Really dope video interview/lookbook from Black Scale for their s/s 2012 collection. Produced by SF’s Werehaus and featuring the city’s prominent skyline and notable monuments, the video is narrarated by label founder Mega and goes in to his life philosophies etc. A bit different than most vid lookbooks and soundtracked perfectly, this is a good look all around.

Southern California label NSF are bringing the straight up wearability with their spring/summer 2012 collection. With a heavy dose of clean and casual American sportswear basics, this presentation is looking spot on. A key note about their collection and denim in particular is the fact that they have acquired Simon Miller (pictured top) as their creative director in the denim department, which is a damn good look for the line. I also really dig the ladies looks, and the beautiful ginger helps with that for sure. Read through for the rest of the lookbook.

Here is a look at a heavyweight collaboration between Mister Freedom and Sugar Cane Co. entitled Men of the Frontier, which takes inspiration from the old western days of early American cultures. “Although inspired by the early American Frontier days, we stayed away from the Hollywood clichés of the “Cowboys and Indians,” as interpreted by early movie studio costumers. Instead, freely incorporating American/Native Indian/Mexican/European elements, we milled original fabrics and designed garments that could plausibly have existed, but stay our own humble addition to today’s attires for discerning gents.” Read through for the rest of the MFSC spring/summer 2012 collection.

Oh yes its time to unleash the beast, Flying Coffin are back with their newly released spring/summer 2012 collection. Not only is this the most cohesive and put together collection to date but it got rolled out with a brand new online identity with a new look for the FC site. We here at 84/85 have been fans of the line for years now, documenting the line as it grew and we are stoked to see where its at. For ss12 the line has put together an impressive range of outerwear, tees, hoodies, crewnecks sweatshirts and hats, all with an evil twist. Read though for the rest of the lookbook.

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).
