MENNO VAN MEURS
I am the owner of the denim store Tenue de Nîmes and the Red Wing Shoes store in Amsterdam. In addition to that I am the publisher of the quarterly magazine/weblog Journal de Nîmes.

Today (August 26th 2010) I am wearing a pair of grey Classic Work Chukka’s Sage Mohave by RED WING with a pair of BURLINGTON socks to complete them. On top of that I am wearing my hand-numbered (rigid) TELLASON x TENUE DE NîMES jeans. It’s one of the 24 Cone Mill’s denim pairs that our friends from San Francisco made for us in May this year. I am wearing a braided leather belt with a small brass buckle by ROYAL REPUBLIQ. On my denim I wear a customized, vintage RALPH LAUREN Oxford shirt that dates back to the 80’s. Because Autumn has started early I am wearing a blue ‘Harris Tweed” jacket that is finished with a monochram-chambray pocket square by our favorite Japanese denim label MOMOTARO. I will never leave the house without a vintage timepiece. My favorite watch is a 1964 TUDOR Submariner with a special Nato strap with leather lining. Last but not least NY based LE LABO provides me my favorite perfume: Rose 31, it will make every day start with a smile.

RAYMOND CHIU
I am a studio engineer and work in retail. I run RaymondChiu.com and Bornatdusk.com. It’s august 23, 2010. I am wrapping up my studio session with Robin Thicke and we are headed for drinks. The weather in Vancouver BC is neutral today. Not too hot, not too cold.

I am wearing black LABEL UNDER CONSTRUCTION low rise trousers from ss09. They are flowy up top, but taper from the knee down. Definitely my favourite pants at the moment. On top, I am wearing a grey reversible cotton screen printed LABEL UNDER CONSTRUCTION long sleeve from ss09. I like simple footwear with precise craftsmanship and tend to be drawn to the timeless classics from CARPE DIEM. Today, I chose black calf laced derbies from fw03. I have worn the same 3 rings for the last two years– A MARGIELA spiral thumb, WERKSTATT silver hammered ring and another WERKSTATT punched wound round ring. My fragrance for this summer is CDG harissa from the red series. Perfect if you’re looking for something light, yet still noticeable by your peers. Plus, the ladies love it.

MR SEKIMACHIHATO
Quit my marketing job to become a full-time house-husband and casual blogger at http://sekimachihato.blogspot.com/
Currently living in Hong Kong and about to return to Tokyo in a few months time.

So I’m a house-husband. The rain finally stopped so after hanging out some washing I took my son for a walk outside in the sun. I wore a fine stripped gray three-quarter sleeve shirt from UNITED ARROWS, skinny fit beige pants from UNIQLO and a thin leather belt from TOMORROWLAND to keep them up. As it was hot outside I should have opted for some leather sandals but instead wore my navy leather deck shoes from I.T. My accessories today included my silver CASIO databank watch and a simple silver bracelet from the France based Japanese designer HIROKO OMARI.
My 3-months old son was wearing a cute stripped outfit from GAP Japan.

I’m wearing a bluish grey CALVIN KLEIN chambray pencil skirt with pintuck details at waist and slit side pockets, a white AKIABARA cotton shirt and a blue CALVIN KLEIN wool v-neck sweater. Variegated blue and grey SILVANA cotton/wool tights with classic and simple white REEBOK Princess leather aerobic shoes. Hand knitted fingerless gloves in grey merino wool. Long black ZARA padded jacket. As a handbag I’m using a REISENTHEL mini maxi shopper bag in sand. No jewellery. No nail polish. A basic Nokia cell phone in my pocket. Chance by CHANEL.

A cold 8˚C Friday 23th July in Santiago, Chile.

LAURA CHÁVEZ SILVERMAN
I am Laura Chávez Silverman. I am a writer, gardener, cook, nature lover and blogger at www.gluttonforlife.com. I live in Sullivan County in upstate New York.

