The first pieces from James Long's Spring 2012 collection have now arrived at LN-CC. The London- based designer brings a bold, youthful dimension to our offerings for this season, something that is particularly obvious in his sequinned pieces. Both a dress and jacket are completely covered in hundreds of brightly coloured sequins, whilst a shimmering, biker-style jacket is emblazoned across the shoulders and lapels. Elsewhere, the sequins are used to slightly subtler effect on a number of sheer, silk tops.
Damir Doma SS12 mens feature is now live in the features section... The execution of texture and subtle contrast is phenomenal in this seasons collection.

For the series ‘J_Subs’, Oliver Sieber photographed Japanese youths in the aftermath of concerts in Osaka and Tokyo. The subjects in their rock’n’roll and punk outfits perfectly exemplify Sieber’s interest in the way that youth subcultures seek out individuality and identity through a rebellion against traditional values.
We just received a new delivery of beaded skulls from Our Exquisite Corpse. Catherine Martin, founder of Our Exquisite Corpse, worked with the Huichol people of Mexico to create these beaded skulls.
