Spyker Cars - "For The Tenacious No Road Is Impassable"

Spyker Cars is one of those car builders with a rich history that still has a huge influence on every road car that leaves their factory in Zeewolde. Their experience gained in racing and a merger with the Dutch Aircraft Factory back in 1914 clearly left its mark. Everything from the tiniest design factors in the interior, the aerodynamics and the Spyker logo are inspired by these historical happenings. What I like most about car builders like these is that they place much value on creating that special customer experience. Hand-crafted work by the best craftsmen and that sense of heritage surrounding Spyker Cars are just a few features they're known for, but their so-called Spycam™ is killing me. With this future owners are able to keep track on the assembly process of their car by means of a Spycam™ webcam-system, day and night.. This extra service surely must have caused a few Spyker-owners a lack of sleep while waiting on their cars but it definitely adds value to the whole experience in my opinion. More pictures below.

Deadjeans: Reincarnate Your Old Jeans

Smartphones seem to be a necessity nowadays and people carry them around wherever they go, everyone has one.. Some of them come with cases right out-of-the-box, but with the after-market for these cases getting bigger and bigger everyone is offered a chance to choose his or her way of protection. Deadjeans is one of many initiatives who offers just that but I really like their concept and the look of their product. All they need you to do is remove the back pockets of a pair of jeans, label them to decide what will be the back and front of the case and send them to Deadjeans. The cases are available for the iPhone 3G(S), the iPhone 4 and the Blackberry 9700 (and every other smarthphone with the same size). More pictures and an instruction video below.

Gentlemen of Bacongo

Dandies and pure sartorialists are people often associated with and resided in cities like Paris, London or Milan. Italian photographer Daniele Tamagni gives us the Congolese view on something similar with his book 'Gentleman of Bacongo'. The Sapeurs or Society for the Advancement of People and Elegance are a inspirational group of men mainly from the district of Brazzaville in Congo who have turned fashion into a religion. Inspired by their former French and Belgian colonists they generate a huge contrast between themselves and the poverty that still taunts their war torn homeland. The inspirational part of it all is that every Sapeur tries to live life to the fullest, in that they all want to fulfil their dream of travelling abroad one day to return to Congo as lords of elegance. A nice quote from the publisher describes their state-of-mind as follows:

“There is no bloodshed here, here your clothes do all the fighting for you otherwise you are not fit to be called a sapeur.”

Style Icon: The Rosewood Movement

For some time now Kanye West is surrounded by his entourage (in the likes of Virgil Abloh, Don C and Jalil Peraza-Williams) portraying their all new fashion statement called The Rosewood Movement. Their fashion initiative goes further than just rocking the finest designer suits by behaving as true gentlemen at all times. In fact, this Rosewood mentality showcases model-citizen behaviour like pulling chairs out for your lady, avoiding cursing in public and taking care of your kids. Although their suits combined with the requirements of the movement may come across as too formal and hard to keep up on a daily basis, I think it’s nice way to present yourself to the world. More pictures of their dress code below.
