Yes time does fly. Indeed four years have already passed since the Summer Olympics in Beijing, and in just a couple of months, the torch shall be lit on the grand stage of London, home to the Sex Pistols, Her Majesty, and fish pie. So it’s time for us to proudly don the glorious colours of the Union Jack, and GAP has festively jumped onto the bandwagon. To celebrate the upcoming historical event, GAP has introduced a series of tees, tank tops, hoodies, and totes (oh yeah, even sandals!) all bearing the magnificently prominent symbol. Grab these limited edition collectibles adorned in red, white and blue (the other one) at local GAP outlets in mid-May. Or you just might end up having to wait another 40 years to get them – just saying.

The Californian premium watch and accessories brand are getting high with nylon this Summer! Treat yourself with three shiny new collections – classy All Black, nautical Navy and the military-inspired Surplus. Ladies get their dose of nylon goodness too (we recommend the Navy collection – tres chic!). These wrist candies could take you from work to play, day to night, with no less than durability and effervescent style.

Available at all Billabong stores and Nixon, ION Orchard B3-13.

The effortlessly cool local fashion brand Depression is pirouetting along the line of the volatile mind with its Spring/Summer 2012 Collection – “Clouding of Consciousness”. The kitschy line takes you from clear skies to rainstorms with photographs, graphics and colour blocks on breezy cotton jerseys, fab faux leather tank tops and covetable gender-bending asymmetric pieces. After peeking at the exclusive sneak preview of the line-up before the full collection hits the racks this May, the brand is definitely upping their ante by getting their quirky on – full-on this time! The brand will also be on showcase for Blueprint 2012, and with Depression being a part of the melange, we can’t wait to see what else our burgeoning fashion scene has to offer.

Not all cycling attire are made equal, and certainly not made from the same boring mould of skintight things so often seen on the tracks. Which is why we’re loving the second drop of Fred Perry x Cycling Blank Canvas, which still bears the easy-breezy wearability replete with colour blocks and simple colourways. It also looks as good as its technical features, with rear button-down pockets to store your barang-barang and zip funnel necks to keep the darn wind out.

Presenting four emerging British musicians – One Night Only, Life in Film, The Daydream Club and Marika Hackman – Burberry (the epitome of Cool Britannia) is resurrecting genial genres from slow indie rock to acoustic folk for their Summer 2012 Eyewear collection. Four exclusive tracks were specially made and recorded in tones of black and white, all curated by Creative Head Christopher Bailey and released throughout the month of April. We saw the highly talented young talents donning on timeless aviators in the music videos, each spotting hints of the iconic Burberry check features on the inside of the temples. Available for both men and women, the deliciously languid mood of the campaign is reflected in Burberry’s colour palette for the season’s eyewear – pale gold, nickel and dark silver. We might not sound like a rockstar ourselves, but we can surely look like one now.

April is the month for all things new as the French fashion label opens its inaugural store in NYC. This spanking new space for Maisn Kitsuné will resonate a noveau-classique grace analogous of an old Parisian apartment, complete with towering steel-framed oval windows, unique custom-made furnishings and lush silk carpets. We can’t wait for to jump on it (when we’re there, that is) when it opens next month!

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how you should cook up a storm.

Local sneaker emporium Limited Edt and Hollywood-based street luxury footwear label Android Homme have tied up to produce collaborative twin designs based on the latter’s popular Propulsion Hi style, with inspiration drawn from Android’s “Reprogram” campaign imagery together with Limited Edt’s identity. The result are two pairs of neo-futuristic shoes with symbolic hieroglyphic motifs rendered from the emblems of two of Limited Edt’s most iconic stores, Chamber and Vault. All 72 numbered editions will come with a detachable metal dog tag that can be engraved and personalised.

Limited Edt Vault and Limited Edt Chamber shoes are available at their respective stores.

We reluctantly bid +J goodbye last season, and now we’re opening our arms wide for another amazing collaboration with the Japanese retail bigwig. Say hello to Jun Takahashi’s Undercover label, no doubt one of the head honchos on the streetwear scene, as they will soon be presenting their new collab with Uniqlo. Touted to be one for the family, this spanking new collection will have everything, from homewear to togs for the little ones so that y’all can all head out in style.

The Undercover x Uniqlo collection will debut in stores in March. Keep your eyes peeled for the February issue of JUICE where we have an exclusive interview with Jun Takahashi himself!

As if these socks could get any happier, here’s Terry Richardson to widen that grin on our faces (if only to match the one on his). The lensman is helming the Swedish label’s latest campaign for its Chapter #FOUR collection, which sees personalities like Sky Ferreira and Action Bronson donning those socks in a variety of creative ways. Happy Socks as a bikini top, a hair bow and a bow tie? Cute and clever!

Happy Socks are available at ACTUALLY…, 29A Seah Street.
