The label’s debut on 84/85, here is the first look at Markaware‘s spring/summer 2012 collection. Clean tailoring from the Japanese line is the key here, with a sort of EG-meets-Kenzo thing going on design wise. Top look especially is a banger and I’m down with the heavy check suit, click through for more.

Really dope s/s 2012 collection from one of our favourite lesser-known labels over the past few seasons, Marvy Jamoke. The Japanese line is kind of killing it on the more wild-out streetwear/high fashion tip, and brings something new to the table every season. The top two looks here are my definite winners, and while most of the lookbook is a bit too much for this guy on the day-to-day, there’s a lot of pieces that could be taken on their own for surefire radness… keep reading for the rest.

A label we’ve covered extensively in the past, SOPHNET. is back with this spring/summer ’12 lookbook, continuing the aesthetic direction we’ve seen from the Japanese brand over the past couple years. A lot here could be worn dressed up or down, either way a solid looking front-to-back run full of warmer-months goodness.. more after the jump, click images to expand.

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.

Black Scale are back with this new s/s 2012 lookbook, a slick seasonal presentation from the SF/NYC label who have been catching a lot of fame lately, most notably for their ongoing A$AP Rocky collaboration. I like where the line is headed (on some grown streetwear game), and this season’s back and yellow theme is a good look… keep reading more.

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.

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.

Vancouver’s Lifetime have just released their newest video for their Uniform Standard Collection for the fall/winter 2012 season. The video is shot in the wilds of British Columbia, which for me is very relatable as I just spent the last week driving through the Rockies from B.C. to Alberta and back. The video is directed by Brock Mitchell and features Jeremy Wallace, with narration by Gustave Many Bears and music by the Constantines. This is a beautifully shot video featuring Lifetime’s collection alongside our always impressive B.C. landscapes.

Here’s a slick short video of Harlem’s own A$AP Rocky preforming four of his well-known tracks on January 29th in Montreal. Show was opened by the dude Lunice (wish we had a clip of that), then A$AP came through and got the place going buck by the looks of it… so much good NYC rap right now, from the whole A$AP crew to Vinny Cha$e to Action Bronson to Mr. Muthaf***in’ Exquire. Ups to Lookout for doing this show, and rad to know Rocky can get across the border… Van show soon?

For their spring 2012 collection Nanamica have released this great roll top style cycling bag. I am a big fan of roll tops and this particular one really nails it for me, especially in the camo colorway. If camo isn’t your thing then there is the navy and white/cream options to choose from. As is expected from Nanamica the bags are completely technical: waterproof, windproof, and made to the highest level of standards.
