It seems Martin Margiela has an obsession with wood for 2011, and thinking way outside the box with the material. On Monday we shared with you the Belgian designer’s Wood Effect Shoes, and today comes the Wooden Wallet. Whereas the shoes were simply an applied effect on real napa leather, however, this wallet is actually […]

Compared to Diet Butcher Slim Skin’s previous seasons, the Retro High Tops above are actually considerably more restrained. The Japanese label — founded in 1997 by designer Hisashi Fukatami — is known for its avant-garde vision, so this high top shoe fits their manifesto. Available in 4 suede colorways, the Diet Butcher Slim Skin’s Retro High […]

Los Angeles high-fashion prodigal son Rick Owens has released his new Fall/Winter 2010 accessories collection at oki-ni, and some pieces are as cutting edge as you’d expect.
