Lil McNairy's

We just got an email from our favourite yank and shoe designer, Mark McNairy. You may have heard about his famous red soles, or read that he's the new designer at Woolrich Woolen Mills (after Daiki Suzuki), or about the shoes with Engineered Garments etc.

He's definitely a man with many projects going on. And now he's coming with a line of toddler shoes with the best name ever:

Lil McNairy's. Hilarious!

Check the pics below. You know where you read it first...

Daiki's last collection for WWM

Here are some pictures from the Woolrich Woolen Mills showroom in London July 2010. Marco from Woolrich presented the garments from Spring / Summer 2011 which will be Daiki Suzuki's final collection for the classic American brand. See the rest of the pictures on our Flickr page here.

The new store taking shape

The work with our new store in Stockholm together with Our Legacy is taking shape. We're aiming for an opening in late September in addition to our new web store also launching in September. The new store is located in Östermalm, in the old parts of Stockholm. The renovation is almost done, the floor is finished, the walls are painted and lighting is on the way. The interior should also arrive any day now. Here we will present a hand picked selection of garments, shoes and accessories from the brands we carry online and in the Malmö store, together with the best from Our Legacy's latest collection.

Adam Kimmel - Casino

The new Adam Kimmel collection has arrived, still in boxes in our warehouse, but will be online within the next few days. Titled Casino, the collection is inspired by casinos and gambling in general, and also Kimmel's friend, George Condo, a New York City-based artist and a huge influence for Kimmel. Condo, who reportedly likes Monte Carlo casinos and gambling, has helped Kimmel in creating some creepy clown masks for his latest look book. Other than the Kimmel collaboration, it's like Condo has gained some kind of momentum in the pop-culture world right now with works exhibited at MoMa in New York, Tate Modern in London, to Kanye West's "Power" single cover and Supreme skateboard decks.

The collection will be available on tresbienshop.net in a few days.

Nanamica: Roots of Life - Win a copy

The draw has ended! The winner is "Solnedgångaren". Congratulations!

The nice guys behind the japanese stores and label Nanamica sent us this video and book "Roots of Life", the third volume in their series "ONE OCEAN, ALL LANDS". Nanamica is also the masterminds behind North Face Purple Label and the "Roots Of Life" project is done in collaboration with the US outdoor giant. The goal of the project is to increase awareness of the shrinking Amazon rain forest. The end result was a photography book, sound track and a video depicting the beautiful nature and wildlife of the rain forest.

Nanamica is one of the new brands we're going to stock this fall that we are most keen on getting our hands on and be able to present to you. We have also nagged the guys at Nanamica about being able to stock The North Face Purple Label which is just on point in what we're looking for at Très Bien, simply the best stuff out there. But as for now, it's Japanese distribution only, argh...

We thought that it would be a great idea to give away our copy of the book, including the cd and dvd. Leave your name and email in the comments field below or comment on the post on Facebook and we will choose a lucky winner by random and then ship it out. Go for it! The draw will end July 29.

Paris Fashion Week

Paris fashion week in June means a whole week of shoowroom appointments, fashion shows and a heat that makes you want to do everything but running around in the city or sit on a subway without air conditioning. Anyhow, that's what we did and it was still good fun. Adam Kimmel showed a collection inspired by Snoop Dogg, Junya Watanabe wants you to be a sailor and Kitsuné has made a travel-collection. Band of Outsiders shirts are still very slim and Margiela was more summery than ever. Here's a few snaps of the week.

Pitti Immagine, Florence

Pitti Immagine is a huge fashion show in Florence. Could be the largest in the world, at least it feels like that when you walking between the different buildings and thouseands of clothing collections. Pitti is the first stop on our buying season for next spring and includes brands like Engineered Garments, Nigel Cabourn, Alden and Yuketen. A great few days were spent and it all was summed up with a fantastic dinner on the Tuscany countryside.
