SAINT LAURENT AVENUE MONTAIGNE STORE
Under the creative direction of Hedi Slimane, the 900 m2 store is a physical embodiment of the brand’s realigned visual identity. An emphasis on rich, noble materials, generous proportions and architectural clarity as well as a preference for simplicity
over elaborate decoration bestows an air of serene, contemporary luxury and evokes the works and philosophies of the Union des Artistes Modernes (UAM).
Situated over two floors, the new store architecture and design is a modernist transposition of French Art Deco techniques and materials. The predominantly monochrome space exploits generous slabs of the finest ‘noir soie’ and
‘blanc statuaire’ marble set in opposition to board formed concrete walls. Silver and gold is found in 1930’s mirrored vitrines, with nickel-plated and mirror polished brass, atop a minimal concrete flooring. Stark contrasts in mood and atmosphere are created through the employment of dark sensual quilted leather upholstery
paired with extra-clear glass and mirrors while suspended hangbars in nickel-plated brass and minimalist marble display
podiums form elegant counterpoints to the flat surfaces.
Decoration is derived from the materials themselves. The natural veining in the marble and the concrete walls allow the architecture to retain a purity of form and a geometric rigor.

FRED PERRY X CHRISTOPHER RAEBURN
For Spring/Summer 2013 Fred Perry has announced a new Blank Canvas Capsule Collection with British designer Christopher Raeburn. Known for his heavy military inspiration in all of his designs, it comes without any surprise that the Fred Perry x Christopher Raeburn Blank Canvas line uses various camouflage patterns.
The American Issue Desert camouflage was specifically designed as an interference pattern for use during the early 90s, one that would interrupt the pixelated images of first generation night vision services. . The Schneetarn East German camouflage also known as ‘snowy pines’ is an unusual two-colour winter camouflage developed by a mountain warfare school first trialled in the 60s. Finally, the German Raindrop camouflage is a strong graphic reference from the 60s and 70s, less effective as an actual camouflage because at close range the colours would blend together.
All shirts feature tipping on the collar, in military green and orange plus an original surplus fabric woven patch pocket with a Fred Perry and Christopher Raeburn embroidery.

Supra has teamed up with director Harmony Korine on the Spring Breakers Donavyn low top sneaker. Celebrating the releas of his upcoming Spring Breakers film starring Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson, Rachel Korine, and James Franco.
The Spring Breakers Donavyn is a low top, redolent of a dress shoe, with a color story that, at first glance, is as bizarre as some of Harmony’s scripts. But the hot pink and turquoise color story was chosen as a nod to another ubiquitous Florida institution, the hit 80's TV show Miami Vice. The upper is constructed from a unique, hot pink leather that looks shiny and wet like patent leather, but is actually a premium full-grain leather that technology has only recently been able to furnish with these kinds of extreme hues and textures - this is one of the first shoes in the world to feature this new material. It also has three pairs of laces (black, hot pink, and turquoise), a padded black mesh lining, and it’s constructed on a bright turquoise vulcanized sole with a double layer of turquoise foxing. Only 100 pairs of the Spring Breakers Donavyn were created.

ADIDAS CONSORTIUM X HANON CNTR
For this release Hanon pay tribute to their hometown of Aberdeen - The Granite City!
Both the colour way and material application are inspired by the surroundings which were historically built from locally quarried granite.
Executed in suede, mesh and nubuck, the grey upper of the Centaur depicts the seasonal change of Aberdeen’s granite landscape. At the rear of the shoe there is a dark grey suede with a heavy nap representing the gloom of winter which is offset by a dual layered silver mesh and light grey nubuck that leans towards the fairer months of the year.
Additional features appear by way of red accents, granite three stripes and multi print sock liner. The detail on the stripes was created by applying a mirror image print of the grain on the stonework at our warehouse to a black 3M reflective material, while the footbed and tongue backer draws inspiration from adidas’ archive boxes and tissue paper.
Further detail on the shoe appears in the form of dual branding via debossed heel tabs and embroidered Consortium tongue pulls. The hanon flame appears on the left shoe whilst the adidas Trefoil is applied on the right. Each hanon Centaur comes with silver foil footbed labels, three sets of laces - one tonal, one contrast and one with a reflective weave.
A limited edition dust bag will be released with a number of pairs of the shoe and 50 pcs of a special edition ‘granite’ tshirt will accompany the shoe for the instore launch only.

