THE COOL OF 2011

This be mine... Russian-born artist and designer SSUR© (real name Ruslan Karablin) is based in New York, where his work - despite him having received no formal training - has been well respected in the city's art and design scenes since he first began to make waves there in the late 1980s. He cites, "Responsibility, respect, tolerance, justice and peace" as his recurring creative themes and drew further topical inspiration from, "Politics and protest, current events and camouflage patterns," when realizing his concept for Swatch.

DON C (Getting Out Our Dreams & Pastelle) Chicago born designer and blogger with this custom Mitchell and Ness snake skin snapback as warn by Mr West ... DOPE

If a mountaineer was to sex a leopard (hypothetically) I think they would have given birth to this crazy NORTH FACE SUPREME jacket, love it or hate it, I think this is a super cool collabo. One massive problem for me though is the RRP $600, that's quite a lot of money considering it's not timeless. As worn by DRAKE

: ONLY NY, as modelled by BUBBLE. Something just screams cool with ONLY. I found the brand early last year and they have been dropping some pretty cool stuff ever since. PHOTO BY TRADEMARK

It was good to see a CARHARTT APC collabo. It's always interesting to see any french design team link up with the US and this collection didn't let me down. Understated, cool, classic and designed with incredible detail for those who know where to look.

Leopard print has been massive this last year, but mostly for women... I wanted in!! This is me on stage rocking the ADIDAS JEREMY SCOTT hook up SSSIIIIIIICCCKKK

The vintage NIKE blazers have been stuck to my feet this year. They're so comfy... but suede in the British winter what was I thinking?... Idiot. PHOTO BY TRADEMARK

Paul, thumbs up this season, with his jeans collection. Staying closely on trend with chino's and denim shirt/jackets, but a real slap of colour which was so refreshing from the dull greys and blues. Nice one Paul! snaps off

Over-sized POLO RALPH LAUREN custom fit shirts have been my wallets down fall this year, I just could not get enough of them. Wash well, wear well.

Back packs came back a in a big way! God bless EAST PAK for bringing affordable leather packs out, I love BAG N NOUN, but I don't have the money ... as much as, I wish I did.
