Friday Fashion Fix: Clast neckwear - neckwarmers, snoods & bandanas

clast_snowboard_accessories_neckwear_bandanas_snood.jpg
If you've not noticed already, I love scarves - keeping your jugular warm is the easiest way to making sure the rest of your blood is toasty, especially in sub zero snow temperatures. 

But, there's a serious lack of suitable products or accessories available to snowboarders to keep your neck in check without getting frozen (thanks cotton) or sweaty (cheers to acrylic) - until Clast was born...

Surf: Modern Collective wins X Dance film festival award & releases tees

surf_film_modern_collective_t_shirts_x_dance_award_dane_reynolds.jpg

I earmarked Modern Collective as one of the best films of 2009, and now Kai Neville's masterpiece has proved itself even more - by winning the Best Core Film award at the 10th X-Dance action sports film festival. Incredibly progressive, both in production values and action, Modern Collective beat snowboard flicks Black Winter, Stance and The B Movie to the gong.

Currently screening the film across the southern hemisphere, they've also released a super limited line of tee shirts to celebrate the release - making just fifty each. And, in true Neville style, there's a slick artsy online promo, complete with hot semi naked model, to promote them.

Thrifty Thursday: free scarf-hat knitting pattern

Strangely London feels colder than the mountains right now, (grey clouds and pollution equalling a lack of sun I reckon) so I've been under several layers, gloves, hats and scarves for months. But my cheapy gloves are knackered, and nothing matches. The solution? Make my own all-in-one thanks to this genius scarf-hat thanks to Craft's free pattern podcasts.

Runway by Billabong: Design For Humanity charity swimwear collection

runway_swimsuits_swimwear_billabong_limited_collection.jpg

After the fashion, music and surf charity spectacular that was Design For Humanity, Billabong have followed up with a limited swimwear collection to launch their first ever runway collection. 

Like the items sold from last autumn's live LA event, proceeds from the four Runway by Billabong pieces will go towards the organisation charity:water. Pretty edgy compared to Billabong's usual safer surf chic, they've incited a love or loathe reaction: see Jordan, Ashbury, Aaliyah and Kayla after the jump to make your own mind up...

Happy Australia Day! Ok, a little late maybe, but the national holiday to celebrate all things antipodean is the perfect excuse to sing the praises of the latest collection from Nollie's favourite label: Something Else - now available at Urban Outfitters.

The personal project of Insight Creative Director Natalie Wood, Something Else is still surf inspired - but absorbs fashion, art, nature and music influences to birth beautiful yet edgy, wearable threads.
