Words

Playing with proportion and a healthy dose of blues, the Spring-Summer '14 collection from Naissance provides a balance between casual daily pieces and more unique, whimsical styles. The muted palette is what we've come to expect from the brand, but the cropped pants, knitwear and accessories keep it interesting overall.

—01. Made in Canada.

Words

The Champion by Todd Snyder collection has produced some nice vintage-inspired pieces over the last couple of seasons and also helped to further the legacy of one of the most well respected sportswear makers. This is my favourite of all of their sweatshirts influenced by gym wear of the past, and it might be just the right short-sleeved option I've been searching high and low for.

—01. Dweller LS Crew.
—02. Doctor Long Shirt.

Nonnative had a strong fall collection, and it looks like they're continuing the momentum this spring. These are two of the more casual pieces, but the soft navy cottons and comfortable silhouettes make them rather appealing.

Paul McCobb Fiberglass Chairs

—01. Designed for St. John Seating Co., NY.

Words

Affectionately referred to as the 'Origami Chair' because of its folded appearance, this design by Paul McCobb is my favourite of the many mid-century fiberglass options. The Charles and Ray Eames 'Shell Chair' might be more recognizable but it's become quite ubiquitous, with knock-offs and copies running rampant. The faceted angles of McCobb's design, however, really stand out and it is a rare gem that proves much more elusive.

orSlow x Fennica Kenneth Jacket

Image

—01. Made in Japan.

Words

orSlow and Fennica's collaborations have been catching my eye over and over again for a few seasons now. This jacket is a pretty faithful reproduction of a 20th century chore coat, but the fit is more modern and ultimately more wearable. The rich indigo blue colouring and pink bar tack reinforcements add some interest, as well as the fabric, which is destined to be as good as all of orSlow's other products.
