The Alexander Olch collection of fine silk, cashmere, woolen, and cotton neckties injects something unconventional into the conventional world of luxury neckwear.  Combining old world craftsmanship with a unique modern style, each Alexander Olch necktie is originally designed and handmade with a fine slip stitch for a full knot and complete look throughout. Olch's collection of ties can be seen here. His desk , pictured here, is the subject of a feature on A Continuous Lean.

Just flipping through my record collection for some style inspiration… Amazing how the Americana-mined look of some of the classic rock bands is relevant once again… We've got some old and some new after the jump.

Fashion, art and film have never been more in sync than now. We've been finding funny, cool, innivatove short films all over the web that are affiliated with fashion brands we love. Check out a few of them here.

New York powerhouse streetwear brand Supreme has teamed up with fashion photographer Marilyn Minter to create a series of 3 limited edition skateboards, which are available starting 04.10.08... "In the late 70's after pursuing her MFA at Syracuse University, Minter moved to NYC where she taught at a Catholic boys school and became mixed up with the NY club scene. These experiences influenced her return to the Art world and in 1989 she produced her first show, which was inspired by hardcore pornography.… Like the Jeff Koons and Richard Prince decks from last year, I'm sure these will sell out in record time.

With his hands in everything, from his free paper, Philosphy Zine, his numerous collaborations with NEIGHBORHOOD and Honeyee.com, It was always difficult to keep track of what designer Tetsu “Tet” Nishiyama’s been up to with his own label, WTAPS. Starting today, it might be easier to do so as WTAPS begin to operate its own website. With basic information, design philosophy, store listing, and a brief look book for the 1st collection for 2008, titled Extreme Prejudice, all on a expansive white backdrop. Best of all, the site is available in both English and Japanese. (Freshness)

Spring is in the air, and that always makes us want to dress nautical. Apparently some people in Japan get a whiff of salt air and put on their navy blues too! The current issue of a Japanese magazine called Free & Easy takes an obsessive approach to American naval styles. The mag is totally thorough with tons of pictures and commentary. Check it out here.

Currently delighting British tailoring fetishists: Savile Row, a three-part BBC documentary that goes behind-the-curtains with London's finest tailors, from Richard Anderson to the blokes from Henry Poole. Among the highlights: watching Row vets look on in horror as Abercrombie & Fitch opens its English flagship down the street, only to come around (kind of) after A&F owner Mike Jeffries stops by Norton & Sons for a suit—wearing flip-flops, of course. Unfortunately there's no word yet on when (or if) BBC America plans to air it, but bootleg videos are floating around online. Or so we're told.

The rugged, tailored looks in the film There Will Be Blood are totally now! We were getting Obedient Sons meets Steven Alan vibes as we sat in the theater. The movie was good, too. But the costumes were totally inspiring. We've got a few looks after the jump.
