Idiom 2008/2009 Sneak Peek

The brand, Idiom, has been a snowboarding apparel label that we have always followed here at HYPEBEAST due to its ties with the trend setter Hiroshi Fujiwara. This year, Idiom used a lot of red along with plaid patterns. To be honest, we thought this year’s collection was only so-so compared to the monotone collection from 06/07. Recently, HF posted some pictures on his blog where he is shown wearing a jacket from next year’s Idiom 08/09 collection. It looks like there will be a lot of green from the upcoming collection. Unfortunately not much information has been released but usually some Idiom retailer will release the pictures so hopefully we’ll see some of the catalog scans soon. Source: Hiroshi Fujiwara

In some ways, the FBT can be considered the face of Visvim’s footwear collection representing the brands success in creating their own reinterpretations of popular classics with an almost obsessive attention to quality and detail.

FCRB 2008 Spring/Summer Collection

FCRB 2008 Spring/Summer Collection

Throughout Hirofumi Kiyonaga’s three brands, FCRB (FC Real Bristol) is perhaps the most casual of his three offerings. The football inspired collection does well in combining a casual football culture with more refined pieces in a truly diverse collection. Aside from technical releases involving fabrics competent for active use, the collection also features items such as chinos and blazers. While it’s often difficult to combine an athletic aesthetic into a more fashionable product, FCRB in our minds have achieved a great balance. The unveiling of their S/S collection is also something innovative and fun, utilizing toy dolls and miniature versions of the products as displays with blow-up shots of the products. View the interactive display over at FCRB.
