Fascinators be gone. The coolest headgear around right now comes from Piers Atkinson.

Rodnik x Peanuts for Selfridges

A couple of years back I wrote about "fashion rogues" the Rodnik Band and their wearable art pieces. Since then, they've produced a much more commercial collection for ASOS and now they're injecting their warmth and humour into this exclusive Rodnik x Peanuts collection for Selfridges.

Harding-Lane Needlepoint Caps for Opening Ceremony

For some reason the hair dye I need seems to be sold out all over London so I shelled out for a cap instead. How awesome is this??

My ace new dead smiley face needlepoint cap is by Harding-Lane for Opening Ceremony (£30) and available from the OC London pop up store on King Street, Covent Garden or from www.openingceremony.us

Vans Launch New Camden Store

Where would indie boys and girls be without their trusty Vans Authentic plimsolls? Opening a dedicated Vans store on the old Footlocker site opposite Camden Town tube station on the High Street side is a genius move by the American skate brand. The US-style shop fit - the first of its UK stores to have this edgy, raw wood and wire, artisan warehouse style interior - gives it a more urban feel well suited to the North London muso vibe.

Although the official launch was last night, the store - which sells both men's and women's apparel, skateboards, longboards, accessories, luggage, some great snapbacks and, of course, shoes - has been open for two weeks now and the super helpful staff tell me they've been run off their feet every single day with a mixture of tourists and Londoners.

Possibly the best news from last night's launch was that the super hot, long awaited Vans' Waffle Sole iPhone Covers which started off as a promo item then went cult, selling for crazy$£ on eBay, will finally be getting a general release this August.

This new Camden store has a similar feel, interior-wise, to the Vans x DQM General Store in New York (although it's far less mainstream on the product front), so I'm hoping it's a step towards bringing this kind of upmarket, skate inspired street fashion boutique to the UK.

BOY London 2012 Collection Selling Fast At Selfridges

OK so after Rihanna worked a straight up original 80s BOY look on the Jonathan Ross Show the other week, everyone knows that BOY London is back. The underground fashion label which was founded in 1977 became famous for its iconic logo print designs worn by every top popstar in the early 1980s, has been enjoying a resurgence with those early-adopting East London hipster kids for over a year now thanks to vintage eBay finds and capsule collections via the likes of Urban Outfitters. Now though, the whole SS 2012 retro BOY London collection is available in the UK exclusively at Selfridges, both in store and online at www.selfridges.co.uk. Here are some of my favourite bits but check the site for the whole collection - or at least what's left as it seems to be going FAST!

Supreme Spring / Summer 2012 Collection

Too cool for school New York skate empire Supreme has launched it's new Spring Summer 2012 lookbook online.

The new collection mixes the street style and utility the label is known for, with a real 50s Americana via vibe, from classic, preppy shirts, suede bomber and varsity jackets to Hawaiian print shirts, hoodies and - best of all - Schott x Supreme custom fit leather flying jackets with tropical lining. There's plenty of retro, sports-inspired apparel too for this Olympics year, with baseball jerseys, athletics style running vests, and American football tees. The caps are out of control this season with the soft camp caps, particularly the suede versions, and the 5 panel map of the world styles doing it best for me. There's the usual discreet to in your face logo-bearing basics and the Kate Moss T-shirt that's been all over the internet for the past week too as well as some great luggage in brilliant colourways - check out the awesome orange nylon utility bag below.

Here's my selection of the best of Supreme SS12 - check out www.supremenewyork.com for the full lookbook and to shop the collection after the drop on 1st March although it'll be available in store from 23rd Feb for everywhere apart from Japan who get it on Feb 25th.
