m.a+ Fall/Winter 2010 @ Lift
Thank god for Lift in Tokyo. They’ve taken some really great pics of the Fall/Winter 2010 collection for m.a+. If it weren’t for them, unless you go into a store that carries the line, you may never get to see what it’s all about. The designer — Maurizio Amadei — keeps thing very hush hush and rarely responds to email requests at all.
Check out the images below, where you’ll see just what you’ve been missing all along. Don’t forget to check out Lift’s site too. For more images and to buy stuff, check out Komakino’s eShop.

We’re really loving the Fall/Winter 2010 menswear collection by New York label Nicholas K.
Our favorite part? The fact that the line hits the mark at being cool, but not so edgy that only super skinny hipsters can wear it, as is evidenced by the model they chose for the shoot. He’s a man, not a 20 year old 6 foot tall 125lb boy who we usually see. Not that there’s anything wrong with those guys, but with men’s (as with women’s) it’s really hard to get an idea of what a real person would look like in a collection when all you see is gorgeous, tall, thin people wearing the line who couldn’t look lame or bad if they tried.
Nicolas K is cool, wearable, and looks good on guys who actually have flesh on their bodies. It’s really hard for guys who are athletic or muscular to look cool in most lines. Generally the cuts are so tight they end up looking silly. Not so for Nicholas K, as you’ll see in the images below.

Daily Desire | Freudian Kicks T-shirts
There’s a store in Oslo called Freudian Kicks that sells some of our favorite lines — Odeur, Chronicles of Never, Horace, Uniforms for the Dedicated, Unconitional — that you should definitely check out. Great selection.
In addition to carrying some of the coolest lines around, they also design their own tees, which we think are kinda hot, especially the Freudian Kicks x Oslo Live tee shown above left.
“Our friends at Oslo Live wanted a great festival tee and we could not disappoint them! Designers Linn Sannes Brevik and Charlotte Fische developed the idea of an instant vintage, classic tee. It’s in cotton spandex and heavily washed for the good ‘ol favorite tee feeling. The mens tee is slightly oversized and shorter on the sides.
Get yours from Freudian Kicks eShop now!