ADIDAS CONSORTIUM - FIRST WOMEN'S COLLECTION
Since the relaunch of adidas’ top tier Consortium line last year, there has been a natural demand for women’s product with comparable quality materials and detailing. To respond to these requests,
adidas Originals has joined forces with two Scandinavian retailers, WOOD WOOD and Sneakersnstuff, to create the first capsule collection designed specifically for women within the Consortium range.
The three silhouettes - Gazelle Vintage (WOOD WOOD), ZX 700 (Sneakersnstuff) and Basket Profi (adidas Originals) - are varied in style but all share a directional foundation. The look
and feel of each shoe is considered, and as always with sneakers in the Consortium range, construction
and high quality materials are fundamental.

Decade Hi X Aloe Blacc (opposite) - The ox blood premium leather is suggestive of African soil while the translucent gum outsole represents the bare foot of Blacc's inspiration, Ethiopian gold medalist and marathon runner Abebe Bikila, who competed in the 1960 Olympics held in Rome.
Pro Shell X MURO - MURO's Pro Shell is understated, but bursts of detail are found throughout, like the jersey material covering the ankle padding that features engineered stripes reminiscent of a track top's cuff.
ZX 500 X Quote - Quote's muted colour-way is directly influenced by the blue and white track of the Berlin Olympic Stadium.
Matchplay X J. Thompson - Thompson looked back to the adidas archives of track and field shoes from the '30s as inspiration, and has used very subtle waxed leather on most of the upper which gives it a vintage look. A matching pigskin suede toebox shows impeccable attention to detail while the lack of lining gives it a handcrafted feel.

CARHARTT X 5BORO NYC COLLECTION
“The 5BORO NYC and Carhartt W.I.P. crew skated and documented their way from the founding city of 5boro, “The Big Apple” to the founding city of Carhartt, “Motor City”. Carhartt’s Pontus Alv and 5boro’s Mark Nardelli worked together laying out Pontus’ sketches and photos to create the collection, officializing this collaboration with a distinct Carhartt-colored, co-branded labeling system.
"Carhartt loves skateboarding and so does 5boro. Sure Carhartt W.I.P. is primarily a European thing – and 5boro owns a big part of its existence to the New York City roots it so greatly takes pride in – but the truth is that this geographical and cultural difference is quite easily overshadowed by what both do have in common: A genuine love for skateboarding, and a certain way to go about it.
Both Carhartt and 5boro embrace all aspects of skateboarding, with teams consisting of a wide variety of skaters, on the board and off. When 5boro offered Carhartt team member Pontus Alv a guest board the ball started rolling and a while later flights were already being booked. Once everybody got in the van together it was only a matter of time for things to fall into place, by the time we left for Detroit both crews had pretty much blended together. After coming back to NYC, Pontus and 5boro’s art director Mark Nardelli got together and sealed the deal on our newfound alliance by designing these Carhartt X 5boro items.”

“We wanted to propose a classic take on the Reebok Workout shoe. With an upper as grey as the Parisian rooftops & the streets that we skate. Orange as an honor to the classic gum soles.
Since we have our heart in skate culture, maybe it wasn’t a coincidence that the shoe ended up looking something like a skate shoe…
For the materials we wanted something more technical; water-resistant suede for the upper, Thinsulate™ lining & an inner sole with cushion. Easy on the looks but performing for the user.”

YOHJI YAMAMOTO - THIS IS MY DREAM
Notoriously private Japanese fashion design icon Yohji Yamamoto lets his guard down in an exclusive, intimate short documentary film about life and the creative process, from Tokyo to New York.
A perfect emblem of Yamamoto’s drive for innovation, the Y-3 label -one of eight distinctive lines the designer oversees- has created a new category in fashion since its introduction in 2002. Born out of a desire to merge Yamamoto’s craftsmanship with adidas’ technical prowess, Y-3 has come to be recognized as the future of sportswear, and it is the backdrop against which the film unfolds.
The documentary tracks Yohji Yamamoto and the global team working on the collection, casting, styling, show production, PR and communication for a short period of time during the Summer and early Autumn of 2009. Beginning with the finalization of the collection and styling for the show in Tokyo, followed by his arrival in New York City to oversee the final touches for the presentation of Y-3’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection, the documentary turns an intimate eye on Yamamoto during fittings, model castings, guitar-playing, philosophical musings, and interactions with his staff and the global team bringing his ideas to life.

ADAM KIMMEL X CARHARTT
Upcoming collaboration by Adam Kimmel and Carhartt, in which the launch collection encompasses 29 pieces, including outerwear, jeans, plaid flannel shirts and pants in moleskin or cotton twill. Accessories in the line include a duffel and tote bag as well as cotton cashmere beanies.
“Workwear could be found in all of my collections—like the jumpsuit which was inspired in part by the uniform of painters and mechanics. And as I said durability and wearability are also big staples of mine. I’ve always appreciated clothes that you can wear everyday, and I think both my brand and Carhartt supply that. While the AK product is handmade in Italy using very high-end fabric, the Adam Kimmel/Carhartt collection is made in Carhartt workwear facilities. The price point will be somewhere between Carhatt’s and my own.”

