FLAWA PAW-WA!

Maybe you've found Doc Marts a little too hard for your look, maybe it's come across as a little too punk. There's now a pair, or four, of Docs to appeal to that flower child in you.

THE JEAN GENIUS

THE JEAN GENIUS

Engineer training and an artist’s spirit meet in the noggin of chief designer, owner (and we argue, creative genius) behind jeans brand Kohzo, Shauket Imam. Kohzo’s jeans stand out head and shoulders above the rest of the denim pack for using unconventional materials and manufacturing methods, and CATALOG learns from Mr. Kohzo (as he prefers to be called), that his motivations are driven towards a higher calling. What is it about Japan that you prefer as a designer? First of all, Europe’s textile industry is gone. It’s a condemned industry…

THESE SHOES WERE MADE FOR CREEPIN'

An eternal CATALOG favourite - you guessed it - creepers! What's not to like about them, they look darned good, and that elevation!

Launched on 23 December 2011, the online store stocks current favourites like Uniform Wares watches, Sandqvist and Jewel Rocks jewellery, and has shifted its curation towards discovering Asian brands, and items that are more affordable and accessible yet still retain the store's quirky touch. We'll definitely miss the pop ups, cafes, wonderful lights and high ceilings though. Now if we could get them to move to Eng Hoon Street...

KUNG FU HATS!

KUNG FU HATS!

Check it out, this tickled us a little this dreary Monday: Local designer Ashburn Eng from Young & Restless has come up with a new hat that a junkie of Channel 8 period serials will recognise. Pugalistic hats! They're like the hats that used to conceal a femme fatale or an assassin in disguise, except Y&R's version keeps fashion warriors stylishly shaded. The Flying Saucer Hats, so they are named, were created for a fashion showcase, and they look just about prepared to whisk its wearer away into a high…

You know how it is with jeans sometimes. You wear heels and the length of your jeans is just right, wear flats, then you're walking on your jeans. Hem Gems have come along and they've tickled our fancy. Think: they're pins made to look like rivets on your jeans, that you can use to hold up any extra length at the bottom hems of your jeans. Hem Gems! This is one of those things that's so much of a no-brainer, but makes so much sense when it comes along. Priced…

CHLOE SEVIGNY FOR OPENING CEREMONY: PART FOUR

CHLOE SEVIGNY FOR OPENING CEREMONY: PART FOUR

Opening Ceremony can't get enough of Chloe Sevigny, or is it the other way around? The street style wunderkind has once again worked with Opening Ceremony for a fourth collection that seems to hark back to the good ol' Fresh Prince of Bel-Air days of sassy pants and prints. Her visual narrative is old-school street wear meets vintage underwear, and that's mad apparent in pieces like the laser cut skirts hewn out of leather, sweet eyelet dresses and bloomers paired with cropped tops. We love! Priced from $90, the Chloe…

FIRST LOOK: ZADIG & VOLTAIRE'S SPRING/SUMMER 2012 COLLECTION

Inspired by nautical naughtymen and the culture of rock, Zadig & Voltaire's Spring/Summer 2012 collection does a lovely play on androgyny and mixes it up with visual elements associated with the two inspirations. Think stand-up collars, tailored jackets, flowy blouses and pieces with frog-fastenings and shoulder flaps. The aesthetic in some pieces also carry a DIY vibe - thigh high denim shorts feature frayed edges, and jersey knits are overdyed and lightened. Girl pieces take on boyfriend proportions, and bright, bold metallics are made wearable for guys and girls alike.…

SOAR, THUNDERBIRD!

SOAR, THUNDERBIRD!

Shoes so soft that they mould into the shape of your feet. If only all shoemakers thought the same way the people at Minnetonka do. Constructed the same way the Native American Indians created their shoes, Minnetonka moccasins are made from suede, leather, cowhide, deerskin or moosehide from Scandinavia and America. The sides and soles of the shoes are hand-sewn and joined at the top with an additional flap, which allows the shoe to form around the wearer's feet.
