Posted on by bythelevel

 


 Florida natives Rip N Dip have come through with another extensive, cat centric collection this season, made up of several skate-ready, staples ready for the colder months on the south coast of the USA.

Again taking a unique, playful approach towards their designs, which has made the brands previous collections so popular, we see Rip N Dip introduce new tongue-in-cheek designs alongside their more familiar Lord Nermal and Alien designs. Although there are select pieces featuring bolder patterns and tie dye treatments, the majority of the release features more of a subtle colour palette to match the season, applied across tees, long sleeves, hoodies and sweaters. The brands outerwear selection has expanded to include coach jackets, patchwork varsity styles and robust work jackets, while the release is rounded off with a strong dad hat selection and a range of accessories including umbrellas, socks and stickers, as well as three new deck graphics.

Posted on by bythelevel

 

Creative collective Brain Dead have unveiled their 5th collection, which has dropped in UK stores and online now, again drawing from numerous obscure references for a refreshing approach towards the graphic lead staples.  

 Dubbed "Mondo" which takes inspiration from the controversial 60's documentary Mondo Cane, the collection pulls elements from skate and surf culture, old punk aesthetics, classic cartoons and more specific themes such as shokushu goukan - Japanese tentacle erotica, with bold graphics translated on to tees, long sleeves and tote bags. Alongside the more familiar logo graphic pieces which features throughout, the release is bulked out with a considered selection of cut & sew, featuring the Japanese inspired Noragi chore coat, and two patterned short sleeve shirts which feature the artwork of Jen Shear. Rounding of the collection is a small headwear range made up of embroidered 6 panels and mesh truckers, as well as printed tote bags and sticker collection.

 The latest collection from Brain Dead is available over on the brands online store as well as selected UK retailers including Goodhood and Garbstore.
