Step into Autumn with Ted Baker
Launched last week , Ted Bakers AW 16 collection features autumnal reds and floral designs perfect for Christmas and winter parties.
The key piece for the season is their Floria Flower Starbust Necklace.
Native Youth MenswearAW16 Collection.
A collective of fabrications, silhouettes and prints articulated within three chapters; Climate, Artillery and Glacier. Telling a story of blue, olive, grey and burnt orange tones interlaced amongst heavyweight textured wool mixes, abstract landscape and placement prints, chunky knits and tailored shapes.
Native Youth’s AW16 collection is inspired by nature’s force; the pattern formations left as a result and the man made materials created to guard from the elements. Expressed through granite textured shirts, moss like jersey and erosion inspired woolmixes. These inspirations carry through to the abstract landscape prints, earthy tones, gun metal hardware and exaggerated utility functions. Glacier inspired icy greys and minimal jacquards add to the clean oversized silhouettes and complete the story.
The grey genuine real suede bomber is a key piece within the collection. The signature style for the season is the overcoat, we are offering a range of fabric interest overcoats consisting of tonal plaids, boucle wool mixes and brushed wools.
AW16 brings an updated hemline to jersey and introduces a new 3 piece sub category of Shackets.
The AW16 Drop 1: Climate Collection is available online at www.native-youth.com at the beginning of August and in Native Youth retailers across UK, Europe, USA, Canada, Asia and Australia.

BELSTAFF ANNOUNCES NEW WORLD LAND SPEED RECORD ATTEMPT
BELSTAFF ANNOUNCES NEW WORLD LAND SPEED RECORD ATTEMPT
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH TRIUMPH MOTORCYCLES
• Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) World Record attempt to take place at the Bonneville Speedway, Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, 22-25 August 2016
• TT legend and multiple speed world record holder Guy Martin confirmed as rider for 2016 Triumph world record attempt
• The Triumph Rocket III Streamliner powered by two Triumph Rocket III engines, producing a staggering 1,000 bhp
Belstaff, the modern British lifestyle brand, and Triumph Motorcycles, the iconic British motorcycle brand, have confirmed they will hit the legendary salt flats of Bonneville, USA, in August 2016 to break the motorcycle world land speed record. The aim is to exceed the current record that stands at 376.363 mph, using its purpose built 1,000 bhp Triumph Infor Rocket Streamliner.
Riding the purpose-built Triumph Infor Rocket Streamliner over the measured mile will be Isle of Man TT racer and multiple speed record holder Guy Martin.
The Triumph Infor Rocket features a carbon Kevlar monocoque construction with two turbocharged Triumph Rocket III engines producing a combined 1,000 bhp at 9,000 rpm. The motorcycle is 25.5 feet long, 2 feet wide and 3 feet tall. Powered by methanol fuel, the bike is competing in the Division C (streamlined motorcycle) category.
Both Belstaff and Triumph have previous connections with land speed racing. Belstaff was founded in 1924, the year the first person used the British coastline of Pendine Sands for a world land speed record attempt. On September 25, 1924, Malcolm Campbell set a world land speed record of 146.16 mph (235.22 km/h) on this Welsh stretch of sand in his Sunbeam 350HP car Blue Bird.
Triumph has a history of breaking the land speed record, holding the title of ‘World's Fastest Motorcycle’ between 1955 to 1970*. The record-breaking Triumph Streamliners included: Devil's Arrow, Texas Cee-gar, Dudek Streamliner and Gyronaut X1, the former achieving a top speed of 245.667 mph (395.28 km/h). Today's record, held by Rocky Robinson since 2010 riding the Top Oil-Ack Attack streamliner, sits at 376.363 mph (605.697 km/h).
Guy Martin commented: “I can’t wait to take the Triumph Infor Rocket Streamliner onto the salt at Bonneville for the first time this summer. The Triumph engineers have built an amazing machine, giving us the very best chance to beat the two-wheeled land speed record in August.” Guy will be dressed in a custom-made Belstaff branded race-suit, and the engineers and team will be dressed in Belstaff.
The iconic Bonneville name was conceived following Johnny Allen’s land-speed record runs at the Salt Flats in September 1955, when he reached the record breaking speed of 193.72 mph. The first T120 Bonneville model was unveiled at the Earls Court Bike Show and went on sale in 1959.
With final testing scheduled at the Bonneville Salt Flats in early August, the record attempt will take place 22-25 August 2016.
To mark the record, Belstaff is launching a limited edition Pure Motorcycle protective jacket, named the Streamliner 400 in homage to the rocket and the number of mph to be exceeded – also the number of jackets this issue is limited to.

