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.

California based Penny Stock is a label that I become familiar with though their spring/summer 2011 collection, which we featured here. Now we bring you a look at their autumn 2011 lookbook, entitled The Ranch. There were two inspirations for this collection, a vintage book the designers found that has illustrated examples of every cattle brand used in California state since 1960, and secondly a vintage color-by-numbers painting of a mountain landscape. The collection itself features some great looks made up from clean, simple pieces all done in a really nice color palette made up of mostly navy, grey, burgundy, brown and green. Another great lookbook and collection from the cost conscious label, Penny Stock. Click through for the rest…

Another look at the offshoot lines from Japanese retailer/brand Journal Standard, with their ‘Vulture’ line shown here. We featured the J.S. Homestead collection a few days ago and it had a bit more of a classic outdoors vibe, this collection from Vulture takes a more modern technical approach to the outdoors thing. I’m really into the product spread and the bag collection, but it’s all good.

Here is a showing of two looks put together from Orvis’ Made in America Collection. Orvis has a great range of made in America products on their online store, not only are they still making some of their own products in the U.S.A. but they are stocking other made in America brands like Tellason denim, Rising Sun & Co., Wolverine Boots, Gitman Bros., and Taylor Supply, just to name a few. It is really nice to see a line like Orvis take it back to their roots, great looking, well made and functional products all made in America. Full breakdown of the looks after the jump and go to Orvis to check the rest of the Made in America collection…

The Hill-side has released their lookbook for the autumn/winter 2011 collection. Shot by Mikael Kennedy on a four month trip around the country, he was give the a/w collection in entirety to shoot on people and friends who he came across on his journeys. Really liking the addition of camos into the collection as well as the blanket style scarves and ties. Beautiful product beautifully shot, not much more to say, keep reading for the full lookbook…

Here is a look at the PRPS collection for the fall/winter 2011 season. I am really happy to see the progression of this label over the last few years, and the way they have remained consistent all while still adapting to trends in the market. This collection is bang on, with beautifully distressed denim and great looking outerwear and sweaters. I would wear any of these looks myself, and would love to throw a pair of ultra soft/distressed PRPS’ into my personal denim range. Keep reading for full looks…

Jun Takahashi’s Uncoverism label has just dropped this extensive lookbook for their f/w 2011 collection, utilizing two distinct silhouettes: drapy and layered up top and slim on the bottom, or trim and fitted all over. With an ultra basic color palate and virtually no pattern to speak of, this collection’s strengths come from unique cuts and strong combinations, such as the amazing selection of trousers and the numerous puffer pieces seen throughout. Definitely feeling the pieces taken on their own, or the more simply-styled looks (the urban vagabond styles might be a bit much for me), full lookbook after the jump.

One of my favourite labels in terms of styling, Japan’s Victim has just released this first look in to their f/w 2011 collection, entitled Holiday. Victim likes to release multiple lookbooks during the course of a season (a savvy strategy in the blog era), as evidenced by entry 1 in their website ‘style’ section – this, however, is a different set, with a touch simpler styling, a bit more appealing to me. The two looks above are killing it: Chucks-style kicks, simpler colors, and easy-to-wear combinations… click through for the rest of this series.
