French blog Guillotine has picked up another interesting find at the Bread and Butter tradeshow in Barcelona. It looks like WESC has commissioned the artist from New York Stash to do a series of collaboration items which include denim, t-shirts and hoodies. No word on when the items will be released but definitely something to look out for.
Set to drop this weekend are a wave of new releases from BBC | Ice Cream. Perfect for the seasons are some heavier duty varsity and bomber jackets as well as t-shirts, denim, hoodies and accessories. Available this Saturday, January 19th at Hong Kong’s BBC | Ice Cream.

Kennyswork is founded by graphic designer and illustrator from Hong Kong, Kenny Wong. Kenny along with Winson and William has also founded Brothersfree which had collaborated with the likes of Nikon, Pringles and Lipton. Here’s the new collaboration between Levi’s, Bearbrick and Kennyswork. Together, they have created a pair of limited edition 523 which is themed after the Copperhead diver from Brothersfree. The denim features a crazy wash which looks like ripples in water. There’s also a ton of details including a black satin logo, copper rivets and more. This pair of 523 denim will be limited to 200 pieces and will cost $8,900 NT. You won’t find these in the states as they’re probably limited to Taiwan only.
There will also be a Bearbrick with this collaboration but no news on that so far.

Last week saw the debut of an upcoming adidas Originals Denim for Female by Diesel collection. Here’s the flip side of the story with the men’s releases seen here. Branding much like the womens collection is subtle and unassuming with elements of the 3-stripes seen on the inseam and hips. An adidas Trefoil can be seen occupying a position often reserved for leather patches on the back. The adi-Thanaz is available in Dirty Medium Treated, Raw and Super Black while the adi-Viker is available in Dark Blue Treated, Dirty Medium Treated and Raw.

In the merging of fashion and athletics, Italian denim brand Diesel has launched a new campaign of denim created especially for adidas. This collaboration follows a similar storyline to the successful sport/denim partnership of Puma and Evisu. Two models are available, the adi-matic (in Super Wash and Raw) and the adi-rohary (in Dirty and Raw). The overall design embodies subtle imagery on behalf of both brands and incorporates adidas’ familiar 3-Stripes design as well as the trademark D logo from Diesel. Unfortunately, it appears as though badunkadunks need not apply.

The Levi’s Fenom line is one of those brands that you’ve probably heard of if you’re a HYPEBEAST reader. If you haven’t, the Fenom line is a Japanese exclusive line curated by no other than global trend setter Hiroshi Fujiwara. 90% of the denim by Fenom features the famous Fragment Design logo printed on the back pocket. However, this not-yet-released pair of denim samples won’t have that logo. EDC shows us on his blog that this pair of denim will have dark green stitches as well as pink selvedge lining. We’re not sure when they will be releasing but if they are, it will be only at Japan’s Tab Device.
