Levi’s X Patta Fall 2015 Collection

Posted on by bythelevel

 

Master collaborators and European sneaker institute Patta team up with Levi’s on a special collaborative collection for Fall 2015 that pays homage to the Amsterdam mainstay’s affinity for 90’s Hip Hop.

Channelling the aesthetic of rap legends including N.W.A and EMPD, the collection looks to traditional silhouettes of the era and applies subtle updates to create a modern take on the classic street uniforms. The collab comprises of three iconic Levi’s styles – the denim Trucker Jacket, 501 Custom & Tapered jeans and Western shirt – as well as distinctive Patta styles such as the Fishtail parka and Coach’s jacket, all of which have been treated with custom black and blue acid washes, with a co-branded two-horse pull back patch on the jackets. To round off the release, both brands have worked on a custom 5-panel cap, available in black and blue colour ways, as well as reworking Patta’s signature bum bag in a premium leather.

The super limited release will be arriving in two deliveries, the first being the black acid wash and the second the indigo colour options. Levi’s x Patta drop one will be available tomorrow (5th of September) on Patta’s web store as well as Hanon and The Hip Store

Volcom present ‘Real Life Happening’

Posted on by bythelevel

  To introduce the latest development in the brands denim line, Volcom have launched the ‘Real Life Happening’ campaign which looks to encourage adventurous living in a generation ruled by technology.

 The campaign and the collection itself draws inspiration from the idea of life on the road, looking to take something back from this digital era and its damaging effect on how we interact and socialise. Through their highly considered denim designs and feel good visuals, Volcom look to promote living life rather than immersing ourselves in our phone screens.

The newly redesigned denim range focuses on clean silhouettes with a timeless feel. Dubbed ‘Form Fit’, the design is inspired by the natural fit of a well worn pair of jeans and aims to elevate performance features such as durability, mobility and comfort, while conforming to the wearers body shape. Keeping in line with the brands history while applying a modern design approach, the full denim offering includes the 2Xs, Vorta, Solver and Kinkade silhouettes in a variety of washes. Each style includes the brands signature detailing in the “V” belt loop, hidden phone pocked and 2 piece coin pocket, as well as upgraded zippers and washer rivets. Technical moisture wicking fabrics allow your body to stay cool and clean finished interiors mean less chafing during movement.

 To celebrate the ‘Real Life Happening’ campaign, Volcom have put together this short video featuring hip hop duo Run The Jewels and indie rock artist Kurt Vile, alongside member’s of Volcom’s skate team, as they explore various locations across the US over an 8 month period. There is also a selection of strong imagery to accompany the campaigns video, from a selection of hugely talented photographers including Arto Saari, Aleandra Valenti, Matt Wignall and Gary Copeland, each offering their own unique take on the story.

 Enjoy the short video below and the lookbook shots above. To find out more on the campaign or to shop the latest Volcom brand jeans, head over to www.volcom.co.uk
