Rise Worldwide is stunning its way to some great places in the UK. New Zealander Ranui runs this label from London. They have just launched a new website. They are essentially a print based street wear label. Some great print work and ideas. Their new skate deck is killer, there should be pics up soon of it. Check there website rise worldwide
They have been around for years, of course. I'd just like to say that I am a revived fan. Of course we could go the fluro "bring back 86" look, which is great. I went the black leather way. Adds a touch of class. An essential accessory. Might I add 'head porter' just released a very very similar looking one. But I got mine way cheaper with was less effort. But if u wanna sell me a head porter one I'd still be a sucker for it.
Two favourite brands Cosby and Wood Wood release their new look books. check "Cosby clothing" to see cosby stuff closer. 
American apparel keep turning out the goods. There new fluro guys tee's are out and about. They come in fluro pink, green, yellow and orange. You can get them at superette Auckland or just order them for way cheaper off there website. This picture isn't really doing the tshirt any justice, but you get the idea.
