New from Social Suicide by Josh Rubin

Social-Suicide-Shark Social-Suicide-Tat2

Favorite fashion activists Social Suicide (originally shown here) have been hard at work on a few new additions to their line. Most noteworthy are Shark (above left, click to zoom) and Tat2 (above right, click to zoom). A gray woolen flannel suit with subtle pink gills on either side, Shark is cunning, gorgeous and a bit more understated than some of their earlier concepts. Tat2, an item that definitely belongs on Needled, is a bespoke suit with an embroidered recreation of your own tattoos in the same size, color and placement as the real thing. If you want one made you'll have to head to their bell tower studio in London's Shoreditch for a photo session of your tats, selection of materials and recording of measurements.

Housed in a space with both Edwin and Carhartt, founder Gareth Skewis—a well-connected professional that started his career skating in the streets of Johannesburg—now helms the growing label. His office, cluttered (in the best sense) with original artworks, Pointer samples, skateboards...

Never concerning himself with trends, but instead gathering inspiration from images found within magazines spanning National Geographic to porn, ironically...
The Boyfriend Shirt
by Ariston Anderson Scott Evan Wasserberger and Jess Zaino of Sew, a Soho, NY custom men's shirt mainstay, recognized that many a woman out there liked nothing more than to slip into her man's button-down after a long day.
