Party Animals



Animal party at the ghost shoppe from ksubi on Vimeo.

Ksubi just posted this video of their 'Ghost Shoppe' in Sydney. In the video the shop has been taken over by a fine selection of pure white party animals. What can we say...we're suckers for gratuitous shots of rabbits humping. 

Enjoy.

Complex Times

IN SEARCH OF TRUTH from JASON LAST on Vimeo.



Canada's own Complex Geometries continue to push the boundaries in unisex fashion. Their mastery of geometric patterns evoke a classic futurism (I liken it to jedi wear). For AW10 they've added new fabrics and texture to their drapey silhouette's. Most notable is the use of Boiled Wool in their hooded Stiffler Jacket. Geometry forever!  

    

Nice Indeed

Nice Collective AW10 has arrived!

Designers Joe Haller and Ian Hannula 's AW10 collection is called "Voices" which pays tribute to the original vision and classic military styling that is synonymous with the Nice Collective aesthetic.

The highly anticipated Wings + Horns Fall 2010 has arrived!

A/W Remix

Charlotte Eskildsen, the designer of 'Designers Remix Collection', has won numerous design awards, including the first Dansk Fashion award for "best Danish Designer" in 2008.

Her vision has been described as sexy, edgy and slightly askew.

As she says it....  “My designs are for positive, sophisticated women with poise and power. Curious women with a lust for life, and a willingness to explore their own contradictions. I love to intermingle different design elements in a way that re-defines femininity. And to give women a new reason for feeling beautiful.”

This Autumn/Winter, Eskildsen's "Ever After" collection expands on her signature architectural silhouettes, strong shoulders and heavy zipper details.

Exclusively at Leo Boutique.    

Bolongaro Trevor

British Husband and wife team, Kait Bolongaro and Stuart Trevor are the original founders and designers of the cult UK label All Saints.

Their new label Bolongaro Trevor is comprised of handmade pieces, inspired by the vintage finds they have amassed over the past 20 years.

This seasons collection takes inspiration from turn of the century military and Victorian Gothic designs. 

In Calgary you will find the Men's and Ladies Bolongaro Trevor collections exclusively at Leo Boutique.      

  

welcome to The Comune

In their own words..."COMUNE was formed from the idea that there will always be

 people out there who not only embrace the rawness and imperfections of everyday life but use it to creatively push the boundaries of what’s possible in skateboarding, fashion, art and music their own way, with complete disregard of the consequences."

It's our second season with The Comune, and we love their grungy vision and innovative denim treatments.  

Love Angel Music Baby

For the ladies....

L.A.M.B A/W10 has arrived and it's "hella good" (sorry couldn't resist). Military tailoring, leather details, and strong shoulders feature prominently in this seasons collection. As do the rich fabrics, such as, washed tweeds, naughty lace and lambskin.

In Calgary L.A.M.B is exclusive to Leo!

Naked Leather

Naked & Famous has just given us a preview of their new leather range. The big news is their use of raw bridal and ostrich leather on wallets, card holders and lighter covers. As N&F love all things Japanese these are hand made by a Japanese trained leather artisan in Canada.

  

Naked indeed

WAD Magazine featured Naked & Famous in their latest issue. In the two page spread, founder Brandon Svarc gave his insight into the brand's philosophy. Including how The all Canadian made brand offers the worlds rarest Japanese denim, including those made from 100% cashmere, Kevlar infused and mind a blowing heavy 26oz Selvedge.

One Via Zero

May 7th 2010

Ksubi closed Australian Fashion week with their 10th anniversary show.

Ten years before Tsubi (as it was known then) shocked the fashion scene by releasing hundreds of rats during their first show at Australian Fashion Week. This time around they brought super stylist Brana Wolf and famous casting agent Kannon Rajah to the party. The dark and subversive show was streamed live and featured a round runway surounded by three giant screens.

For SS 10/11 (thats AW 10/11 for us in the northern hemisphere) co founders Dan Single and George Gorrow played on "gang culture" with leather caps, cut out mini dresses and tough denim vests. In true Ksubi form...the show ended with a rat shaped cake and a giant food fight.  

Check out the whole show at http://www.ksubi.com/.

     

...And The Livin's Easy

The second delivery of Wings + Horns has dropped!

Most notable are the Chambray Shorts and Gingham Collared Polo's.

Back to the Future

Gitman Bros. is an American heritage brand founded in 1948. Located in Pennsylvania, Gitman is one of the last remaining fine shirt makers in the USA. With the Gitman Vintage label they have reintroduced their favorite fabrics and design details from the past. In fact for SS10, they have referenced their own 1984 collection, with button down collars, box pleats and colorful plaids.    

Effortless Dressing

Since 1997, Velour has created their signature "feelgood preppy" style, by reinventing classic cuts in fresh fabrics and colours. For the men this spring/summer, we focused on their oxfords, checks, chinos and denim shorts.  Also we are introducing the women's collection, with effortless dresses in washed cotton and chambray.
