Siouxsie Sioux x Supreme

Supreme is going old school punk on hipster skate kids' asses this Spring with their Siouxsie Sioux print pieces, including this classic black t-shirt. I wonder how many of them will know who she is?

Sutsu's Cheery Cloud Formation Sweatshirts

Too awesome. Make light of the weather with these super cute crew neck 'Formation' and 'Formation Sun' sweats in heather grey, black or navy organic cotton jersey with multi-coloured cloud motifs from cool skate-wear specialists, Sutsu.

At the bargain price of £37.50 and in sizes S, M, L and XL, the top two multi-coloured cloud print sweatshirts first came out for SS11 but were so popular you can now pre-order them, whilst the new Formation Sun colour ways (bottom row, pictured above) are new additions to the range. The same print is also available on t-shirts at £25 each. All available to buy online from www.sutsu.com

Vans x Supreme Cord Toe Authentics

There's another awesome collaboration from elitist urban fashion dons Supreme and all American skate brand Vans on it's way. Loving this spin on the Authentic shoe style featuring the classic monochrome checks and fresh cord toe detail. Drops at Supreme New York, LA, London and online from www.supremenewyork.com on 14th June, and available from Supreme Japan from 16th.

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.

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.
