Listen closely…hear that? It’s the sound of the British pound plummeting against the U.S. dollar. Man, last time we were in London, we were straight getting raped by the exchange rate. But check the numbers'in the past two years, the dollar’s been on a steady come-up. Which means: 1) We need another U.K. holiday; and 2) now’s a good time to start copping U.K.-only brands like You Must Create.
YMC’s spring/summer collection brings the brand back to its roots'classic, clean lines that echo the look of the beat/mod generation. The Side Button Crew Neck above is a linen and cotton blend with naval-inspired buttons on the side. To get Buy It Now info and more fresh pieces from YMC’s S/S collection, see below…

We do this shit so you don’t have to, folks. The trend we’ve been seeing for fall (and throughout last week’s Spring 09 shows) is something we like to call mod-influenced rockabilly steez. Actually, we don’t call it that, but for lack of better term, the look combines a little mod, a little punk, and a little U.K. hooligan'all with a refined edge.
For one-stop shopping on this style, check out the fall collection from U.K.-based You Must Create. As always, YMC wins by blending traditional pieces with modern finishes in details and fabrics. See highlights from the YMC fall lookbook below…

With all the self-proclaimed “tastemakers” getting down with YMC, we wouldn't have been surprised if Mr. West got arrested in a pair when him and his bodyguard manager Don C. decided to become camera terrorists.
The London formed brand has been picking up steam in the sneaker-shoe market, and besides this sick patent high-top, there's also a solid Moccassin Boot we're co-signing for fall. Trap 'em down to stay ahead.
