Releasing next month as part of G-SHOCK’s 2009 October releases are a two-pack of GLS-5600Ls. The watch’s construction looks similar to that of the iconic DW-5600 with the added benefit of increased weatherproofing over other iterations of the 5600. Availability begins next month at select G-SHOCK retailers.

I’m liking those light blue button downs. Good for my school uniform which I hate wearing by the way. But I make it fresh so hey!
Japanese label BEDWIN , founded by Masafumi “Bebeton” Watanabe (who also co-founded Tenderloin, boasts paramount quality in their apparel. Following a simple yet tried-and-true concept of fresh twists and perspective on classics, staples we are all familiar with such as toggle coats, suits and button downs become something rather modern and new without being jarring. The label’s Fall/Winter 2009 collection sees interesting pieces such as sturdy woolen suits, white button downs with print details on sleeves, brightly colored pea coats and toggle coats, deliberately wrinkled denim jackets and newsboy caps. UNION LA just received some great pieces from Bedwin such as the rain jacket and button downs. Check out Union LA for more Fall shopping.

Sneaker customizer Sekure D is slowly making the transition into art with his second solo exhibition this year titled Toonbots & Roboheroes to be held at Qubic Gallery in Auckland, New Zealand. The exhibition will feature a painted installation over 6 walls and more than 15 new never before seen canvas art works. Sekure D will be in store a week in prior to paint the installation which would be an interesting way to check the progress or to catch up with Sekure D in person. The exhibition runs for a month from mid October until mid November.

Scott Jarvie will be exhibiting his atlas chair at this year’s 100% design london. the design is derived by projecting flat angled planes through a volume and using the intersecting elements to generate the profiles that create the sections of the chair. this allows complex surface geometry to be rationalized to planar surfaces, providing sculptural possibilities while utilizing materials efficiently, developing a system that facilitates construction.