Today, 7.23.10, is cool and rainy. It’s a casual day at home for me, and I’m baking peanut butter cookies, so the Dries, Rick Owens and Marni are in the closet. I am wearing JAMES PERSE dark grey sweatpants, a navy cotton-cashmere t-shirt by VELVET and my comfy black clogs. My accessories include my favorite TIFFANY diamond studs (a wedding gift from my amazing husband), a delicate silver chain ring by GUINEVERE RODRIGUEZ purchased at her shop in Williamsburg, and the small tattoo of the California state bear that I have on my inner left forearm. It’s a tribute to my home state and to my former husband who died in 2003.

SANNA HELENA BERGER
I run TOURIST magazine and make things in Manchester and sometimes Sweden.

From below and up I am wearing a pair of black (somewhat sun bleached) shorts in sweatshirt material, they are an akward length, one popular in the early ninties (the era of which they are a bi product) which is why I have made turn ups of the ends. On the back pocket there is a screenprinted capital R. I dont know where they are from. We dug them out of my mothers back up wardrobe, she saves everything. They have drawstring in the waist and cement splatter all over since they were used to build a wall by my fiancé helping my father where we are holidaying, in a small sea side town on the coast of sweden which I can only describe as paradise on earth. Underneath I am wearing black knickers, totally standard cotton girl next door knickers, which is what I find both comfy and sexy. On my upperbody I am wearing a grey washed out tshirt with an OHM sign from India. I bought it there (for about a pound) a few years ago when I went to the very south of india to sit on a rooftop practicing yoga for 2 weeks. On top of that I have a black cardigan which (as the label tells me) is from UNIQLO, it confused me a while ago where this cardigan actually came from, I thought maybe I bought it when I was living in Tokyo, only to remember that its from the lost and found box of a bar that I do the door for. Not a single garment is spot free. from cement splatter to chocolate rice pudding from Berlin which I had the other night in bed whilst watching the new Roman Polanski film which was pretty terrible.

Other than that I am wearing my engagement ring, which is the same ring my father gave my mother as their engagement ring, saving up all his money whilst being in the army for the white gold, which my fiancé now has filed with a small diamond from england so not only is it a heritage piece but like us part english, part swedish. My skin is plenty of shades darker from the mid day swims and I also constantly wear 5 tattoos, ranging from 2 crosses, a square, 2 pieces of writing and a triangle. And my nails are scuffed with CHANEL rouge noir.

My “Turnip Trousers” from my A/W 2009 collection: Oxford-Bags style made from beige cotton drill, high waisted with horn buttons. Teamed up with grey army braces I bought from Squadron HQ on Kentish Town High Street. A white vintage shirt with a point placket and bib, bought for £15 (haggled from £25) from Spitalfields Market. My Dad’s red polka-dot neckerchief, that he begrudgingly gave to me, tied in a jaunty fashion around my neck. Two silver arm bands, from John Lewis, on my shirt sleeves. Complimented beautifully with a pair of CHARLES JOURDAN brown-and-white correspondent shoes that a good friend of mine gave me because they were too small for him (he found them in a charity shop in the Isle of Man). As for cologne, I ALWAYS wear DIOR’s Suavage.

I’m wearing this in Soho, outside the French house on Dean Street, enjoying a bottle of French cider.

I always wear my perspex 50’s cats eye glasses from OPERA OPERA. They’re falling apart a bit now, but I’m pretty blind so I couldn’t do without them. Today I’m also wearing a high-waisted denim skirt that was ankle length, and kind of amazing like that but i chopped it to knee length – originally from BHS but bought from a charity shop in Stroud last week. A black t-shirt with white horses running across from a thrift shop in Houston, Texas. High-waisted leggings from AMERICAN APPAREL which have a huge hole in them half way down the right leg that I’ve been meaning to sew up for almost a year. Grey socks from M&S, my favourite brown sandals i bought at a charity shop in Brighton. A teddy girl style camel jacket from a charity shop in Surbiton, originally M&S, and a yellow desert backpack i bought on the same day from an army surplus near by. I can’t take it off at the moment, everyone should have a good backpack. Perfume: Coco Madamoiselle. I also always wear a small gold hoop in my left ear (my friend in Manchester has the other) and a heart shaped locket that my sister gave me for my 18th birthday – there’s room for 4 pictures, but im still looking for people with small enough heads.
