eLuxury soon to shut up shop - nab a shoe bargain now

I don't know if you've heard the sad news about eLuxury yet. They're due to shut up shop over the next six months or so, in order to become an online magazine concentrating on the luxury market. The LMVH-owned site has been a steadfast online shopping presence for the past eight years, so excuse us if we feel a little teary. However, the good news is the site isn't another victim of the evil recession, but is closing down the retail portion of the site because the brands sold on the site have developed their own strong online presences.

Casual Friday: Onitsuka tiger kimono trainers

If you're a fan of Onitsuka Tiger, you'll be pleased to hear that the stylish Japanese label has introduced another limited edition collection: this time, featuring a fabric printed in a traditional kimono pattern for the latest edition of its 'Mexico' shoe. I've seen this effect used in trainers before, but never so stylishly as Onitsuka has done here, and being a Japanese brand lends a degree of authenticity you won't get from other labels. I love the way the iconic gold stripe contrasts here on the black.

Rochambeau

Rochambeau is the Egyptian name of the rock-paper-scissors game. It's also now the name of the latest promising menswear label to come out of New York. Creative director Michael Venker graduated Parsons in 2007 and was the recipient of the prestigious Golden Thimble award. It was at Parsons' senior thesis show that Venker met partners Joshua Cooper and Laurence Chandler and so Rochambeau was born.

A study between the push and pull of minimal modernism and the intricate detailing of classic menswear, it's no surprise that the Spring 2009 collection was inspired by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. Kuma weaves intricate patterns into his consummately modern structures. Similarly, the details in the Rochambeau collection are an essential but not overwhelming part of what is a thoroughly modern and primarily minimal take on menswear.

Rochambeau's Fall 2009 collection will be available at Oak.
