Bent less on world domination, as the name might suggest, and more on the reinterpretation of fashion accessories, ARMREVOLUTION focuses mainly on re-imagining the standard cufflink. Creating what they call “arm architecture,” ARMREVOLUTION defines their project as a movement, drawing from elements of architectural design to challenge conventional notions of luxury and accessories. It’s an approach that, while perhaps a bit theatrical (peep the website’s high production intro video), has produced some inarguably cool cufflinks.

The flagship line is the Perpetual Series: six designs, each cut from super smooth Japanese steel, each with a unique closure system. The innovation is unmistakeable (all of the designs have patents pending), and the look is pretty killer too. Clean, understated, utilitarian– it’s industrial design for your shirt cuffs. Originally available by appointment only in NY and London, the company launched an e-commerce site back in December. As expected, cufflinks this innovative carry a fairly hefty price tag. These’ll run you between $695 and $750. But, what’s a revolution without a little sacrifice?

D&G’s handmade waxed leather messenger bag is Italian made and distinctive as hell. The studded leather strap, polished nickel logo plaque, and studs give the bag that 1977 King’s Road look Vivienne Westwood was pushing way back when the Sex Pistols were auditioning Johnny Rotten–by making him play singalong with an Alice Cooper single. A high-style, retro throwback classic-in-the-making.

DC Comics whiz Paul Pope is also in the fashion business, everything from what you see in the photo above to his DKNY jeans collection. Who knew that the guy who did Batman: Year 100 had some runway in him, too? Now you know…the comicbook panel (sorry, “serial art”) hoodie is especially sweet and we’re hoping that all his future designs are similarly free of superhero costuming materials and utility belts.  [JoshSpear]

The IKEA of fashion, H&M brings Euro style to the Americas with simple, tailored flair and penny-sized prices. The three pieces above would be a little more believable if they had another zero before that decimal point– but we are certainly not going to argue. Like IKEA, H&M takes an industrial, big box approach to forward thinking design. What IKEA does with furniture, H&M does with fashion. And while that modern coffee table from IKEA will likely fall apart in a few years, you can expect your new H&M gear to have a similar life expectancy. The difference being that next season, today’s fashions will be obsolete anyway… so why not save a few hundred on your wardrobe? H&M can certainly help you answer that question. Take a look at more 2008 Spring Fashion from H&M after the jump and at H&M online.

Yves Saint Laurent has always been a house-hold name in the fashion industry, creating some of the most dynamic gear for men and women. This year is no different. GearCrave readers, let me introduce you to the YSL Aviator Sunglasses. Easily the sickest shades on the market for men today. The plastic aviator frame is complimented with shiny brass hardware and 100% UVA/UVB protection lenses. It will definitely be difficult to find these sunglasses locally, providing you can even find a YSL Boutique. If you plan on picking a pair of these gorgeous sun-shades up, you’d better visit Yves Saint Laurent’s e-store. They come in only one color, Chocolate, and remind us of Sam Rothstein.

Do you remember the petite, flesh eating bugs from The Mummy movie series? They were scarabs, or at least they looked an awful lot like scarabs. David Yurman has incorporated these little creatures into one of this year’s hottest men’s accessories. The David Yurman Scarab Ring. It’s a solid, sterling silver ring with perforated texture and a 22-karat yellow gold scarab engraved center. The 22-karat DY stamp happens to be a perfect compliment to the main engraving, and it’s size is just large enough to stand out. Quite possibly the coolest piece of men’s jewelry they’ve ever produced, and believe it or not, they are selling out everywhere. So hurry into your local David Yurman Boutique or Neiman Marcus department store to pick yours up before they’re all gone!

ISO50 presets the London ‘68 shirt in all its analog retro glory. The fact that it’s screen-printed on an American Apparel shirt and is 100% sweatshop-free makes this even cooler. ISO50 has a whole series of great, retro-looking prints, shirts, album covers, you name it. The style is unmistakable once you’ve seen enough of these old-school goodies.

Amp Street’s limited editions instantly identifable. The “Bird Bellt” for example. The odd mispelling of the word “belt,” pre-stressed look, the M.C. Escher-esque flying birds, and that big Amp logo…perfect for your turn at Guitar Hero, punk rock karaoke, anything that requires you to dress the part with one part Clash and one part Shins in your fashion statement. Because these are limited, better snap ‘em up while you can.
