Posted on by bythelevel

HALL-OF-FAME-WORLD-CUP

Despite England’s dreams of lifting the world cup being dashed for another four years, this tournament has seen some of the best football played and atmosphere created for years. Hall of Fame once again draw influence from notable sports themes as they release a capsule collection in honour of the World Cup.

The release pays homage to 5 of the top nations (kind of) Brazil, France, Germany, Italy and England, with each of the garments holding the date of each nations World Cup victory. Continuing the pixelated designs as seen in other collections, the long and short sleeved tees feature the nations badges and kit numbers on the back print.

The Hall of Fame World Cup Capsule collection is available now at www.present-london.com

The collection sees Garbstore take inspiration from construction and the idea of layering to create strength.

Japanese woven Jacquard is a key feature, receiving extra dying treatments to add to their appearance, whilst Hemp replaces cotton throughout the collection. The collection receives a summery treatment with the inclusion of daisy, palm tree and tropical prints, adding a playful theme to the range.

Key pieces include the Maintenance Jacket crafted out of vintage fabric with oil paint detailing and an illustrative printed tee, in which the ‘South Shelter’ title is derived from.

IMG_2413-2

We have been eagerly anticipating this release since we first caught wind of it, with those earthy tones a firm summer favourite here at bythelevel. Brixton based SATTA are proud to present their solstice collection for summer 2014.

Rooted in Rastafarian culture and inspired by the simplicity and rawness of skateboardings beginnings, SATTA tells the story of livity which embodies a connectedness, balance and harmony with nature and all of creation. Since making its debut with handcrafted cruiser decks sculpted from salvaged offcuts, the ‘sidewalk surfer’ boards have put SATTA on the map as one of the highest quality skateboards available.

This summer sees SATTA develop their range into a collection of seasonal staples including tees, hoods and accessories to sit alongside their custom boards. The clothing is made from 100% organic cotton, taking cues and colour inspiration from the natural world.

SATTA’s founder Joe had this to say on the collection;

“Being mindful that the vibe and lifestyle of Satta resonate beyond just skateboarding, we have launched our first clothing collection as a means to spread the Satta Livity.”

The collection will drop this month online at www.sattalivity.com as well as key skate, surf and lifestyle stores including Goodhood and Slam City Skates