SSENSE | Denim ASMR videos
Now live on ssense.com:
Screen Test #4: Denim ASMR
Inspired by the videos of Andy Warhol, the SSENSE "Screen Test" series is a way to evaluate the camera-readiness of products at SSENSE.
For this season, SSENSE has invited photographer Rebecca Storm to create a series of Screen Tests inspired by the ASMR video genre. Designed to invoke the spine-tingling sensation known as "Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response" with recordings of the hushed and soothing sounds of everyday activities, these videos have attracted a worldwide social media community devoted to the sensory ecstasy of the tactile.
DENIM ASMR
Invented for labor yet worn during leisure, the paradoxical character of denim is the subject of Storm's latest Screen Test. Pieces from Valentino, Loewe, SJYP, Stella McCartney, and Facetasm explore denim's full range of textures through sound, from its rugged strength to its frayed softness.
The videos have been shot at SSENSE's headquarters in Montreal.

Summery colours at play with Glashütte Original
Azure ocean or light blue horizons, brilliant white sand or foaming surf – summer lures with an unmistakable palette of colours. Glashütte Original takes the magic of these long days and balmy nights and wraps it around wrists all over the world in the form of elegant timepieces. Whether in cream white with bicolour design or as a version in sky blue set with diamonds, the
ladies' watch collections Lady Serenade and Pavonina radiate pure joie de vivre and celebrate the most beautiful hours of the year in brilliant detail. In men's watches as well, the Seventies and Senator models, with their vibrant hues of blue, assure that summer has truly arrived. The Glashütte Original collection has many facets. The charming play of colours in the following
models make them ideal companions for the summer of 2016.
Lady Serenade
With its individual colours, decorations and materials, the classic and elegant Lady Serenade sets unmistakable accents. In 2016 the collection was complemented by a refined bicolour design combining cool and warm metallic tones. Combined with an elegant cream-white bracelet this Lady Serenade elicits even greater desire for summertime. The 36 mm diameter case of this mechanical ladies' watch is fashioned in classic stainless steel. Its glamorous bezel and crown in the finest rose gold are adorned with sparkling diamonds. The dial in fine white mother of pearl is set by hand with gilt index appliques. Rounding off the graceful composition is a cream coloured Louisiana alligator leather bracelet.
Pavonina
The unmistakable ladies' watches in the Pavonina collection celebrate self-assured femininity. The graceful models with their characteristic cushion-shaped, 31 mm case take inspiration from designs of the 1920s and carry them over into a decisively modern timepiece. Elegant bracelets as precious as jewellery and sophisticated manufactory quartz movements, as robust as they are precise, make ideal companions for any occasion. The silver-coloured, sophisticated guilloche dial is framed by an elegant and brilliant stainless steel case. Sparkling diamonds set on the dial and the moveable lugs lend this model additional sophistication and assure refined reflections of light with every movement of the wrist. The skyblue calfskin bracelet wraps itself in comfortable elegance around the female wrist and complements the design in a graceful manner.
Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date
The sporty Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date with the sophisticated manufactory Calibre 37-02 makes a striking impression with its streamlined 40 mm steel case and graceful curves. The models in this collection offer an interpretation of the 1970s feel for life, in a contemporary mode: with casually elegant design, refined mechanics and a subtle touch of vintage character.
In its blue version, too, the dial of the chronograph is artfully adorned with a sunburst decoration. The indexes are fashioned in white gold, as are the hour and minute indicators, which are inlaid with Super-LumiNova to assure perfect legibility even in the dark. The stylish timepiece is complemented by a bracelet in satin-brushed and polished stainless steel.
Senator Perpetual calendar and Senator Panorama Date Moon Phase
Since last year two deep blue versions have enriched the timeless and classic Senator collection from Glashütte Original.
The two 42 mm and 40 mm diameter models in the Senator Perpetual Calendar and Senator Panorama Date Moon Phase lines belong to the Saxon manufactory's exclusive Boutique
collection and are available only in the watchmaker's dedicated brand boutiques around the world. The galvanic midnight blue dials of the two stainless steel models are the product of an elaborate process and highly skilled hands in the firm's own dial manufactory in Pforzheim. The elegant blue hue serves as a perfect backdrop for the graceful displays of this mechanical masterpiece. They are complemented by a dark blue alligator leather bracelet with foldover clasp – particularly suitable for the magical blue hours of a warm summer evening
