We Are Handsome continues with their graphically inclined swimwear with a new collection called “The Romantic” for Spring/Summer 2012. Various prints such as floral and scenic have been utilized here, in addition to more animal prints. We’re not talking like cheetah or leopard patterns, but actual depictions of a puppy, snow leopard and toucan. You might be asking, “why a women’s swim wear post?” We’re just trying to prepare for a Spring/Summer state of mind, plus the photos are nice.

Today we get a first look at the collaboration between Pharrell Williams’ Billionaire Boys Club and Mark McNairy from New York. Of course McNairy was heavily inspired by vintage Americana and presents a nice capsule collection in collaboration with the streetwear brand with a few very strong signature pieces.

“The line of luxury gear was born out of a conversation Williams and McNairy had over a possible boot collaboration that turned into a full capsule collection. Even the collection’s name, Bee Line, has noble ties as Williams was inspired by Napoleon’s decision to replace fleur-de-lis with the insect as France’s royal symbol. Most categories of menswear are covered in the assortment, from outerwear to boots, and all of the gear is made in the USA save for the sweaters woven in Scottish mills.”

Take a further look at the collection after the jump.

We are sure you all now about David Choe and what went on with his shares of Facebook stock he received back in 2005 for painting the social network’s offices. In case you missed that news, it turns out his stocks are now valued at 200 million US dollars. Barbara Walters linked up with the artist to talk about the deal in this clip on Youtube (ABC is not allowing embedding, so click the link here). While hanging with the artist, Walters also took a moment to get up with a spray paint can. (Source: TheWorldsBestEver)

Although a Jordan Spizike just dropped, you might remember the “Bordeaux” pair that dropped, which happened to go over well with President Obama, we see that another one is right on that one’s coattails. This University Blue/Vivid Orange color is set to be hitting retailers later this month, February 24, to be exact. This soothing blue color sees splashes of orange and white – almost like a creamsicle.

Coming out of Berlin, Germany, we present the new collection for Autumn/Winter 2012/2013 of STAHL Corporation. Previously known as Living Mutants, designer Raphael Weinberg has decided to change the name of the brand, and will be re-introducing the line for the coming season.

That said, the things that made the brand successful in the past have not changed – STAHL still trumps with razor sharp cuts and a close eye on the details. Rather than impressing with colors and patterns, STAHL presents a mostly muted color silhouette. But at closer inspection you notice rather quickly that a lot of thought and work has gone into each detail. Hidden pockets, snap button closures, interesting seam details and other accents decorate and enhance the clothing of the young Berlin brand. The new line consists of shirting, outerwear, pants, knitwear, sweat pieces and t-shirts.

Look out for the collection to arrive at premium retailers around the globe for Fall/Winter 2012. After the jump you can check out the full collection lookbook.

The Rolex Hillary Tenzing Edition Explorer Set is one of the most exciting custom Rolex packages that we have seen in a long time. Therefore we are of course very excited to finally be able to show you the full set today.

The watches and gear honoring Hillary and Tenzing, two of the greatest mountaineering families of all times, consists of three watches – specially done 36mm, 39mm and 42mm Rolex Explorers.

“Beyond just the three watches, however, each of the 88 Hillary Tenzing Edition sets come as a complete package with spectacular various custom-made items and gear commemorating the 1953 Everest expedition, such as a unique silver mountaineering pin, a limited HTE edition of the book Everest by the late George Band and a leather bound map of the original 1953 expedition route to Everest, to name a few highlights. All packed in a beautiful, hand-crafted wooden crate like the one use in the 1953 expedition. As well, buyers of a HTE package get an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join Peter Hillary and Jamling Tenzing Norgay on a private trek to Everest Basecamp in May 2012. In May 2011, HTE number 88/88 was sold for $104,568 at Christie’s in Geneva (proceeds went entirely to the Hillary and Tenzing family foundations), but you can get your own set for about $40,000 (asking price is 28,800 EUR).”

Make sure to check out the official website for some great background information and more.

A further look at the set follows after the jump.
