Looking through UNIQLO’s selection of t-shirts, the ones above caught our eye. We’re a sucker for anything graphic or colorful when it comes to shirts. They can be picked up here for the modest price of $15.50 each.

Street style kicked up a notch. Black leather high-top sneaker with vulcanized sole. Available here in European sizes 40-45 for $148.

Check out this new video by friend of Neu Black Anna Wolf for Untitled Magazine. Anna is a New York based fashion photographer with clients like Target, MTV, and Virgin Mobile. We’re happy to see she’s making the jump to live action and doing it with the same subtle beauty as her still work.

First issued in 1984, this sweater by S.N.S. Herning is one of those rare gems which you see in a vintage photo and wonder how you’d ever find one. To give you an idea just of how substantial this sweater is, it weighs just over 2.6 pounds. 100% knit wool. Think of it as the OG Snuggie.

There is a secret pleasure in wearing special socks and these fit the bill. Bold geometric patterning with a fantastic color palate guarantee that when the dress shoes come off the party starts. Pick them up here for $42.

Sartorialists everywhere will be lining up like Star Wars fans for the forth coming release of  Coco Avant Chanel (Coco, Before Chanel) on April 22, 2009. Audrey Tautou (Alemie, The Da Vinci Code) plays fashion icon Coco Chanel as the film explores the early days of a name synonymous with style and her rise to fame in Paris.

The back story for London born photographer Miles Aldridge is right out of a John Cusack film. The son of an art director, Aldridge took an early interest in the creative fields. Exploring music as a venture, he tried his hand in the “psychobilly” band The X-Men, and subsequently attended the Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design, where he studied graphic design. It was not until he met his soon to be wife, supermodel Kristen McMenamy, that he solidified a position as a photographer, shooting for Vogue Italia, American Vogue, and the New York Times among others.

As his work evolved light and color became dominant features of his pieces and thus the fashion world took notice. His 2008 exhibition “Acid Candy” referenced the almost psychedelic nature of his portfolio, exhibiting his draw towards dream like qualities and the elaborate. We have received word that a monograph of Aldridge’s photographs and drawings is due to be published this spring by Karl Largefeld.

Lanvin’s winter collection of men’s shoes is everything a bloke’s shoe should be: stylish, sleek, and most of all, fun. By combining unexpected textures and materials like denim and leather, Lanvin’s designs lend even the stuffiest pair of brogues a dandy air of nonchalance. A Lanvin man might note, “I know my shoes look good. Now how’s about you try my signature sidecar?”

Ralph Lauren, Proenza Schouler and Vera Wang.

It’s no secret that the biggest game you can play in fashion is trying to decipher which hot new trend is set to replace its older, lamer counterpart. I’m more of the school of thought that you should wear what you like and what works for your body type/build/shape/frame, but there’s no denying that 2009 (and, I suspect, specifically the summertime) will be the year of the round spectacle.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

If you’re dying to jump on the Lennon boat, you can find inexpensive sunnies here and here.
