Last week us intrepid Canoers put on our Autumn/Winter 2010 press days at the excellent Vinyl Factory to showcase our brands' new AW collections. 150 of the country's top journalists, editors and stylists popped down to see what was going on from our roster of clients, and all in all, it was a super successful 2 days.

So, the legendary Manhattan Records in Tokyo is celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year. And to mark the milestone with a bang, the wax store is putting on an event in the form of a battle between two of the world's most legendary, iconic musicians: DJ Premier (Gang Starr) and Pete Rock (of Pete Rock and CL Smooth). Without these two, it's pretty safe to say music wouldn't be what it is today. Anyway, Premo's produced some of my all time, top records (including tracks from Nas' 'Illmatic'). The man is a straight up legend. And here he is rocking...
Earlier today I hopped over to King headquarters along with the homies from The Daily Street to get a sneak peak at the freshly delivered Autumn/Winter 2010 samples. In case you don't know, The Daily Street is a discerning London-based fashion, art and music blog with a strong focus on the UK. It's only been live for four or so months, but the guys have around 1,300 fans on Facebook already. They don't even work on the site full time. That's no mean feat. The sample set for King's AW10 collection was pretty strong. I gotta say, if those...
King have always been strong conceptual thinkers, and their SS10 lookbook cements this reputation further. Employing some always on-point photography from regular collaborator Neil Bedford (Billionaire Boys Club, Stussy, Nike Sportswear), modeling from turntablist extraordinaire DJ IQ and a magic, bottomless cardboard box, the chaps at King bring a lookbook that boasts some refreshingly tongue-in-cheek stop motion animation. Which also happens to provide some excellent insight into what to expect from their forthcoming spring/summer collection. Take a peek: The collection drops the first week of March - keep your browsers on www.king-apparel.com for more info....
