W ith Summer just around the corner it might be a good idea to start thinking about ways to get your accessory game up to scratch and protect those precious retinas while you're at it. Ray-Ban have been around since 1937 originally providing the iconic Aviator sunglasses to the US Army Air Service to combat altitiude sickness and of course glare from the sun. From then on the Aviators and Wayfarers caught the attention of silver screen icons such as James Dean and Marilyn Monroe and in turn created and made popular one of the most recognisable frames in history. The Clubmaster has seen a wide range of variations since its birth and the newest models include classic tortoise shell frames with bursts of colour located on the rim and inside of the glasses. Adapting to new technologies while maintaining original standards can sometimes prove difficult but the collapsable Wayfarers (shown below in Havana & Crystal Brown) stay true to their OG s...

Last night saw the Arches played host to Glasgow's underground fashion scene with Nightwalk SS2012. Nightwalk is a bi annual event that showcases the cream of Glasgow's independent fashion, combining fashion from up and coming Scottish designers with electronic music, art, photography and performance. The event which not only acts as a platform for Glaswegian creatives to showcase their latest designs, artwork and overall talent. But also supports the local charity St. Margarets Hospice, meaning all the money raised goes to a good cause. This really is the place to discover Scotland's up and coming fashion designers and models as well as the best in Scotland's fashion labels such as Obscure Couture , Isolated Heroes , Dawntroversial Shoes and much much more.

This seasons apparel range from The Hundreds see's them strip down their classic Adam Bomb logo and go back to their roots with the Simple Adam range of t-shirts and hooded sweats . The logo has no frills, just a simplistic bold outline (hence Simple Adam ). Both the t-shirts and the hoody feature a large back-print too (see pictures) The Adam Bomb logo has been a staple with The Hundreds brand since its inception 8 years ago, and is easily one of the most recognisable logos in streetwear. NOT to be confused with the Nintendo character Bomberman, Adam Bomb has been part of nearly all the The Hundreds mashups including their Garfield range, Benny Gold collab and Diamond Supply Co. collab. Literally on everything though from snapbacks , tees , hoodys , shoes , keyrings snowboards - to even bikinis - can you argue theres a better current streetwear logo just now! Shop the new The Hundreds range online now ! Fraser
