The Instagram Socialmatic Camera - Now in Black

Remember the much anticipated Socialmatic Camera by ADR Studio? We first discussed the Instagram Socialmatic Camera concept back in May (spotted on High Snobiety), it resulted in such high demand, that ADR Design actually went out to look for a production partner. They found one and expect to produce the first prototype very soon, with an official product launch to follow mid 2013. With this news they also present an updated design of the Socialmatic Camera, this time in a slick balck finish...

Major Ibiza Blueeesss!

@TOPMANUK_LisaT writing for TOPMANSCENE 

So it seems practically the whole of Topman HQ went to Ibiza this year! Including me, I have been back less than a week and can't seem to get over my blues :-( I am grumpy and moody and it's all because I'm not in Space or sunbathing on Bora bora anymore. If you haven't been to Ibiza yet then what is wrong with you?! 

Ushuaia the new super club in Playa den Bossa is a must, especially Cadenza on a Thursday for Luciano. The drink you see is a passion fruit slushie the most perfect refresher after a night in Pacha. Get your slushie at Sun sea bar San Antonio, the only good thing about San An!

As if you didn't know already THE print of the season is camo, whether this be on a jacket, snap back, belt, trousers, t-shirt or hoody. Topman's printed nylon rucksack is a perfect contribution to your Autumn Winter wardrobe. 

Another key print print for the season is animal, especially leopard print. Check out this amazing snap back. Wear as a statement piece with plain t-shirt and skinny denim jeans. ( Modelled by accessories buyer Nick! )
