More spectacular video from Michael Clarke.

For their Fall Collection Jiberish (jiberish.com) decided to venture outside of their traditional lookbook and create a video to showcase a few pieces through film.

I am a former Jiberish athlete who now does freelance video work out of NYC. Jiberish asked me to create a short that captures the vibe and style of some of their good friends wearing their favorite Fall 2011 pieces on a classic autumn day in Denver.

It was really, really bad. I had high expectations of Kanye because he always looks so pulled-together and seems to be a genuine fan of fashion. I think he would have done better with a men’s line possibly. His women’s line was trashy and expensive at the same time, boobies were hanging out all over, and he managed to make even the smallest model look like she has a weight problem. No woman would want to wear any of these looks, ever. I’m not really sure what he was doing here, but hopefully he never does it again. He should probably stick to music and designing his own outfits.I have included some of my least favorite looks.

So, remember that episode from Season Three of the MTV show Rob & Big? Well, it inspired us to write a post about stylish big mens clothes. You can see from the clip below, that if you’re a big dude? You’re probably going to have a hassle with some things in life. Of course, these clothes wouldn’t necessarily be a perfect fit for Christopher “Big Black” Boykins, but the search for comfort in life should continue for everyone. Rob Dyrdek (pro. skater) is pretty hilarious, but when he actually gets into a fat-suit made by a Hollywood special effects make-up artist, he sees what some of the big dude struggles that Big confirms for him.

The styles we picked include cardigans, sweaters, polo shirts and shawl collar cardigans.

So, if you never noticed, we like Apple products. Wouldn’t go so far as to say we’re die-hard/purist fans, since we jailbreak every iOS product we own, but Apple makes good stuff. Have you seen the Apple store in a mall lately? That place is non-stop. They’re awesome at marketing and make pretty electronics though. Honestly, Apple is more of a phone/portable electronics maker to us than a computer company, but gadgets are pretty exciting.

At any rate, after owning multiple iPhones / fewer iPads, some of the best cases are made by Speck Products. They make some of the nicest fitted iPhone cases. For instance, we got a Speck PixelSkin HD for free with the iPhone 4 due to “death grip” antenna issues. Pretty sure an executive that headed the design team at Apple got fired over that issue with the antenna. Also, have you heard how Steven Jobs has anger issues and flies off the handle routinely on his employees? He tried to take ninja stars from a Japanese airport once and launched into a freak-out fury when Japanese airport security told him that he couldn’t bring them on his personal jet. Okay, so it’s a little ridiculous that he couldn’t take weapons on his private jet, but you never know with that guy. Don’t trust anyone today.

Post digression: so on top of making good products, Speck now partners with cool companies like Out Of Print and Burton to make sturdy cases with cool designs. For instance, you can check out the Out Of Print cases here and the Burton iPod / iPhone/ iPad cases here. Obviously, Burton is a snowboarding company and we have always been into their design style for boards and snowboarding apparel. If you didn’t know, though, Out Of Print takes classic book covers and prints them onto t-shirts. Simple idea for the latter, but pretty sweet. The Catcher in The Rye is one of our favorite books. They claim that terrorists are drawn to J. D. Salinger and Holden Caufield. Maybe Jobs likes that novel too.
