Ah. My glasses are finally back on. After Highsnobiety shared a twit-pic-esque look at the forthcoming Lindsey Lohan cover for Playboy, it was only a matter of time for a clear shot to emerge. We now have it.

The January/February 2012 issue of your “favorite men’s lifestyle magazine” features a million dollar spread with Ms. Lohan. What exactly will be seen on the inside is still a bit in the air. For now, we tease.

As with the same of its previous models, this collaboration results in a portable music system in its true retro shape, along with playback of MP3s via a USB port or an iPod dock controlled via a LCD display. In addition, the i931x Boombox still features the classic AM/FM radio.

The Sunday Drive... 1960 Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato

Though not as famous as its younger DB5 brother, it’s even more stunning in our humble opinion. The bulging hood, the big frowning Aston grille and the spectacular wire wheels, along with the Zagato Italian touch rendered this British car stunningly curvaceous. Limited to only 20 versions, it still trades at over a cool million at auction. 0-60 times of 6 seconds and 314 horsepower made this car a force to be reckoned with in its day. We envision someone like Sir Richard Branson tooling around in one of these. Lucky bastard.

The Sunday Ride…Extravagant Van Hulsteijn Bicycles

Holland’s bicycle company Van Hulsteijn founded seven years ago as a design studio with the focus on interior design now produces this extravagant bike. When Van Hulsteijn built a prototype of this bike for personal use 2 years ago people started asking obsessively were it came from and only then Herman van Hulsteijn and his team decided to start manufacturing a line of bikes. The Vanhulsteijn Bicycle is one beautiful curvy bike built with stainless steel, a two-speed Sturmey Archer kick shift and three-speed coaster brakes. Apart from the classic Cyclone Van Hulsteijn also has several specialty designs such as the Paris, Woody and Blue Fixie — all loaded with custom touches and aesthetic niceties.

Introducing D.C. Lewis Footwear | Clayton Monkstrap

Over the past several months, two young gents, David and Logan, have been working very hard on the release of the first collection for their new footwear brand, D.C. Lewis.  I’ve been pining for a pair of single monkstraps ever since I first laid eyes on the Alfred Sargent Benson MTOs I blogged about a while back and I’m now very tempted to pull the trigger on these.  There is, however, a long lead time for some colors since these are basically MTO but the upside is that you can select the color of leather and even choose from nubuck and – get this – brown and black suede.  I’ll probably have to get a pair of suede double monks before I get sueded-out singles, but the option is certainly intriguing.  Also intriguing is that future models will have the much sought after fiddleback waist and will be priced only slightly higher than the base model, which is $425 + S/H.  Worth the marginal cost, I’m sure.  For more information on these, check out David’s and Logan’s thread on StyleForum here and be sure to check out their “Porter” model as well.  You can also email D.C. Lewis directly at dclewisfootwear@gmail.com.  So let me know what you guys think!  I think that I would like to see a less parallel strap (I like the downward angle of the Bensons, for example), but its a minor issue really and I’d have to see the shoes up close to be certain.  I am also very interested in learning more about sizing.  There wasn’t really anything conclusive in the StyleForum thread.  For those of you willing to pull the trigger right now though, head over to Austin-based designer Kent Wang’s online store here.  Cheers!

Canon EOS-1DX

On the surface, Canon’s new pro-level shooter may look virtually identical to its 1D predecessor, but don’t be fooled. As the 10th generation of Canon SLRs, the beastly Canon EOS-1DX ($6,800) is the full-frame juggernaut. Built to replace both the EOS-1Ds Mark III and EOS-1D Mark IV models, it boasts an olympian size list of specs. Let’s discuss.

Packed inside you’ll find a new 18 megapixel sensor that produces the lowest noise of any EOS camera by utilizing oversized pixels and gapless microlenses, while providing a native ISO range up to 51,200, as well as specialized high and low settings to achieve its massive ISO 50 – ISO 102,400 range, boostable to a whopping 204,800. But that’s just the beginning. The camera also sports dual DIGIC 5+ imaging processors and a dedicated DIGIC 4 just for its 252-point metering system and all new 61-point AF system. Toss in a completely redesigned on-screen interface on its 3.2-inch, 1,040,000-dot LCD, a super high speed mode to capture 14 fps at full 18-megapixel resolution (JPEG) or 12 fps (RAW), wireless LAN support for 802.11n, and 1080p video capture settings (24, 25 or 30 fps, or 720p at 50 or 60 fps) without any memory clipping limits and you’ve got yourself the new Canon king without even breaking a sweat. As for the price… well, let’s just say you might want to consider asking the bean counters to allocate seven grand in next year’s “photo budget”.

AGI & SAM S/S 2012 COLLECTION

Agape Mdumulla and Sam Cotton began the brand Agi & Sam with the fundamental thought of designing for men. After years of countless menswear collections, displaying either a fear to create something different or collections which push too far and never seeing the light of day, they aim to sit firmly in the middle. With a strong emphasis on entirely bespoke print and humor they believe fashion should never be taken too seriously.Over the last two years they have worked in London for designers such as Karl Lagerfeld, Alexander McQueen, J.W. Anderson and Carolyn Massey.
