As part of Art Basel Miami, Loewe's creative director, Jonathan Anderson, has curated a group show entitled Chance Encounters to mark the opening of the brand's new store in the city's Design District. The exhibition runs until January 17th and features Anthea Hamilton, Paul Nash, Lucie Rie and Rose Wylie. Displayed in and around an 18th century granary building, which was shipped from a small town bordering Galicia and Portugal, the works create an unexpected dialogue between past and present.

Words

This season Peggs & Son have collaborated with Tricker’s to produce what seems to be the perfect winter shoe. While commando soles are commonly used by the Northampton-based shoemaker and do suit wet climes, the Dainite option employed here offers equally good traction with a lower profile. This gives the shoe a clean and simple look, while the Y-tip construction and contrast white stitching add some embellishment to a very functional piece of footwear.

Words

One thing I’ve noticed in listening to The Smiths and Morrissey over the years is that they can be pretty polarizing. There are obviously those that are blissfully unaware either way, but few music fans seem to take the work lightly – loving it or hating it, with not much room in-between. These T-shirts from Stangeways NYC would be a great way to show your allegiance to the divisively outspoken frontman.

Words

Commonly referred to as the Jeep Coat, this double-breasted Mackinaw from The Real McCoy’s is a fantastic piece of outerwear, newly released by the brand this season. First issued as military uniform in 1944, its nomenclature originates from the exceptional warmth it offered, which drew Jeep drivers to wear it as a way to keep out the cold while operating their open-topped transportation. The heavyweight coat is lined with melton wool and features a highly durable duck canvas exterior, cutting a extremely timeless figure to say the least.

The Portland-based interiors shop Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co. have recently released their seasonal gift guide – a very useful resource for anyone who might not know what they’re giving this year. There are a host of fantastic ideas for men and women at a wide range of price points, from stocking stuffers right up to furniture pieces that would be too big to wrap. I’ve selected a few things that would make my list, but with interesting items available for nearly every room in your house, these are just the tip of the iceberg.

—01. Revive x Fuct SSDD Souvenir Jacket.

Words

When considering places to track down certain high-end labels Michigan might not spring to mind, but now is probably a good time to start rethinking that. Revive is tucked away in the Detroit suburb of Birmingham and judging by their online offering – which includes the likes of Raf Simons, Undercover and Visvim – they’re doing things a whole lot better than many shops in much bigger cities.

There’s sure to be something for most, ranging from fashion-forward lines to more vintage-inspired brands. Interestingly enough, Revive has worked with Fuct SSDD to create a couple of limited edition jackets for the holiday season that draw on historical military references. One such style is an olive drab bomber jacket with special stencilling and patches, while the other is a reversible satin souvenir jacket with custom embroidery on one side and a plain reverse. Both are due to be released today at noon EST. If any of this sounds up your alley, be sure to add this outstanding shop to your browsing list to catch future new arrivals.
