Street Cardy Style

The cardigan. Usually associated with Granny's and Grandpa's and mousy school teachers. But team it up with some jazzy colours and prints, you can turn it around. Perfect for summer nights chilling on the beach or in the city streets. Paul and Joe, youheshe.com - all I have say!

Scrub Up!

British Crabtree & Evelyn is known for its luxury flower scented soaps and perfumes for women, however, for many many years the brand has produced outstanding mens series which are oftern overlooked! I stumbled upon this new soap the other day, and I must say its the most yummy summer soap! If only they had it as a cologne. It's not specifically for men or women but I'd say it has a quite masculine scent. It combines, vetiver and juniperberry (not quite sure what in the world a juniperberry is but it sounds interesting!). There's a lovely little shop in Silkegade in the center of Copenhagen, Victroria's Crabtree & Evelyn, stop by and have a whiff!

Good luck Chris, you have some big shoes to fill!

Modern Day Heros!

As a little kid one always had a hero, policemen, sportsmen, superheros, cowboys or soliders. They've always been a source of inspiration. This summer everyones playing dress-up, and one simply must own some kind of cult jacket. So go have a good rumage around your dad's old clothes, see if you can find his old high school jacket, or denim jacket. If that fails, vintage shops are always a sure bet. Around Larsbjørnstræde, in the center of Copenhagen, there're are tons of second-hand shops. The sun is out so take a stroll and have a look.

Helmut Lang turns Exhibitionist

Helmut Lang, icon of the 1990's, the king of minimalism is currently being honoured through an exhibition at the Bath Fashion Museum. Some of his most famous peices will be shown and the designer is thrilled to be a part of the exhibit, 'Turn of the Century'. However this is not the first time Lang has donated his clothes to various galleries. Around the world he has shown in London's Victoria & Albert Museum, the Musée de la Mode in Paris and Japan's Kyoto Costume Institute, and since stepping down from his label in 2005 the designer has been focusing on developing as an artist. If you're so lucky and happen to be in England any time soon, don't miss it.

Back to the Chalk Board

My little brother in his uniform.

Growing up I've always had to wear a school uniform and resented it, and now I finally don't have to wear one anymore I find myself putting on knee socks and a tie anyway. Ironic. The british school boy has been used as inspiration for many many years, and this summer there a definatelty some new takes on the trend. Satchels and rucsacks are back on the scene, and its all about retro geek gear and school boy wims. Here are some ideas for taking a trip down memory lane...
