Burton
Latest Collections
Fall of 2008 will be the debut of the new line for women that is referred to internally at Burton as, Burton Streetwear. This new line was designed by in-house ladies designer, Linda Lovemade. Linda is no stranger to building from the ground up as she designed and launched the first women’s Obey line back in 2003 and then moved on to play an instrumental role in launching Luxirie by LRG.
The inspiration behind the new women’s line is drawn from Burton’s hi-tech features like hidden pockets and detachable/reversible amenities found in their outerwear, but applying them so that they are entirely functional in addition to being fashionable. The Burton Streetwear line makes use of all types of premium fabrics such as genuine leather, technical nylons, and luxurious cashmere. Those materials are then utilized to create some very fashion forward looking silhouettes that give the female consumer a solid line to turn to this fall.
Artist Mark Ward was chosen to participate in Burton’s ongoing Artist Series. The t-shirt created by one of England’s brightest graphic designer talents have been revealed in frequent fashion as of late with projects including Nike, Stussy and Medicom among others. His t-shirt is available now only at Burton flagship stores around the world.

Back in late 2006, The Brown Buffalo started working with some new ideas on paper. Uninspired by the current status of pack and luggage design in the snow market, The Brown Buffalo worked with Burton to design CityLine. The idea was to build upon a daybag line that was specific to the end use while taking a step away from the traditional aesthetics of the snow pack design. After a number of concepts, round-tables and work within the collective process, The Brown Buffalo narrowed it down to a group of bags that reflected the brand. Here are some of the images of those styles for Spring 2008. Check out more pictures at www.thebrownbuffalo.com.
Since Burton’s inception, it has gone on to be among the defining leaders in its arena. Whether it comes down to apparel, hardware or accessories, Burton has always been committed to offering the best products. Their updated selection of various bags has started hitting retailers. Bags come in a variety of prints over different bag sizes and functions. Available now at mischief.

Honeyee has recently published a new picture article called Still Life 2008 where Hiroshi Fujiwara and friends head off to the mountains to shed some powder. Irrelevant as it might seem, the article actually gives us a preview of what might be coming out from Burton’s [ak] line for Fall/Winter 2008. A lot of bright and solid colors are used for the upcoming collection including bright blues and pinks. Other than the clothes, the snowboarding pictures are not too shabby as well so if you want to check it out, click here.
Luggage maker, Head Porter, and Snowboard Giant, Burton, has teamed up on a new “Excursion” line.

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.

Some of the locations include New Zealand and Chile. Ordering the book and more information can be found here.
