Seems like every year there’s a new magical dessert clamoring for attention—and more often than not, it’s some horrible retro-kitsch thing. To wit: rice pudding; creampuffs; inexplicably tangy frozen yogurt. To which we say: meh.
Dessert doesn’t need to be gussied up, it just needs to be cold and sweet and make you feel like a kid. So take it back to the ice-cream man. No Big Worm, no Master P, just some good humor. In this month’s Style & Design issue of Complex we co-signed old-school ice cream (after having a hot model taste-test them for us), and now we’re getting more specific with our five favorite choices…

The BBC/Ice Cream Fall/Winter 2009 “Hunting Pattern” collection drops tomorrow at BBC stores (click here for the preview we did back in June), featuring everything from pants and Blazers to smaller accessories like wallets in this Equestrian-inspired print. Sure, your average W.A.S.P. (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) is a dickhead, but they’ve got one thing right—summer style. This Nantucket/Vineyard/Hamptons look is the only real way to get decked out during the hot months, so the fact that Pharrell’s brand is doing a modern take on the classic style has us psyched.
Go to the BBC stores and retailers this weekend if you’re feeling this stuff (here’s the full lookbook), and if you’re trying to complete the look with a few more “out there” pieces, we put together a quick W.A.S.P.-friendly buyer’s guide of some additional brands who are also running with this casual-preppy summer steez…

Last night, we hit up the BBC/Ice Cream Fall ’09 preview to see what the ever-evolving clothing label had lined up for the upcoming season. We browsed racks of all-over printed pants, sweats, and toned down button-ups, but the talk of the collection was their new “Space Hunt” range, a set of pieces that seem to be inspired by equestrian sports.
Even Pharrell made it clear that he’s feeling the horse-heavy pieces the most out of the new clothing. “I really like the hunting aspect of the collection, we did t-shirts, blazers and bags of the ‘Space Hunt’ stuff. When asked if the new prints were a risk for him and BBC, Skateboard P replied “We always take risks, but we never share with people what those risks are.” Besides the clothing grind, P told us he’s in the studio working with The Clipse, Shakira, Usher and Lupe Fiasco. Check some shots of the clothes below, then look for the Holiday ’09 Lookbook next week on BBC/ICE CREAM.COM…
