Native Youth Spring Summer 2014 Collection

Launching their second Spring Summer collection Manchester born brand Native Youth are showing no signs of slowing momentum, this season bringing a chromatic colour explosion to the brand’s editorial. The collection which sees technical pieces including the windbreaker and fisherman jacket paired with colour block T-shirts and acid washed indigo jersey brings a relaxed but confident feel to the collection for SS14.

Native Youth collection is available at various UK independent and online at asos.com & urbanoutfitters.co.uk + Beams in Japan.

Video: Mr Benn for MR PORTER

Originally a book published in 1967, Mr Benn was created by Mr David McKee, the writer and illustrator behind bestselling series including Elmer the Patchwork Elephant and King Rollo. His animated, bowler-hatted adventures - which always began through a magic door in the changing room of his local costume hire shop - have entranced children and adults for decades: one reason it was voted the sixth most popular children's TV programme in a Channel 4 poll.

This Christmas, MR PORTER is delighted to present a special festive episode of Mr Benn, put together by all of the original Mr Benn team, using some of the original 40 year old artwork.

Why Mr Benn? Because Mr Benn represents many of the qualities we admire at MR PORTER: he has a smart signature style, immense charm, good manners and an extraordinary sense of adventure. And, like us, his name is always preceded by the title "Mr".

River Island Men's Spring Summer 2014 Lookbook

 The River Island mens ss14 collection looks like a flower bomb was let loose within it, imploding and filling the the pieces with vibrant colors and floral patterns. There's an infusion of animal skin with a baseball jacket aptly called 'Asap Jacket' probably inspired by ASAP ROCKY and loads of sports elements and trappings. One of my favorite bits from the collection is the re-adapted forest green camo and also the reversible technicolor bomber.

BALENCIAGA ARENA CREASED-LEATHER LOW TOP SNEAKERS

 Dealing with a lot of shoe porn today. Just after my review on the premium leather Asos Black low tops i went on Mr Porter and decided to his the 'New In' tab and i was harassed by these Balenciaga Arena's. Priced not too high for those who want to buy into the label and at the same time not too low to lose its 'designer' status, these would fork you £325.

Asos 'Black' Leather Low Top Sneakers

 I'm not the biggest fan of sneakers from non traditional footwear makers whether high end or street but these red soled goodness from Asos are making are whetting my appetite. Asos claims its 'real leather' -which frankly looks like real leather to me from the images- although just 70% of the shoes, 30% other materials used for lining and the sole make up. 

The aesthetic elements like the side zip - even though it remains only an aesthetic as it does not function- and the cuff grips add a bit of a premium feel to the sneakers. The red soles, not to be confused for Louboutins, certainly scream premium too. Loads of people might think they are a close replica of a 'certain high end' sneaker but i just think maybe a lil inspiration was pulled from there by Asos's design team. Retails for £50.

27 Year Old Canadian Nolan Funk Brings Sexy Back to Versace

 Canadian actor Nolan Funk most popular for his role in Musical comedy Glee is the face of Versace's Spring Summer 2014 campaign. Photographed by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, the campaign features the actor as the embodiment of the Versace Man: provocative, rebellious, sharp and sexy.

Honestly i was in shock when i first received this images of shirtless Mr Funk. If anything it motivated me to hit the gym harder today. Got to give Versace thumbs up for finding a star that's got that Versace vibe.
