Mishka Summer 09

90s NYC Throwback

Posted on June 3, 2009 11:21 am | Posted by Alex Weiland

The lookbook for Mishka NYC's Summer 09 range dropped recently and it's looking damn fresh. The range inspired by NYC Summers past and present features Dan Felton and friends and has a cruisey 'Summer in the City' vibe which was shot by photographer Marley Kate. The photos themselves are sick and look more like screenshots from a rad skate vid from the mid-nineties than they do a lookbook. That said the range is pretty impressive too and makes me long for days when dudes can actually wear shorts, damn the southern hemisphere! It's a pretty classic range that will no doubt appeal to most dudes with classic staples like button-up plaid shirts, raglan style tees and snap-back caps, proper guy-dressing done well.

Dude's wearing that metro bullshit like deep v-neck tees, distressed denim and waist coats should be sent to a compound and retrained in the ways of dressing like a proper guy, kinda like when Santa's Little Helper went to Mr Burns training camp ad had to watch that fucked-up video with tooth picks holding his eyes open to turn him into a violent killer. If I ruled the world, all guys would dress like this, stylish but not wanky and they all look like they wouldn't shed a tear if they got a stain on their polo or a scuff on their kicks. Nothing is more unappealing than a man who's too precious about his clothes. In the immortal words of Mya "I cant stand a man who thinks he looks better than me. Im lookin for a brother who likes to have fun. A fly jigga man who knows how to please, Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh" haha.

Speaking of polos though, anyone else think the polo in this range looks a LOT like the BBC number. That dog looks totally the same! How bad are those BBC jeans with the dog on the crotch by the way! Errgh. Another thing dudes should not wear. But that's another post.
