Just because by now you probably know the Sartorialist (photographer Scott Schuman). This guy is like the godfather of shooting streetfashion.
Anyway, for those who are going to be in Paris this coming weekend, The Sartorialist will be signing his book at none other than the Paris style mecca, colette. Go there Saturday and meet the man behind the site of best global street fashion at colette on September 5th.

Just because Pony is Back In The Game, as their new slogan tell us. Wow, been away for a while but now made a true comeback with their new Spring 2010 collection. Yes, it’s that same brand we just told you about, having a new pair of Pony’s.
Read the interview from Hypebeast with Kyle Pulli, and the interview of SteelCloset.
And we love their copy-cat commercial, smiling at Nike, Adidas and Reebok.
thanks to Hypebeast and SteelCloset

Just because Jonny Johansson, owner and creative director @ Acne Jeans, is named by TIME magazine as ‘the man who made Acne cool’.
Wanne get to know him a bit better? Read his Time Magazine interview or another interview here. Read and learn!
Acne Jeans is a Swedish denim manufacturer and part of the Stockholm-based design firm "Ambition to Create Novel Expressions" (ACNE).
The denim offshoot began in 1997 when ACNE designed 100 pairs of jeans to distribute among friends, family and clients of the company. Before long a public request for these raw denim jeans with red stitching appeared and the following year (1998) Acne Jeans released its first collection. Ever since Acne Jeans has released two yearly collections every spring and autumn
Check out their new shop at the ‘9 straatjes’ in Amsterdam. As Johansson says: Amsterdam is an inspirational city and to be part of that and a dialogue with the people who appreciate the most interesting architecture, design and art is so important for me
A pair of vintage jeans c.1901-1922 from the Levi Strauss & Co. archives
Just because you have to check the interview with this woman Lynn Downey , the Levi Strauss & Co. archivist and historian, because she probably got one of the most tied jobs in the world ;)
As she says: ‘A lot of these guys were like, no! And they put on their jeans, got on their motorcycles and they hit the road.’

- The “XX” – the oldest pair of 501® jeans in the world, from c1879
- 10 pairs of jeans from the 19th century
- A pair of jeans from 1938 that towed a car
- Denim jackets redesigned or decorated by Elton John, Queen Latifah, Yves St. Laurent, Elizabeth Taylor and others
- A pair of jeans that prevented a child from being burned
- Letters from Cary Grant, Henry Kissinger, Clint Eastwood, Lady Bird Johnson, and silent-movie cowboy William S. Hart
- A one-piece garment for women called “Freedom-Alls” from 1918
