The Casio Timepiece family has been rolling out a series of spot-on collaborations recently and relentlessly. After a sold-out fanfare with the LEGO boys, Dee & Ricky, the label continues its good work in new releases and partnership into Fall/Winter 2010, garnering a few great names under the Casio umbrella– think ALIFE, Surfriders’ Foundation and on the girly side, HELLZ.
HELLZ’ Lana Alabanza has been a big fan of Baby-G and this collaboration brings her personal relationship with the watch back into a full circle. For their collaborative pack of two watches, Lana draws inspiration from the colorful eighties and New York City by outfitting one in black and white polka dots, and the other in yellow and black checks as a homage to the New York City Taxi Cab. The collaborative collection is set to hit stores in September, so girls, be on the look out for them!

Travelling in Africa with his grandfather, L.G.R founder Luca Gnecchi Ruscone discovered a box of sunglasses dating back to the colonial period in an old family-owned warehouse. Fascinated by the history and design of these frames, Luca took a handful back to Italy and as word of mouth quickly spread he was overwhelmed by demand for the glasses. He decided to track down the original Artisanal factory that had produced the frames and re-opened it, manufacturing small quantities of authentic, handmade sunglasses of premium quality and style – and so L.G.R was born. Featured here are several new styles from the eyewear brand, offered in various color choices and available now through oki-ni.
