Get the Look of the Runway With a Bespoke Suit
You flip through the pages of a men's fashion magazine and you wish you could get the same look for yourself. The problem is, unless you're looking at an ad, those aren't clothes you can actually buy. Those clothes you see on runways are haute couture, which means that they are one-of-a-kind garments that will not be made again. Most runway collections are meant to give a sense of a designer's…
FAULT Favourite: Maison Fin de Saison
Up and coming London-based design duo Maison fin de Saison have given us a sneak peek into their 2011/12 season line. Featuring sharp edgy designs, their MAN GARB collection (released in February 2012) is philosophically inspired by contradictions and opposites working beautifully (and paradoxically) in harmony. Their full lookbook is available on their website by request; check it out at…
St. Vincent speaks to FAULT
“Those subwoofers are something else! My knees just gave out!” Annie Clark yelps during sound-check. A former member of The Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Stevens’ touring band, she has taken centre stage under the alias St. Vincent, with three exceptional solo records to date.
Support for the night comes from Cate Le Bon, an avant-garde singer whose weird vocal intonation produces a profound…
Brave New World
Alex Alvarez and Jospeh Bleu have created this film as a preview for their upcoming menswear editorial for Issue 9 of FAULT Magazine. Inspired by Huxley's seminal work, Brave New World features items from Phillip Lim, Boglioli, Henrik Vibskov and more.
FAR EAST MOVEMENT – NEW MIX TAPE
Far East Movement
FAULT's friends at Big Hassle where kind enough to send us a new release from FAR EAST MOVEMENT, Bump from the Trunk Vol 1. 2011 was an incredible year for the group, which saw them tour with artist Lil Wayne, LMFAO and FAULT cover girl Natalia Kills from FAll 2011/Issue 8. The foursome also had hit singles with industry heavy weights Snoop Dogg and Bruno Mars this year. The…
Nikki Lane
Over a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon (only, bacon) songstress Nikki Lane, dressed in a perfect NYC fall look—no makeup, leather jacket, ripped-up tee, fitted jeans, messy but gorgeous hair—sat across from me at a diner on the west side to talk about the hype surrounding her album, her fall tour and an interesting love of boots.
After leaving her South Carolina hometown at age 17, Lane, as…
Sanctum Soho
Sanctum Soho is one of the best kept secrets in the little black book of the discerning cosmopolitan traveller. Housed in a sumptuous - albeit low-key - conversion of twin Georgian town houses and tucked away on Warwick Street in London’s buzzing West End, this hidden gem provides comfort, style and sophistication within striking distance of some of the most desirable haunts of Soho and Mayfair.……
Mount Kimbie
The duo have received a tasty critical reception, though the implication at times is towards a mildness that is almost insubstantial. A Pitchfork article alludes to “the burp of plumbing. A big synthesizer sweep sounds like the air conditioner turning on”. An even kinder BBC review insinuates that Crooks & Lovers embodies that captivating quality of background music, likening the record to…
