The Seattle KVLT of Actual Pain have a new project just released today, a fashion/photo magazine entitled Dethbook. This will of course be awesome and you will want a copy, so get it quick because they only printed 500 and the way AP has blown up over the past year you can be sure they’ll sell through.

Another label we’ve been following closely for years, here are some selections from the just-released summer 2012 lookbook by 45rpm. As with recent seasons I’m feeling the women’s styles more than the men’s: too much linen and boat shoes on the guy’s side for me, but the girl’s looks are perfect examples of layering and simplicity. Love the aesthetic that 45rpm always carries in their promo, definitely connects for us with consistent themes of nature and craftsmanship… visit their site to view the entire 82-shot lookbook, and click through for more of my highlights.

Tokyo-based label NOMA t.d. here presents their s/s ’12 lookbook, a complete men’s and women’s collection in the same easy casual style they’ve been at since 2009. For the most part I prefer the women’s looks, as the guy’s looks are a bit effeminate for me… the presentation works perfectly for the girl’s pieces though, sun soaked, free flowing and timeless (click to expand images).

What to say here other than ‘damn’… Carhartt WIP is on a roll in the women’s streetwear game with their flipped men’s pieces and specific girl’s cuts, from short dresses through to oxfords and varsity jackets. We were big fans of their f/w ’11 collection and this is a great followup, from the model choices to the styling, really showcasing the breadth of the season… keep reading for my choice picks from the lookbook.

Yosuke Aizawa’s women’s label Porlar has just unveiled this f/w 12-13 collection, featuring the material and design details White Mountaineering is known for, executed pretty much perfectly in the women’s wear context. I’m not super familiar with the past seasons of the line so I can’t provide much context there, but I’m loving the super clean styling compositions of this lookbook… yet another women’s collection to keep up on, more after the jump.

The full run of a collection we previewed all the way back here, Bedwin & The Heartbreakers looks as solid as ever for s/s 2012, with a few key styles and the welcome inclusion of some fire women’s looks. Yes, it’s a s/s collection, yes there’s some hats that we can’t agree with, and yes casual tie usage isn’t really our thing, but all in all the super clean color-blocked collection is bang-on, from fits to styling to palate. About 30 looks in total, click through for more, both men’s and women’s.

Here are both the men’s and women’s collections for s/s 2012 from Japanese label Factotum. You may notice I lead this post with exclusively women’s looks… that’s because they are a lot better then the men’s. Actually, these are my favorite women’s styles for the season, save perhaps the FWK lookbook we posted a while back… although the models shown here drive it home a bit more relevantly. A few of the men’s compositions are passable, but make sure to click though for the rest of the women’s runway show, so on point.

The only women’s line that gets regular play on 84/85, here is the first look at s/s ’12 from FWK by Engineered Garments. Love the model choice for this lookbook, mirroring the direction often taken in the men’s presentations, and the collection looks great against the water/greenery backdrop.. from the plaids through to the range of blues FWK does it every time, and this would look good on you ladies 16-60… click through for more.
