The first drop of Vanguard’s spring summer10/11 Good Morning Rucksack Wanderers collection entitled Cash Poor Life Rich is soon to be released.

Already being featured in STAB Magazine we’re predicting the favourites are going to be the Pop Eye Tee, Mummy Mark Tee and Horse Screw Tee. Our Crimpy Jeans are also back in black stonewash, which looks great paired with the black Cash Poor Life Rich singlet. Another one of our favourites is the Burn Out Tee. The hole details have been literally that, burnt… however please do NOT try this at home!

 This has without a doubt been our favourite campaign to shoot so far, with the ideology of spending summer at rooftop parties with friends behind it, whats not to love. All we need now is for things to really heat up so we can start our summer and head to the beach!

Cash Poor Life Rich can now be pre-ordered online at the Vanguard Store, with deliveries expected to be sent out in the second week of August. All pre-orders recieve FREE postage.

We always find it pretty cool when celebrities wear our clothes, and if we were a 15 year old girl ten years ago this would have been even cooler!
Backstreet boy AJ (the one on the left) recently wore our 2 Bones tee on tour.

You know you’ve made it when a backstreet boy wears your clothes, right?…

Backstreet’s back ALRIGHT!

I’m really liking this look on model Chris Rayner.  Grey tee + denim shirt + rolled up pants = super easy outfit.

You can still grab our denim shirt on our online store, but you’ll have to get in quick as there’s only a few left.

Last Week we shot our Summer lifestyle Campaign in the Byron. We piled a crew into the car and began our road trip down to stay at Lucy’s B&B in Bangalow.

After a few beers and yarns we hit the hay to get up for the early. We loaded up the old Volvo and hit the road with a plethora of weird and wonderful boards, logs, spoons and little fishes. The boys decided it was time for an impromptu car roof surf through the Bungalow tree tunnels. We got down to byron and were greeted with some clean little runners.

No time to waste it was time to grab a feed and then hit the concrete with a quiver of skaties, shoes not required. Ending a perfect day we headed out to see Tame Impala who were shredding on their new album tour.

Thanks to the crew for an epic day! We’re already on the countdown for summer!

Academy for Men and Women editors go double denim - The Style Tyrant

I went down to Sydney recently for Rosemount Australian Fashion Week. Waiting around for the shows to begin it was apparent to everyone, especially since there was so much media attention on the fact that a swarm of bloggers and subsequently their cameras were heading to the city, that the fashion pack had made a special effect to dress the part.

Sure the ladies were fabulous but what kept catching my eye were the many guys that outshone the girls. One blogger that captured some of the best of the boys is Matt Jordan from the guy’s only blog The Style Tyrant. Perhaps it’s because guys don’t care as much what other people think (or so I believe from a girls perspective) that they can wear exactly what they want to wear and deliver a look to its full potential.

While I’m on my guys are awesome rant, I’ll also send you across to Oh Jamie, a street/party/fashion photography blog by Melbourne’s Jamie Wdziekonski. Running into him down in Sydney and following his blog he’s definitely one to watch and a must to read.

Fashion may be a right of passage for women, but the guys seem to be hot on their tales. We almost forget that the most successful fashion blog is run by a man, Scott Schuman of The Satorialist. And then there’s Tommy Ton from Jak and Jil and Byron Boy who lands himself in the front row of fashion week.

Perhaps we ladies need to take a leaf out from our brothers style books and lift our game.

The resurgence of navajo prints and alpine knits was a clear trend during Fall10 Fashion Week. Don’t be afraid to mix patterns either, combine plaid, prints and denim for a warm and layered look.

Get the look with our Neo Tribal Sweater, Hood and Trackies, all  found in our online store.

The denim shirt was everywhere during the Fall 2010 Fashion Weeks. On and off the runway chambray shirts and denim coloured jackets were on display. The most popular trend was using the denim shirt as a layering piece under jackets and vests.

Check out Vanguard’s denim shirt on our Online Store. Worn either done up for more of a preppy look or undone as a jacket over one of our printed tees, you’ll be wearing this piece all through the chilly season.