A.P.C. + CARHARTT
"Carhartt is in many ways the epitomy of the endless golden west, so brilliantly portrayed by Woody Guthrie, and which has been with us for so long. Wandering towards glory, a journey which is to take you away forever, and lonely teardrops will be shed along the path.
Pioneer spirit, gold digger... to tell you the truth, I have never thought much of these myths, and I find them somewhat nauseating. Nevertheless, its uniform has always meant hitting home base for A.P.C.. I have always tried to emulate this viewpoint that, when convenience is really to the point, the outcome is genuinely beautiful.
Therefore, a collaboration between Carhartt and A.P.C. was clearly the thing to do.
Work clothes are pretty good at leading a life of their own: they’ll ramble on, talking to themselves in your wardrobe, and will always be there for you. It is also true that they speak louder once worn, dirtied, soiled, washed and dried in the open air.

DICKIES X JAPANESE MENS DESIGNERS
Until now we have seen Dickies collaborate with a plethora of Japanese streetwear brands. Most of the time the brand only added their logo tag to the classic Dickies styles. Now the brand has worked with some of Japan’s high fashion mens designers, including Undercover, N. Hoolywood and Deisuke Gemma of sacai. We love that these collaborations go much further, decontructing Dickies pieces and adding new materials, cuts and looks to these classics.

EXIT MEETS SNOOP
Billie JD Piper recently had the chance to catch up with Snoop Dogg at a press conference held by adidas at Footlocker's flagship store in London
Here Snoops answers Exit's ever probing questions.
When asked about his activity on U-stream and Twitter:
'U-Stream is a great way for artists to connect with their fans, and witness un-staged, un-scripted moments. Its sites like that where they decide what it is they like about you personally, aside from the music. '
When asked which London designers he had his eye on:
'All of 'em. '
When asked about his pre-stage rituals:
'I have a big cup of tea and relax. I'm big on herbal tea. '
When asked to give women some advice on men (the piece de resistance):
'Women go wrong because they don't understand that the basis of a relationship is friendship. A woman should act like a lady. If you're chilling with your buds playing video games she should know to stay out of the room until you've finished. Unless she's bringing you drinks.'
Adidas X Exit Exclusive:
'I'm writing my own movie called A Woman's Touch. It's about all the women who have made an impact on my life; my mother, my daughter and my wife. '

It has not been in production since 1949, so it was really inspiring to work with. With this sofa as a reference, I started to look at how we worked architecturally, instead of just treating say the upholstery. I decided as an alternative to objectify its form from a perspective play. As we do with fashion we played with proportion, lineage and structure – stretching, squashing and pulling the simplistic shape to create new sculptural forms.

MAN BAGS
For this Fall, Louis Vuitton adds some details to their men’s bag line. The most prominent is the black leather piping and detailing which accentuate the monogram a bit, and make these bags more than simple clones of their female counterparts. Our favorite of the collection would be the soccer inspired weekender with the patch leather work. Almost makes the weekender worthy of a kick around the field.

Willhelm has designed shoe collections for both men and women. Moccasins and sandals fabricated with handcrafted techniques and recycled materials, hand sewn, coloured felts with rubber soles. The innovation is also illustrated simply, with actual traits of common sense. “I wanted to apply ethical and ecological criteria in the making of this shoe collection. I would like people to keep these criteria in mind when they are choosing a shoe”. Willhelm’s designs are added to those that Jaime Hayon, Alfredo Häberli and Maria Blaisse have developed “together” within Camper’s new creative adventure.

In a fantastic collaboration with London's Hideout, the entire store frontage has been plastered with Supreme/Lou Reed posters and looks genius.

BEACH TOWEL
From the looks of the image and “message” you could assume that this is a piece of new art - maybe stencil white on black canvas. The truth is that it is a simple but beautiful beach towel from Raf Simons with a very open ended message: “there is a crack in everything that’s how the light gets in”. It’s part of the Raf Simon’s Spring/Summer 2009 Accessories collection and now that spring has officially arrived in London its time to start thinking about all things summery.

"BLOW"
Talking of the sunshine...Every season there is one stand-out model of crazy sunglasses that make the rounds. Jeremy Scott is usually good for a surprise on that end, but was reasonably subtle this season. Instead its left to Dior Homme to present the “Blow” sunglasses.
They come in 5 colorways, with each colorway ultra limited to only 500 pieces worldwide.

