Phillip Lim Spring 2010
Lim began 3.1 as a women's line and expanded to include men in 2007. He's since become known for well-tailored basics inspired variously by Bowie, bullfighters, and Barcelona, with a more-than-occasional maritime bent (navy peacoats, sailor shirts). He's also got a knack for creating pieces that, because of their material and construction, look a lot more expensive than they actually are.
The Collection
Frontman of a mid-'80s German industrial band—think knee-high bondage boots and forearm-length, black leather gloves—applies for membership at a post-apocalyptic equestrian club: pleated riding pants, structured wool topcoats in camel and burgundy, and what look like quilted radiation vests. Throw in some animal prints, some fur (on cuffs, collars, even shoes), and lots of buckles, harnesses, and straps, and you've got Lim's vision of a total look: the modern urban adventurer.

Louis Vuitton Spring 2010
Hard to imagine a more masculine—dare we say, rugged—collection from this most luxurious of fashion houses. No daring design statements this season; instead, a tight collection of plush tweeds, down vests, refined leather coats, simple wool trousers, and rubber-soled military boots, all anchored in a palette of black, gray, and espresso. Even the trademark Vuitton bags—most of them a mix of canvas and leather—were understated and utilitarian. In other words, exactly the kind of gear a man wants to buy. That is, of course, assuming he can afford it.

Billionaire Boys Club 2010 Spring/Summer Collection New Releases
The brainchild of Pharrell Williams and NIGO, one thing that has come to represent Billionaire Boys Club as a brand is their diversity. From sneakers and streetwear to more refined offerings, BBC has seen itself embody a more eclectic range over the seasons. A collection of items seen here play to the older crowd with neck and bowties, a hankerchief and shirts. The items will release at THE ICE CREAM STORE Tokyo on February 26th, 2010.
