Dark Circle SS15 “Broken Britain” Collection

 

Continuing an exciting week of releases from UK labels, Birmingham based Dark Circle draw from their frustrations with the current state of affairs in Britain and take inspiration from the people, places and times in which the underprivileged have been forced to react and stand up to those oppressing them, as they present the Broken Britain Collection.

With the general election looming, the theme of the drop couldn’t be more relevant. Counterculture and political messaging play a huge role in streetwear’s roots and its development, so its great to see a UK brand taking that approach to inform their design and doing it well. Their latest collection is heavily influenced by the 80’s and 90’s working class aesthetic, and it takes a fairly minimal approach towards colour and branding. As well as a selection of tees, long-sleeves and hoodies, Dark Circle continue to put a lot of emphasis on their cut and sew range, with a strong selection of shirting and light jacketing options, utilizing camo and stripe pattern, with subtle patch branding. Rounding off the release is a strong range of headwear pieces, featuring embroidered caps and buckets.

Stand out pieces for us include the Uniform Overshirt in woodland camo and olive, as well as the vintage look D Logo Polo Cap. You can shop the Dark Circle Broken Britain Collection in its entirety over at www.darkcircleclothing.com.
