Undercover's Goyard inspired wallets seemed to be well received this season, but there were a couple other accessories worthy of note, including this wool Trilby hat.

Undercover's Goyard inspired wallets seemed to be well received this season, but there were a couple other accessories worthy of note, including this wool Trilby hat.
—01. Fabric Mix Shorts.
With the anticipation building for the release of the latest Gyakusou collection, several shops have been posting images over the past week. Today the products are finally available, and Tres Bien have a nice range of pieces, from leggings and shorts to jackets and shoes.
—01-03. FW12 releases October 13th.
The latest Gyakusou collection will be releasing next month and we finally get to see imagery from the new offering. Unsurprisingly, there are a variety of shorts, jackets, accessories and tights that come in a beautiful palette and offer a unique take on active functional garment design.
—01. Dri-Fit UV Sweat Hood.
The latest Gyakusou collection is now available at select retailers and Nike stores. This spring is the first time they've made running shoes I've liked, while the rest of the collection is just as strong as usual. The mix of fabrics and the color palette are both particularly nice.

—02. Of the seminal one-word band, Radiohead.
The latest HUGE has hit the shelves, and it features Thom Yorke on the cover, wearing Undercover. The shoot is very beautiful, one of the nicest extended editorials of late. The mix of black and white works really well too. The rest of the magazine focuses on icons with a bit of a rebel streak in them.
—01.Running Monks.
Ryan's recent post highlighted some of the up-close-and-personal elements found in the new fall line produced by Nike and Jun Takahashi's Gyakusou International Running Association. Thanks to Honeyee there's now a broader look at the garments and shoes themselves, alongside plenty of behind the scenes imagery from the recent Running Monks campaign, and lots to read; if you read Japanese. I personally think this has been a consistently well executed and interesting collaboration, and I this third season might well be my favourite yet.

Although I'm not the greatest runner myself, I am drawn to the Gyakusou collection each season. This fall appears to be one of the best from the preview that Firmament are giving us as well. The 'Running Monks' video was also really nicely done. The use of greys, oranges and different shades of blues all mix nicely. There's a good chance I'll pick up a couple pieces this season, unfortunately not in time for my first half-marathon this weekend, which it obviously would have made me run much faster for had I been decked from head to toe in multiple layers, zip off sleeves and a couple dozen bonded hidden pockets.
—01. Available in Navy & Red.
The continued success and growth of the Gyakusou line is exciting to see, and I am looking forward to the coming fall collection. I really love the concept and execution, but I had a hard time picking a few items this spring that I actually wanted to get. This light weight jacket is my favorite outerwear piece for sure, the navy color especially looks nice.
