Sylvester Ulv

Teen sensation Sylvester Ulv is one of the world’s brightest modelling talents. In fact so bright that you could think of him as the real life counterpart to Hanzel from the Zoolander-movie. And although we very rarely post editorials here on LeHype.dk, we thought we might make an exception this time around, ’cause not only is Sylvester Ulv hotter than Justin Bieber, but he’s also our compatriot!

Pet-lovin’ Opening Ceremony

New York-based Opening Ceremony has gone all in on the ponies this season! They have made several styles, including the top-selling M1 desert boot, in pony hair versions, and indeed do they make it work! The prices range from $ 340 – 355. The croc ones are of course just plain leather, but they’re still cool, and I thought they fitted with the concept of the post, so I included them… They’re $ 385. All styles are available via the OC webshop.

Great Newz – with a Z!

This post is a short one, in fact, if blog posts were intercourse, it would be what you’d refer to as a ‘quickie’. And just like a quickie, the fact that it’s short, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad, so let’s get going with the actual content of the post (’cause thus far it’s only been foreplay): Zara just opened their online store! Boom!

Lanvin x H&M!!

Okay, so we might as well do a short follow-up. Yesterday H&M created the fuss, and today they confirmed it: It is in fact Lanvin and Alber Elbaz who will collaborate with H&M with this year’s high end collabo. Awesome! Now, they better be doing some menswear as well, or I will open up a proper can o’ whupass!!!

Roberto Cavalli’s killer trousers

Can somebody please tell me where in the world I can find these Roberto Cavalli trousers? See, normally I wouldn’t touch Cavalli’s italo-disastrous designs, even if my life depended on it, but amazingly enough he got it dead on this time around. Stupid thing is, they’re not even available via his own webshop, so if any of you guys know where I could get them online, it’d be highly appreciated if you’d let me know!

Lanvin X H&M??

Rumours are circulating on the Internet right now, that H&M’s upcoming high-end collaborator will be legendary Lanvin. One of the reasons for this, is that the voice-over on the above clip sounds like Lanvin’s creative director, israeli Alber Elbaz. At least that’s according to Style.com – and they usually know their shit! No doubt to me that this would be a giant scoop for H&M, albeit I’m always somewhat sceptical towards these collaborations. ‘Cause why would Lanvin use their creative heavy arms with H&M? But hopefully this would bring some genuine style and elegance back to the streets, instead of just ‘cool’, ’cause as we all know (by now, at least) once ‘cool’, then ‘cold’… Or… What??? Anyway,  we’re intrigued – are you?

Mayday, Gayday

Okay, so I just received my new Giuliano Fujiwara cashmere/cotton-mix tee, and it has to be the gayest thing I have ever purchased! With the shiny front and the see-through back it has Ricky Martin written all over it, and I will admit that my first thought was to send it back to the retailer ASAP! Now, let me just set the record straight, before accusations start flying: I don’t mind gay people at all, but I must say that I would prefer not to be mistaken for one, ’cause it’s hard enough as it is for a fashion-sucker like myself to convince people that I’m as straight as they come. But anyway, I’m beginning to have second thoughts, ’cause I actually think that, if styled properly, it could be kinda cool after all… I’m thinking that a matte, black wool or cotton blazer would do the trick along with a pair of dark slim-fit trousers, and shiny, black chelsea boots. Something simple and classy like that, and I think I would be ready to hit the town. But still… there’s no chance in hell I’m going for cocktails or even wine in this one – it’s beer, and beer only!

SSense does it too…

Ueber-cool Canadian webshop SSense, now does it LuisaViaRoma-style.

Converse Japan Duffel Sneaker

Sometimes you just gotta be bummed out that you don’t live in Japan (well, unless you do, of course). ‘Cause every now and again stuff comes out that can only be found in the Land of the Rising Sun, like for instance this killer version of the Converse All Star. Let me first point out that I’m a huge fan of the All Star! Some fashionites would argue that they’re sellout and mundane, but to me, this is the ultimate utility-sneaker. You throw it on whenever you can’t make anything else work. But I think that both the pro- and anti-All Star crowds alike, would agree that this duffel version of the classic is pretty friggin’ awesome! Combining the sneaker with elements from the traditional duffel coat, this All Star definitely spices up the old original to an extend where you simply gotta love it! The buttoning detail in particular makes this an absolutely awesome standout to the old version. Unfortunately, as I mentioned before, it’s only due to be released in Japan, but you never know… So let’s keep our fingers crossed that Converse would realize that these babies would sell themselves anywhere in the world!!
