We’ve recently caught hold of Club Monaco’s Spring 2 2010 collection. The color palette is very neutral and airy with various whites, greys, and khakis.

A few other coveted items are a madras pattern blazer with the matching tie, the ribbed sweaters, and a few of the light cardigans.

Designed in Japan by keen mountaineer Mitsuo, very little is known about this label. Available in just a handful of select retailers worldwide, ‘M’ is manufactured using traditional techniques in a small workshop in Japan. Natural dyed cotton is washed in the rivers by the workshop and dried under the sun on the riverbeds before being put into production; this ancient Japanese tradition is used by very few designers today. As well as their beautiful design and construction, garments have an element of purpose to them; the SS10 collection feels just right for a trek in the foothills but equally appropriate for the city too, with integrated backpacks on shirts, heavy cotton shorts and jackets forming the core of the collection. Available now at Coggles.

Creep by Hiroshi Awai’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection is a favorite here at SwipeLife. For Fall/Winter 2010, we got a chance to get up close and personal with some of the pieces when we made our way to the Capsule Show in NYC this past month. With an extremely darker vibe than the Spring collection, Creep’s direction still follows the same design principles with pieces that are unique and well crafted. The quality is outstanding upon inspection and a few things that stood out for us was the blue toggle coat and the camel colored suit. This solid collection is worth the look for the winter of 2010.