ORIGINALS BY ORIGINALS - ALAYASHA
Now available the latest Originals by Originals collection from adidas by Alyasha Owerka-Moore of Fiberops, inspired by Americana and vintage culture. “Alyasha celebrates the special twist on Americana with an Originals flavor that comes across classic looks. Heavy cotton and genuine materials play a big role together with vintage details and remarkable graphics.
Footwear highlight Jivebomber represents a combination of an Oxford-style silhouette and sneaker outsole. “I hope that my contribution does justice to the Originals by Originals project as a whole. The inspiration came from classic 1940’s and 50’s styles, with what I hope will be recognized as a somewhat contemporary twist. Easy to wear for the discerning cad.” In the end, it is the sum of the various designer contributions that defines Originals by Originals and makes it exceptional.” The collection consists of jackets, tops, as well as some very interesting footwear.

ORIGINALS BY ORIGINALS - KAZUKI
Now available the capsule collection from Kazuki of Fragment Design as part of the Originals by Originals releases for 2009. Completely different from both the Alyasha and the Jeremy Scott collections, the Japanese designer concentrated on adding technical features and materials to the apparel and the footwear, which overall keeps a very subtle and understated look. Exactly what we would have expected from this Jedi Master. Kazuki successfully brings highly technical and modern influences to a stylized, very wearable streetwear collection. The styles incorporate elements such as waterproof zippers, bonding and taping seamlessly into the design.
Footwear highlights call out the KBall Basketball silhouettes that come in exclusive materials. “The styling of my collection suits me and hopefully the audience that my designs appeal to. I would really like to thank all my friends for their support and inspiration but most importantly I would like to thank adidas for having the vision to give me, a freelance designer, a chance to work on a project like this,” Kazuki comments on the new partnership.”

MULBERRY ELIOT HOLDALL
Recently we've seen a growing amount of faux leather holdalls making their way onto the high-end market. It’s not a movement we endorse, as faux leather looks and feels terrible in comparison to the real thing. These Mulberry holdalls use heavy grain leather which beautifully ages with wear, leaving a bag that looks better the more you use it. It’s also the perfect size for airport hand luggage restrictions and thus makes a chic and stylish travel bag.

PAUL SMITH MILLER BROGUE
We're very big fans of Paul Smith at Exit and we love these trademark Miller brogues that have been available in various hues for several seasons now and Smith’s SS09 collection looks to carry on the tradition. Miller is Paul Smith Mainline leather gentlemen’s brogue with sky blue dip dyed washed uppers. They are crafted on a classic Oxford brogue pattern, on a slim fashion last. The soles are trimmed right to the edge of the upper to give a more casual look.
Part of the Dip-Dye range, the uppers of these shoes have been immersed in dyes and tumbled in large wooden drums to dye the upper leather, the lining and the stitching for intense colour. These brogues feature fabric window inserts on the inside lining and painted check insoles. The soles themselves are made with Blake Rapid construction and the bases have been hand painted and hammered.

RALPH LAUREN BLACK SATCHEL BRIEFCASE
I love this new look from Ralph Lauren for the gentleman who prefers the neutral shades of leather over the classic brown and tans. A refined gentlemen's briefcase, crafted for durability and style in luxurious calfskin with gleaming silver accoutrements.
It is a very sturdy expandable construction with three interior compartments and a middle compartment that is ideal for laptop storage making it perfect for my daily commute into the Exit office.

NOWHERE AT DOVER STREET MARKET
15 years ago friends and collaborators Nigo (A Bathing Ape) and Jun Takahashi (Undercover) opened a tiny shop in Harajuku Tokyo called NOWHERE. It was Undercover's first ever dedicated retail space. The space also had Nigo's picks of US vintage wear. During that first year Nigo also launched A Bathing Ape in NOWHERE.
For Spring 2009 Nowhere have created a shop-in-shop at Dover Street Market. The London store, operated by Comme des Garcons, recreated the original store front of the Nowhere store.
NOWHERE is now open for a limited period of time in the Basement of DSM selling A Bathing Ape products and exclusive products made by Nigo and Jun together under the NOWHERE name.

CHANEL SNOWBOARD
The unstoppable Chanel drops into the world of snow, releasing a snowboard as part of this years winter sport collection. The Chanel Snowboard has a high gloss piano black lacquer resin finish with a discrete Chanel monogram by the front binding. The snowboard is made of fiberglass and wood which gives it a degree of flexibility whilst maintaining rigidity at the same time.
Exit's Art Director recently rocked this look out in Whistler over Christmas and performed his first double flip 1080 degree back hop bunny jump up with a degree of fashion assurance that only Chanel could have given him.
