Raised By Wolves AW15

Raised By Wolves Fall/Winter 2015 Lookbook

 

Having arrived in UK stores at the end of last week, we can now take a closer look at the latest collection from Canadian natives Raised By Wolves, showcased in this stunning lookbook shot by regular collaborator and world renowned photographer Trashhand.

With every season, we wait in eager anticipation to see the latest set of visuals that Raised By Wolves put together, because you know they’re always going to be special. Having linked up with several high profile photographers to highlight different releases in the past, they look once again to the trustworthy lens of Trashhand as they head out in to the great outdoors of British Columbia, capturing RBW’s considered line up of weather ready goods for Fall/Winter 2015.

The collection is heavily athletic influenced and looks to a variety of sports including hockey, rugby and baseball to inform their designs. Being deeply rooted in streetwear, there is the usual staple silhouettes including graphic tees and long-sleeves featuring designs from Canadian artists Jeff Hamada and Fergus “Fergadelic” Purcell, as well as sweaters, sweatpants and a strong headwear selection made up of beanies, 5-panels and the stand out Laurentian 7 panel caps made from a mix of Melton wool and brushed bull denim. The brand definitely sways towards the more high-end of the streetwear spectrum and its cut and sew line proves it, including lightweight coach jackets, turtlenecks and even a collaborative anorak hoodie with Trashhand, shows how the brand continues to push things forward with it’s designs. Rounding off the release is an array of accessories which include long burn candles, incense and deer skin palmed gloves.

The Raised By Wolves Fall/Winter 2015 collection is available now at UK retailers including Urban Industry, The Chimp Store and KRUSOE.

Levi’s Skateboarding Fall/Winter 2015 Lookbook

 

 Levi’s skateboarding unveil their latest collection for Fall/Winter 2015, which sees the brand draw inspiration from the working class citizens of their hometown of San Francisco.

Already a hugely popular brand amongst skaters worldwide, the heritage denim label made the seamless transition into skate after announcing their first skate focused collection in Autumn of 2013, and this season they continue to develop the line with another well rounded collection of robust, skate ready apparel.

One of skateboardings iconic photographs of all time would inform the collections aesthetic, in which photographer Bryce Knights captures Mark Gonzales shredding a vert wall in Alcatraz federal penitentiary, located seven miles into San Francisco Bay. From this, Levi’s centred the collection around the styles worn by those who were involved in building SF’s Golden Gate Bridge back in the 30’s, with the designers pulling key styles of the times from the Levi’s archive and giving them a modern update.

Within the collection we find the popular slim fit work pant’s alongside denim jeans that arrive in a variety of washes. Key cut and sew pieces in the chambray quilted shirts and lined denim chore coat are the stand out pieces from the release, which is bulked out by two pack striped tees and rounded off with hard-wearing sweaters and sweatpants that offer unrivalled comfort during movement. Arriving with the slogan ‘strong made stronger’, you know that you’re getting quality in construction with each piece built for a purpose by a brand who are famed for their long lasting, timeless designs.

To commemorate the release, Levi’s have put together this short clip of Marius Syvanen and Pat Moran skating through Oakland. The Levi’s Skateboarding Fall/Winter 2015 collection is available now over on the brands web-store.
