Jake Davis Test Shots: The Impossible Cool
It was the Impossible Cool website that inspired me to start my own project called End Scene: Stylish Moments in Cinema. As Jake Davis exclaims, “it (Impossible Cool) says everything without saying anything,” and I’m sure it speaks to a lot of people who appreciate the personalities and icons the site exhibits. Black and white never looked so good, and the daily inspirations it brings allows us to only dream to be as cool as the legends in these photographs. If ever they turn The Impossible Cool into a collective picture book, I’d definitely purchase a couple for myself.

Phillip Sparks is fast becoming a SwipeLife favorite, and our favoritism has increased now with these behind the scene looks at the label’s upcoming Autumn/Winter 2010 collection.

Cold Method – Spring/Summer 2010 Lookbook
Denimaniac points us to the Cold Method label’s Spring/Summer 2010 lookbook. According to DM, Cold Method is,” inspired by vintage clothing with an irreverent twist.” We admire the label’s reference to the old classic styles found in the outerwear and in its suiting. The silhouettes are very form fitting, yet there’s an easiness to the way the pieces all come together. Patterns for some of the pieces are very subtle, and we admire the construction on some of the knits. However, we are more in tuned with the suit styles as the brand gives a diverse option for spring in day and night colors with browns and darker tones.

Milok – Spring/Summer 2010 Collection
We’re gonna give you warning that the hair on the Milok model will get a little crazy after the jump. But we’re sure that won’t stop you from looking. Moving on however, Milok presents a collection inspired by the ethnic environments of Morocco. It tells the story of an individual traveling through Morocco in search of folk religion, and self exploration of the culture. A mixture of the traditional fashions of the land is then mixed with current “street” styles to make the collection more appropriate for modern attire.
