METHOD X DENHAM -JOURNEYMAN: A Steamer Trunk for a Jeanmaker

The respect between the design team at Denham and the team at Method was mutual from the onset.  We rant on and on about "worshipping tradition while destroying convention" while Callum Robinson and Marisa Giannasi had been busy crafting their own design concept based on exactly the same creative ethos.  Honestly we didn't contribute that much to the project beyond cheering Callum and Marisa on from the sidelines as they undertook some 300+ hours of pure craft creation to realize our combined vision.  The result speaks for itself.

Burkman Bros Launches Shop-In-Shop at Welcome Stranger!

This past Sunday, March 20th from 2:00PM to 5:00PM, designers Ben and Doug Burkman of Burkman Bros made an in-store appearance at their Shop-In-Shop at Welcome Stranger  in San Francisco to celebrate the arrival of their Spring 2011 collection.

Their utilitarian take on classic American menswear achieves its distinction from a well-traveled point of view, giving their casual, but tailored collections a sense of comfort and ease.

The Shop-In-Shop reflects the spring 2011 inspiration of Sri Lankan beach landscapes and nautical fishing ports. Guests enjoyed tropical rum punch cocktails and had the opportunity to win exclusive giveaways with their purchase such as Burkman Bros friendship bracelets and bandanas.

Christian Westphal´s Spring 2011 collection

 Christian Wesphal spring summer 2011 collection is a looser, a little more colorful and a lot more casual chic than fall, but his formula for quirky cuts is basically unchanged. After all, even the most die-hard urban warrior needs a break from black once in a while.
