One of collective favourites Dana Lee was recently in the studio working on the lookbook for her fall 2012 collection with photographer Jody Rogac. These two work seamlessly together, at this point I couldn’t really picture a Dana Lee collection not shot by Rogac. Here is a little preview of the lookbook, all shot on polaroid. Looking forward to seeing the rest, sure to come in the very near future.

Nepenthes have just released this editorial for the s/s ’12 season entitled Finding Hope In Teenagers, featuring pieces from Needles, EG, South2 West8, etc. As to be expected the styling is really well done, the photos as well… thx to Inventory for the heads up.

We previously gave you a small teaser of the Norse Projects spring/summer 2012 collection, here is a look at the entire lookbook, both studio and outakes. The line was shot by Alana Paterson and styled by Mila Franovich (you will be hearing those two names a lot in 2012). I dig the styling and the locations for the shoot, especially the outdoor track. As far as the collection goes some solid looks seen, with clean and classic designs and nice fits. I need to get my hands on some Norse Projects pieces, one of my favorite lines and I don’t have one piece from them. Full shoot after the break.

Hailing from the true Westcoast, Vancouver Island-based Sitka have just released this lookbook for a new venture from the line, the Crown collection. With the Crown collection Sitka is looking to branch off from their main line and bring a more premium collection to the market. This capsule collection is small but features some nice pieces for both guys and girls as well as a few notable collaborations, one being a really nice Cowichan style sweater from Vancouver’s Granted. The collection is mostly made up of pieces done in a wool/cotton blended fabric which is durable and warm while still remaining soft and comfortable. The lookbook was shot at a derelect castle located at the top of a perfect westcoast vantage point. Above is the b+w polaroid shots from the lookbook and click through for the color shots.

Really intriguing lookbook from Japan’s Trove for s/s ’12. I’m a huge fan of the pieces take individually (which you can check on their site), but the washed out feminine feel to this shoot caught me a bit off guard… not a style we’ve posted in a while, but perhaps that’s why I like it so much… artistic but not too much so. The treatment of the photos is especially good, and combined with the collection this is definitely a top spring/summer line. More of the lookbook after the jump, click images for full size.

Poler have been making some big waves in the market over the last little while. They have their formula down, unique quality products and a solid team to back them. They also have some great ideas for their website, with one of them being the Adventure series, which features Poler goods doing what they do best, getting out there. Here is a look at the Poler Adventure #005 entitled Cypress Bowl Cabin Hideaway, shot by my friend Alana Paterson and styled by Mila Franovic. A few of my favorite shots featured above and check here to see the rest of the shoot.

We are pleased to give you the first full look at the 4 Horsemen Supplies x Viberg Hiker Boot. This is the third collaboration between the two Victoria-based companies, with the Service Boot and Saddle Oxford being the previous two. This time around they decided to flip the script on the classic Viberg Hiker by using the 2030 last (same one as the 4HS x Viberg Service Boot), which is a touch slimmer than the traditional Hiker last. They removed the Thinsulate liner, used an unconstructed toe with a reverse Peanut color bullhide upper slammed on a Vibram 2021 sole in sand color with the classic red hiker lace, with an extra set of leather laces as well. The boot was designed as an around-town hiker with a slimmed down profile and more lighter weight and feel than the traditional style. We are always happy to work with these two companies, and even happier with the outcome of their efforts, beautiful looking, hand-made boots designed and made in our backyard. Look for these to drop towards the end of this week and contact Four Horsemen direct for more info on details and release dates.*
