MEN.STYLE.COM SPRING '09 PREVIEW

Just published on men.style.com was a single look preview from a number of America-based menswear designers set to have their runway shows early next month, including several featured at Blackbird. Along with the look is a quick bit from the designer explaining the collection/looks. Click here for the article or check below for the Blackbird brands shown. Photos and text courtesy of men.style.com.

Band of Outsiders "Glenn O'Brien's TV Party, an odd Esquire piece from '82 on gym attire, Velcro, and old Coast Guard uniforms I found on eBay."


Robert Geller "Bohemian styling and classic tailoring. The mix of formal and casual silhouettes, romantic colors, and subtle texture evokes a hazy spring day in Eastern Europe."


Tim Hamilton "Spring '09 is my take on futuristic streetwear, where boundaries are erased, shapes are gender-ambiguous (but inherently masculine), and fabrics are a juxtaposition of steely fabrics with soft yarns."


Rag & Bone "Our key theme is postpunk English counterculture fashion, from Jamaican rudeboy to British skinhead."

LABOR DAY

As workers across America rest and recreate, Blackbird will remain open on Labor Day for tourist and locals alike. If you are in town for the weekend or shopping around Ballard stop by and pay us a visit.

FIXED GEAR + SEATTLE = FAST FRIDAY

When Blackbird friend Adam Sinding sent us word of the documentary "Fast Friday", about Seattle's fixed gear riding community, we got excited. It's hilly here, and we get our fair share of rain, but in Seattle bikes are kind of a thing.

The film is named for the monthly event, "Fast Friday", which was started by clothing designer Dustin Klein (Cadence clothing) as a way to bring together Seattle's fixed gear riding community. In 2006, the year Fast Fridays got started, director David Rowe started showing up and participating, camera in tow. A year and 30 hours of footage later, he had the material for his documentary about the emergence of Seattle's fixed gear community. Not to mention footage showing off some of today's most talented riders.

The film is traveling to 17 cities worldwide with this year's Bicycle Film Festival, and is also available for sale on the website, www.fastfridaymovie.com. For now, check out the teaser photos that the director sent our way, below:

ACNE + VOGUE

Guys, bear with me. It's in Women's Vogue, but the article, "Välkommen Acne!", should be on your queue of interesting articles to read on your lunch.

Vogue tells the story of Acne, known for the jeans we love but responsible for much more (toys, a mind-bogglingly great biannual magazine, etc.), and its mastermind, Jonny Johannson. It's interesting to read, and with comments from designer collaborators and Johannson himself, it explains how so much quality and inspiration comes from one place. For men and women.

MALIN + GOETZ IN NY TIMES

Malin + Goetz, a customer favorite, recently popped up in the New York Times. Their article featuring multi-season products, Beauty Aids for All (at Least Several) Seasons, puts Malin + Goetz hair care front and center:

"Malin + Goetz favorites — Peppermint Hair Shampoo ($76), Cilantro Hair Conditioner ($84) and Sage Styling Cream ($156, all at malinandgoetz.com) — now come in 32-ounce bottles, great for outdoor beach showers and big enough to last for months."

We also stock the smaller, 8 oz. bottles, and plenty of their other products. Check previous posts for more of their goods.

TIM HAMILTON FALL/WINTER 2008

Tim Hamilton's fall/winter 2008 collection takes a heavy influence from legendary Russian ballet dancer Vaslav Nijinsky. There is a heavy dose of leggings and slim fitting tops which might bring dance to mind. Hamilton injects his usual dose of luxury and comfort into the art which results in some terribly comfortable pieces to wear for a lifetime.

ODYN VOVK ON SCOUTE

One of Blackbird's brands coming this Spring/Summer '09, Odyn Vovk, is already receiving attention in the press. The Fashionisto just published a short article on the label, introducing the designer, Austin Sherbanenko, and story behind his line [see "Feature Label: Odyn Vovk Spring 2009"]. Scoute also just published a more extensive interview with Sherbanenko, "Interview: Odyn Vovk".

ENTERMODAL - SALE

These bags by Entermodal, a line that's been receiving plenty of hype in the press lately, are on sale. The company was recently featured on men.style.com [see their Fall Trend Report, Trad and True] and in Monocle, who wrote the following in praise of their bags and accessories:

"It may have just missed out on our Top 20, but Portland should console itself with the fact it's home to Entermodal. Ex-Karrimor designer Larry Olmstead established the accessories brand three seasons ago, handcrafting all bags in the city using 19th-century production techniques. Entermodal's new range of travel bags [...] include recycled aluminium buckles, and are lined with Pendleton Wool."

We only have one of each color of this bag left, and they're 50% off. For a lifetime's worth of bag, this is an incredible deal.

Entermodal - "Mobile" Messenger Bag

orig. $1500, now $750.99

SHIPLEY & HALMOS on IN THE CLOSET (lamest name ever)

S&H are clearly as charming as always, but what is up with the forced Olympics fashion theme of this interview? Does listening in on the conversations of these GQ guys really get me excited about menswear? Not really. Give me some real insights. Give me the scoop. At least Sam and Jeff hold it together.

Also... did you catch the strange camera shots of Sam's middle section. What's going on?

COMME DES GARCONS CDG#2 SILVER WORDS PRE-ORDER

Coming for the holiday season is a new addition to the Comme des Garcons Parfum world, the limited edition re-packaging of CdG#2, Silver Words. We are expecting these to go quite quickly and, as a result, are taking pre-orders for them with a non-refundable 50% deposit. Just e-mail for any further information! Bottles come as a 50ml spray, will cost $95, and should be shipping around November.

"Words contain meanings like a bottle holds a perfume. Both convey messages that can be interpreted and experienced in an immense variety of different ways, each of them communicates an essence, a thought, a shared experience. Messages in bottles have always signified belief and a hope for the future.

Using advanced serigraphic techniques, evolved from traditional printing methods, the original Comme des Garcons 2 pebble-shaped bottle has been lacquered in black to contain silver words of peace, freedom and love in several languages.

The result is a deep, matt-black colour surface holding an infinate mesage of hope, stamped in silver words."
