Happy May Day (or Vappu as they call it in Finland) folks! People are still in a carnival mood and the city of Helsinki has been swarming with people with their white caps on. Lucky the weather has been rather warm this year. The party might go on for another day or two but we’re keeping our eyes open…

One of the things that caught my eye this week was the sneak preview to The Year Of… the Ox collection. The site looks interesting to say the least. And all I can say is that the designs look great as well. Will keep y’all posted on the topic and in the meanwhile you can check out theyearof.net for more about the brand and the products. You can also check some available TYO goods at our Online Store.

Clean pair of deep indigo jeans never goes out of style, but this spring it seems to be more or less about distressed denim. I am in constant pursuit of getting my denim projects to show some wear and tear but this spring major labels are bringing in worn and torn looks to everyone’s viewing pleasure. I thought this particular trend has never disappeared ever since someone thought it was cool to wear a broken pair of pants or shirt but I guess they’re making it an official trend for the SS09 season.

This is visible in True Religion’s Rainbow Billy’s pre-cut knees. However there are examples of a certain trend going a bit wrong. Just have a look at the style RnB singer Brandy is rocking. No hating, styles are personal and this particular cutting sure stands out. You be the judge on whether this is or is not cool, heh.

That’s all for now folks, but stay tuned for more updates. Prosperous weekend to y’all…
