As previously mentioned, the Japanese retail behemoth has tapped the NYC collective for its Designers Invitation Project, in which emerging talents produce inexpensive capsule collections for the store. (Past participants include Alexandre Plokhov.) For its six-style line, out in March, LD produced basics like trousers, button-down shirts, polos, and over-the-knee shorts, as well as a truncated, notch-lapel two-button blazer with shirting material lining the sleeves—each available for under 80 bucks. "Think circa '68," Loden Dager's Alexander Galan says of his inspiration. "Scooter rallies at Brighton Beach, mods lounging at Parisian sidewalk cafés, sipping Pernod in the summer heat, Ace Faces on holiday, under the sun, lounging on the sands of the Riviera." For a translation, check out our exclusive slideshow.

Also: Tim Hamilton's collection for the brand is due in April. "I haven't even seen the final outcome of edits," he told us over the weekend. We'll keep you posted.
