The Bear Trap, by This Charming Man
Tiny bears have menaced many civilisations throughout history. More than a few have known the terror of tiny claws; the squeeze of tiny jaws; the more obtuse aggression of the Care Bear who doesn't care anymore; the deeply hidden menace of the clan they call "The Marmalade Family".
Despite years of work by an international network of tiny security specialists, it took one man to answer the call.
Who Am Eye
Who Am Eye is a brethren of indie boys making clothing for other indie boys. They may lack a question mark and consistently misspell a common, one-letter word, but since when should spellcheck stand in the way of the tight panted? They’re probably just being post-modern anyway.
The designers are with Dolly Parton on the 9 – 5 front.
Gram shoes
Over the obsession surrounding sneakers, Swedish duo Alexis and Anna of Gram have designed a range that are less in your face and more on your foot.
The Swedes know how to minimise with style and Gram shoes are no exception. The designers have taken upmarket country influences like hunting traditions from aristocratic Britain and paired them with a streamlined shape made for the city.
This Charming Man Jewellery
Created by Melbourne and NYC based jeweller Edward Janssen, This Charming Man lets you wear your food without ridicule. From whole sandwiches and bagels to single slices of cheese, you can create your own gourmet bling in both sterling silver and 9ct gold.
With seven years experience in both jewellery-design and instruction, each piece is hand-made and hand-finished with love by Ed and encourages a DIY attitude that tastes so much better than the Subway-type homogenisation of some other jewellers.
Cheap Monday jeans
Denim, it seems, isn’t just a material. It’s a social classifier, a status symbol, a sex invite, a controversy and sometimes, a stigma.
It’s denim as much as music taste that separates the indie kids from the hip-hop crowd. It’s denim, not guns, that gave cowboys whip-cracking-cred, and denim (a’la stone wash) that made the '80s cool again (well, sort of).
Sharps, barber and shop
Remember that buff bloke from the Gillette ads? With the chiselled jaw, muscular physique and smouldering gaze? He was literally the ‘best a man can get’. Unfortunately most men couldn’t get there and were stuck with shaving rash instead.
Luckily new barber-brand Sharps have left no room for second-rate rash, using young talent ‘Billy the goat’ as company face.
