So it’s definitely full-fledged Spring/Summer weather in LA (and pretty much everywhere North of the equator, right?), and I’m guessing the idea of a Summer adventure has crossed your mind. I am personally hoping to work out a haunted road trip up to Santa Barbara and maybe a mid-week stay at The Ace. Whatever you may be planning, TenOverSix is proud to sell the perfect trunks for the body of water you will be chillaxin by come June.
Shorts People swim trunks and board shorts are the perfect combination of vintage inspiration and modern humor, which is totally appropriate considering Lina Hellden and Milton Carter came up with the idea for the company whilst sippin on Jägermeister in a hot tub. The trunks in particular are for the man (or woman! We got these in small sizes too so the ladies wouldn’t miss out on the fun.) who likes to show off a bit of leg while also showcasing his impeccable taste in prints, showcasing either a pink palm trees or blue and green fishies that look as though they came straight from a sea animals poster. The board shorts are slightly more modest in length and cut, even coming in navy for those who appreciate a more classic aesthetic.
Shorts People trunks and board shorts are both $85, and currently only available in store while we update our e-commerce site. You really do have to come in and try them on to truly appreciate them, anyway.
Typographer Karel Teige first worked with dancer Milca Mayerová in 1926 to create a new alphabet design for Vitezslav Nezval’s ABECEDA, wherein the poet created rhymes based on the shapes of letters. Now we’ve acquired (thanks, of course, to our friends at Book Soup) a book of postcards that showcase the Tiege and Mayerová alphabet collaboration, as shot by Karel Paspa. Below is a reading of Nezval’s rhymes paired with the images. While an understanding of Czech is required to understand the poems, there are no language requirements to enjoy the imagery.
ALPHABET by Karel Teige, $14.50, is available in store.
We’re pretty excited about our new full-page add in Rika Magazine’s Spring Summer 2011 issue. This mag is all about awesome fashion, music and art, just like us, and it will be on sale at TenOverSix soon!
So we just got in a pair of LD Tuttle wedge sandals called “The Line,” and if you’re looking for a Pris from Blade Runner x Mr. T collab for your Spring/Summer wardrobe, this is shoe is for you.
Obviously, we’re pretty into the clear, plastic heel this season, but The Line puts our attempt at 80s-referential futurism to shame.
In addition to the slightly muddled, ridged plastic wedge that looks like the fossil of a science project gone wrong, this shoe has a mohawk. Fierce. I mean, do you see the profile on this thing? And for those of you who aren’t quite convinced (possibly because “hairy feet” isn’t the first phrase that comes to mind when thinking of a sexy Summer shoe), the nude coloring coupled with the bright red straps on each side is so Pris, it balances out the Mr. T, hairy feet masculinity, while of course maintaining the propensity for major ass kicking.
The Line Wedge by LD Tuttle, $615, available online and in stores. If you’re looking for something with a more subtle hawk, try LD Tuttle’s Helmet Sandal, also available online and in stores.
Miss Marlowe Schwartzman is gracing the store with her presence, and clearly being around all the new Spring-Summer items is tiring for an aspiring fashionista (Her green knee-high booties? To die for.).. Seriously, though. How cute is she?!
