The Quiet Life X Watershed Collection and Pop-Up Store

Posted on by bythelevel

 

The Quiet Life join forces with UK based outdoor lifestyle store Watershed to present their ‘Glass and Sew’ collaboration.

Since its inception back in 2011, Watershed store have worked to provide their consumer base with unique product that is hard to find anywhere else, as well as developing their own surf range to fulfil demand for boards made to tackle UK waves. The ‘Glass and Sew’ collaboration combines The Quiet Life’s focus on unique materials and fabrics, with Watershed’s expertise within surfing and surf board design.

Watershed co founders – James Wright & Jake Patterson said this on the collection;

“Working with The Quiet Life has allowed us to take the glass and sew concept a step further. The opportunity to create a full range with such an established and influential brand has been absolutely amazing”.

The collection consists of graphic raglan-sleeved tees and hoodies, as well as cut and sew items in the short sleeve woven shirts and beach shorts. Headwear selections include a printed bucket hat, 5 panel and 6 panel. The collections surf theme is really brought to life through four customer designed surfboard’s two made in the UK and two in California.

Andy Mueller of The Quiet Life had this to say;

“Working with Watershed was great because it was a true collaboration – both Quiet Life and Watershed brought ideas to each other and we worked well together as a group to make each other’s ideas stronger and unified. It was a fun project as it involved all of my favourite things – creating new graphics, developing a unique cut and sew collection, and introducing two new garments to Quiet Life – the beach zip up and the beach shorts”.

To celebrate the collaboration, Watershed will be taking their concept store to London’s Boxpark from the 14th up until the 20th of July. The collection will be sitting alongside Watershed’s own range and The Quiet Life’s latest release.

KR3W x Niagara Preview

Posted on by bythelevel

 

For this Autumn/Winter, skateboarding apparel specialists KR3W link up with artist and musician Niagara to produce a limited range of tees and sweaters.

Having founded, fronted and been a part of several bands in her time, Niagara utilised her art school experience to produce album art and promotional materials for her bands Destroy All Monsters / Dark Carnival. Through this she found her style, combining illustration with collages and pop iconography, a style which she carried through to the 90’s as she began to host small exhibitions and cafe shows in the Detroit area. Soon to follow were high profile exhibits around the world and the title of “The Queen of Detroit” was given to her by many art periodicals. Her standout piece, ‘The Niagara Girl’ represents a certain feminist swagger with her drop dead gorgeous looks and an equally dangerous demeanour.

Check out product images from the first of many unique collaborations from KR3W above and below, which highlights a selection of graphic tees and hooded sweaters from the KR3W X Niagara collection. For more information on KR3W be sure to visit kr3wdenim.com

PUMA x Size? ‘Wilderness Pack’ Drop 1

Posted on by bythelevel

PUMA link up with yet another big name as they present the Wilderness pack for summer 2014. We take a look at drop one from the German shoe giants collaboration with size?, as they release details on the R698 ‘Sahara’ and XS850 ‘ Inner City’.

With a range of high profile releases behind them this year already, the first drop in the Wilderness Pack offers something slightly different as they take inspiration from harsh terrain environments.

Inspired by the barren desert, the R698 ‘Sahara’ resembles the dry landscape through its use of suede on the upper and sand speckled midsole. The shoe features high levels of detailing throughout including a leather toe box, as well as blue and cacti green colour accents on the inner and heel tab.

The XS850 is another 90’s re-issue, originally released as a running shoe. The shoe provides maximum stability and comfort, with design features that equips the wearer for survival in the street. The black leather upper and 3M mesh combines with the yellow inner and green tab detailing to reflect the city landscape.

The PUMA x Size? ‘Wilderness Pack’ drop one will be available in-store at Size? from the 21st of June and other selected retailers from the 12th of July. Keep an eye out for information on the second drop to follow!
