Victorinox x Yuhzimi: Urban Survivor by Josh Rubin

Us-Coolhunting-4-1

Swiss-based "interdisciplinary task force" Yuhzimi paired up with the 100-year old Victorinox to create a limited edition line of these artist-designed "Urban Survivor" pocket knives. Maharishi dressed theirs up with their trademark camo, WK Interact's features an abstract figure and a signature on the blade, and Fafi adorns the classic red with one of her heart-cheeked girls. Each features a different set of tools and all come with a custom-designed chain and package. Retailing for $89, only 200 of each will be made and they will debut at Fafi's opening this coming Monday at Colette in Paris, following sometime next month at 8Five2 in Hong Kong, Maharishi in London, Trust Nobody in Barcelona, 90sqm in Amsterdam, Evil Monito Co-op in Los Angeles, Greyone in Pasadena, Nomad in Toronto, and more to come. See some detail and Cool Hunting exclusive behind-the-scenes shots after the jump.

Avroko for Mona & Holly
From the award-winning restaurant design team Avroko comes an equally adept collection of "uniforms" for the playful womenswear label Mona & Holly. Muddling the lines between service and fashion, Avroko's recent endeavor was inspired by the modest nurse attire from the 1900s and the glamorous steward outfits of the '50s, resulting in a collection of beautifully detailed, elegant apparel. The limited edition line will...
Georg Jensen x Brooks Saddles x Sögreni Wheels Bicycle
We liked the Georg Jensen x Brooks Saddles x Sögreni Wheels bicycle collaboration when it was announced last fall. Now that we've had the opportunity to see one of the 14 limited edition fixed gear bicycles in person we really like it. It makes sense that Georg Jensen reached out to Sögreni (both are Denmark-based). The bicycle is basically a Sögreni Classic with a...
