The company has teamed up with director Matt Beauchesne at Irons Brothers Productions, on a new film called “Scratching the Surface.” This beautifully shot HD surf film documents the adventures of professional surfer Julian Wilson, along with friends and fellow professionals Dane Reynolds, Taj Burrow, Dusty Payne, Mick Fanning and others as they spend a year hitting some of the world’s most beautiful surf spots. Destinations include South Africa, Australia, Indonesia, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, California, Hawaii, France, Spain and Brazil. In other words, viewers are in for a scenic ride, that also packs a surprisingly emotional punch, as the 22-year-old Wilson experiences the trials and tests that come with growing up in the sport’s public eye, while simultaneously trying to conquer his own demons and — often surfing-unrelated — fears.

While we wish we were better surfers (we barely stayed up on our board the couple of times we’ve tried to ride a wave), we loved the pacing and cinematography of the film. The crew used everything from motor boats to helicopters to capture their shots, while incorporating shots from a so-called, non-intrusive “Phantom Camera.” The film is definitely worth checking out for the shooting quality on its own.

“Scratching the Surface” premieres next week in California. Check out the trailer below:

“Went to the gallery where they were having a little exhibition of the glittery Shoes, and had to do interviews and pics for the German newspaper and then we had to go back to the hotel and be picked up by the “2,000” people – it’s a club of twenty guys who got together and they’re going to buy 2,000 bottles of Dom Pérignon which they will put in a sealed room until the year 2,000 and then open it up and drink it and so the running joke is who will be around and who won’t…”

And so the entry continued: a nostalgic, if not endearing, ode to Dom Perignon and fine champagne and the night he wouldn’t soon forget.

Now, some 30 years later, Dom Perignon is hoping to re-capture some of that magic — as well as some of Warhol’s iconic work with culture, codes and color — through a limited-edition Warhol-inspired bottle. The creative team at Dom Pérignon commissioned the Design Laboratory at Central Saint Martin’s School of Art & Design to reinterpret its timeless bottle in homage to the artist’s iconic color games. The result is a unique collection of three bottles, each with its distinct label in bright red, blue or yellow. The bottles will be available to the public starting October 15th at a suggested retail price of $150 and can be found at fine wine purveyors nationwide.

TMSR’s song “Pink Noise” (from their recent digital-only EP “Fantasick Impossibliss”) is the official song for the clothing line, which is called Roots x Douglas Coupland. What’s more, Most Serene Republic keyboardist Ryan Lenssen teamed up with film score composer Terence Gowan to write an original soundtrack for the campaign. Both the music video and campaign teaser will be shown in Roots stores across Canada. It’s something the band says was a no-brainer in terms of exposure. But they also jumped on the chance to work with Coupland, one of their favorite authors both in terms of prose and subject matter. Both TMSR and Coupland say the collaboration is extension of the current artistic movement — a world in which art, words, music and fashion are seamlessly coming together to soundtrack our everyday lives. If an author can design a clothing line and a small Canadian indie band can score the campaign, it proves that art and fashion are truly opening up to anyone and everyone, and the possibilities like they say, are endless.

Check out The Most Serene Republic’s video for “Pink Noise,” interspersed with behind-the-scenes footage of the Roots x Douglas Coupland clothing line below:

It seemed like just yesterday that we were begging our parents to buy us a Tommy Hilfiger T-shirt to wear on the first day of school. Now it looks like we’ll be begging our girlfriend to buy us a vintage-inspired wool cardigan from the label’s new young and preppy collection, called, simply, “Tommy.”

Launching this Fall, the “Tommy” collection will be sold exclusively in Canada, in a surprising move for the global retailer. But at the “Tommy” press preview last week in Toronto, a PR rep for the company explained that the Canadian launch was an intentional move, designed to help the line better reach and appeal to its “target audience,” while maintaining its exclusivity. Still, the company brought in ELLE style director, Kate Lanphear, and New York-based menswear designer, Victor Glemaud, to help style the models at the launch party, which makes you think they haven’t completely abandoned their American influences just yet.

Check out a few looks from the new collection, after the jump.

The new collection is a reworked take on the All-American classics that Tommy Hilfiger is known for. Think washed tailored jackets and embroidered cardigans for men, and slouchy sweatshirts and preppy skirts for women. The line also includes an eclectic mix of accessories, from hand-painted brogues and motorcycle boots, to casual tote bags and an uptown clutch. And while the majority of pieces feature muted tones for fall, a few bursts of bright color show that this isn’t your dad’s wardrobe anymore. It’s a young, modern and fresh take on a brand that’s hoping to reclaim some of its former glory.

Similar to J Crew’s recent move toward Americana, “Tommy” re-introduces the Hilfiger brand to a whole new generation, while paying homage to its inspired past. It’s a definite step up for the company, both conceptually and aesthetically, and it’s sure to become a popular go-to for Canadians looking to add some strong and quirky pieces to their wardrobe.

“Tommy” will be available in Canada this fall. Prices start at $24 for knits, $79 for denim and $129-139 for men’s and women’s outerwear.

Five specialty items have been designed by participating show designers, including former J.Press creative director Mark McNairy, UK-based Ally Capellino, Corduroy-fave Jack Spade, and local labels and merchants SHARPS Barber & Shop and Bowery Lane Bicycles. Each item comes tagged with a collectible (capsule) stick pin, and will only be sold at the (capsule) show in New York this week, and online at www.capsuleshow.com and www.oaknyc.com for a limited time.

Our favorite is the Ally Capellino Denim Carry-on Bag (above). This special-edition Alphonse rucksack from the British bag designer comes in a dark-washed denim and is topped off with a leather buckle and a special Ally Capellino x (capsule) branded handle. With plenty of roomy pockets and versatile styling (we’d take it to work or to the cottage), it’s proof that the rucksack is making a comeback.

Also on our list of things to pick up: SHARPS’ handy travel set of no-fuss grooming products, which include shaving essentials, Daily Prep Moisturizing Lotion, shampoo and a full-size “Happy Me All Over Soap Bar” all packaged together in a portable gift (or travel) box (photo at left). It’s a sharp take (no pun intended) on the basic travel and grooming kit.

The (capsule) show takes place today and tomorrow at Center 548 in New York and the (capsule) Travel Mart is now open for business at www.capsuleshow.com and beginning next week atwww.oaknyc.com.
