Shades of blues, bruised and beaten ... Amsterdam's blauw salute the beatniks
The likes of Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady were on hedonistic adventures of individuality in America, ironic that their aesthetic of choice would be dominated by such an everyman uniform as denim. But such is the intrinsic beauty of the fabric that, like a blank canvas, its appropriation into their visual vocabulary was seamless…
The Amsterdam’s Blauw collection for Spring Summer 2012 is far from ‘Safety in Navy’ – it’s for the physical & intellectual wanderer who’s garments must serve a purpose, and that purpose is to serve nobody but ourselves…

Summer Nights - Fashion Looks for 2010
If you didn’t know, I am pretty keen on the fashion tip (progressive street wear). I am not Ralph Lauren himself, but I tend to do my thing from time to time. A lot of the time people would ask me “What would you wear, if you were me”. I gently tell them, “You know, something classic, but be you. If you are looking for specifics, I would have to charge you.” Then we would both laugh.
Below are some simple, but pricey looks for the 2010 summer nights, and something not too over board. The colors rock very well together and the brands are top notch ( I hand pick them). Here’s the break down; Jeans are PRPS, which are a nice classic look, if you are tired of wearing Levis and looking like you fell out of a Urban Outfitters. The shirt and the shoes are from the Japanese Brand Visvim. The sneakers are made with hard wearing canvas which are highlighted by the velvet patches.
The laptop bag is the Killer, it’s by Travelteq, and will shut any business, casual, afternoon meeting, cookout, brunch DOWN! Lastly the shades are from the famous vintage eye wear MosCot. Check them out!!…and after all the compliments you get…please tell them “I get it from IdealPatHill”. Enjoy.
