OBSESSED: FLEET ILYA BASKETBALL CAGE

We're not sure if Rihanna is a hoops fan, but there's no doubt she'd double dribble over fine leather maker Fleet Ilya's S&M-style basketball cage. Featuring an unexpected bondage twist on the ordinary ball bag, the strappy carrier features an adjustable luxe saddle leather harness held together by Sam Browne fasterners. Overall, a slam dunk. £400.00. Available at shop.fleetilya.com and select retailers worldwide. 

STYLE: KENZO FW12

Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, the masterminds behind Opening Ceremony and the newly appointed design duo for Kenzo, bowed their first men's collection for the legendary fashion house that took viewers for a ride on the couleur wheel. Taking over the RATP train station (the hub of the Paris Metro), models paraded around the industrial space outfitted with neon archways, showing off a collection that was true to the label's prints-heavy heritage, while injecting it with pops of oranges, reds, and phosphorecent greens and blues. Slim suits, patterened sweaters, printed turtlenecks, and classic five-panel caps were all in the mix, not to mention some of the freshest sneakers (mermaid scales!) we've seen this season. Click the jump for our favorite looks. 

STYLE: COMME DES GARCONS X MATT GROENING

From wisecracking Bart Simpson to Futurama's cyclops cutie, Leela, millions have fallen in love with Matt Groening's cast of pop-eyed characters. But who knew Rei Kawakubo was among them? The Comme des Garcons designer has released a small line of collaborative tees paying tribute to Groening's influential Life in Hell series, a pre-cursor to The Simpsons that followed the misadventures of rabbit-eared Binky and his girlfriend, Sheba. Grab them before you're left saying, "D'oh!" $130-$215. Available at Tres Bien Shop, sSense, Dover Street Market, and Comme des Garcons boutiques worldwide.

NONSENSE: MARK RONSON'S GAY EMPIRE

Mark Ronson's step and repeat color splash at the New York City launch of Versace's capsule collection for H&M had us thinking he had joined The Sucklord's Gay Empire. What do you think? Is the Force with this flamingo pink suit, or has Ronson gone to the Dark Side?

OBSESSED: HOUSE OF LADOSHA

Do you give good face while rocking a fitted? Enjoy a good kiki session with your homeboys on the basketball court? Use the term "No homo" a little too defensively? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be exhibiting classic symptons of banjee boy realness. Don't beat yourself up about it, like an overgrown orangutan--celebrate your diagnosis proudly in designs from House of Ladosha. The NYC-based haute-crunk collective has released a trio of T-shirts perfect for letting your inner butch queen reign supreme. Our favorite, above, which reimagines Nirvana's iconic logo, is just begging for a cease and desist from Courtney Love and Rihanna's lawyers. In other words, it's fierce. See the rest, after the jump. RiRi :( T-shirt, $25. Available at www.houseofladosha.bigcartel.com.

STYLE: SUPREME X DAVID LYNCH

If you're general attitude towards others is "Don't you fuckin' look at me!" you'll want to steer clear of Supreme's latest capsule T-shirt collection with David Lynch. The skate company pays tribute to the quirky director of such films as Eraserhead, Mullholland Drive, Dune, and Blue Velvet, with a pair of limited-edition tees guaranteed to turn heads: The first featuring a still from Velvet; the other an original drawing by the man himself.

Available in-store in New York, Los Angeles, London, and online on October 27. Available in Japan on October 29.

OBSESSED: VISION STREET WEAR

Lately, we've seen a lot of post-college guys slinking along the streets of Manhattan on skateboards, but there's nary a kickflip, ollie, or half-cab impossible in sight. Poseur alert! If you're going to front, at least rock some vintage skate-inspired gear, like this classic white tee from Vision Street Wear.

OBSESSED: GAP x DAZED & CONFUSED

In honor of its 20th anniversary, influential British culture magazine Dazed & Confused called up a bunch of its tasteful friends--including Tracey Emin, Terence Koh, Aaron Rose, and Neal Fox--and asked them to leave their mark on 20 of its most memorable covers. The surprising results just went on display at Colette in Paris, with a 5-pack of Gap-produced t-shirts and a retrospective book published by Rizzoli soon to follow. (Above: Dazed & Confused's July 2001 cover of Michael Jackson impersonator Navi, re-imagined by Tim Noble & Sue Webster)
