by B-Son is perfect. It's super comfy and I even go so far as layering a sheer gray tank with matte sequins on top. YES I WENT THERE.
Get the hoodie at Standard Style for $75.

Paul Smith x Burton Snowboard Jacket
I absolutely love Paul Smith's stuff, and I especially love this wonderful work of collaboration between Paul Smith and snowboard-maker Burton. I highly doubt this will do anything for my snowboarding 'skillz' (which for the moment are far from 'mad') - but it does look awesome!

Alexander McQueen For Puma
I love me some McQueen, truly a brilliant man, a standout in the fashion world. I've often imagined what his take on a sneaker would look like and now I don't have to wonder anymore. He and Puma have teamed up for a collection of shoes inspired by, wait for it . . . the foot. Referencing tendon structures, veins, toe prints, and musculature build, the collection not only looks as fierce as his refined Puma logo above, but functions too. Each shoe also comes with a little metal hang tag shaped like a cat's sabre. I want almost every shoe! Hit the jump for more photos.

He's Such A Character
The Satorialist snapped a great picture of a man whom I believe to be related to the Travelocity Gnome. I love seniors with style.

When Dyson And Issey Miyake Get Together
The Wind is created. Probably one of the most unexpected collaborations to form but definitely one of the most interesting - a clothing collection? We know Dyson as those cool $500+ vacuums that cleans like no nobody's business and Miyake to be Japan's most avant garde fashion designer. The end result is a collection called The Wind. Fashion inspired by every part of a Dyson vac, but built using Miyake's patented textile manufacturing processes and design chops. The year long exploration culminated in a theatrical fashion show with moving air tubs and fans blowing. Look at it not just as clothes, but as an art project that explores the possibilities of performance fabrics able to withstand the harshest elements on Earth.
Watch the promo video.
This is what a Dyson vac looks like broken down to its individual parts.
CEO of Dyson, James Dyson and Creative Director of Issey Miyake, Dai Fujiwara discuss initial concepts.
The Issey Miyake design team explores different textiles utilizing their patented APOC technology. This method of production creates clothes out of single tubes of cloth you just cut out when ready.
