Grind London 'In Season'

Grind London SS15 ‘In Season’ Lookbook

Posted on by bythelevel

 

 Grind London offer up another visual treat for Spring/Summer 2015 as they bring the summer vibes for their latest lookbook entitled ‘In Season’.

Its been great to see the London based brand continue to make such an impact on the national and global scene in recent years. Seamlessly combining the quality of menswear design with more casual streetwear styles, they have continued to develop their range season after season. There aren’t many other UK brands that have offered the level of conviction in design or general aesthetic that Grind London have, with staple items through to more considered cut and sew pieces, their releases draw from a range of themes that embody the culturally diverse melting pot that is our capital city.

Their latest release for Spring/Summer takes inspiration from the notion of being “in”, looking past the fads and trends that were, for their moment, the “in” thing and rather to those that have achieved longevity instead of fading out. From this, Grind London have put together a collection that doesn’t adhere to the current trends of the market, but offers up something more timeless. “In Season” features several graphic focused tees, long sleeves and hoodies, alongside a strong cut and sew range consisting of patterned shirting, light-jacketing options, tailored trousers and shorts, most of which has been constructed using premium Japanese cotton. The collection is rounded off with several weather appropriate caps, featuring embroidered logo’s and corduroy.

Enjoy the awesome lookbook above and see the accompanying video below, both shot around an idyllic summer pool side scene. You can shop the Grind London “In Season” collection in its entirety over at www.grindlondon.com

 Raised By Wolves unveil a selection of stripped back visuals as they preview their latest release for Spring /Summer 2015.

The clothing and visuals from the Canadian brands previous releases have been executed to the highest standards, delivering quality and highly wearable clothing with each instalment. Although this season the look book is fairly minimal compared to their previous efforts, the latest collection is brimming with character throughout, continuing to stick to the brands identifiable aesthetic.

Spring/Summer 2015 incorporates sportswear themes within ‘premium’ street ready pieces, and from what we can see from the visuals, is comprised of hoody and sweater options, baseball jersey syles and a selection of headwear, rounded off nicely with a collaborative capsule collection as they link up with Oakland based artist Brendan Moore. Most of the collection is made in Canada meaning we can expect consideration in the construction.

You can expect Raised By Wolves Spring/Summer 2015 to be arriving at UK stores including Urban Industry, KRUSOE and The Chimp Store shortly.

The brands American made authentic wool flannels have seen increased interest across the globe, with notable brands and stores queuing up to combine their own creative direction with the brands quality construction in design.

Today, Ebbets Field is still run by those who founded the brand back in the 80’s and remains committed to providing the modern consumer with the quality and craftmanship of mid-century American athletic garments.

New for Spring 2015, we see the introduction of new team collections which include Chunichi Dragons, Great Lakes, Los Barbudos and Cordoba Cafeteros applied to light jacketing options, heavy-weight tees and the brands famous ballcaps.

Posted on by bythelevel

 New York’s 10.Deep continue to deliver clean visuals in their latest look book for their Spring 2015 “American Glitch” collection, with the first delivery entitled “Reckless”.

 The brand looks back to the late 90’s/early 2000’s to draw inspiration from american workwear, hunting gear and the everyman ‘fashion’ of the era. For most, including me, the late 90’s/early 2000’s wardrobe is something I would happily forget, but 10.Deep have certainly managed to pull the best from the times and translated the pieces into a highly wearable, street ready collection.

 Reworking stonewashed denim, bleached and over washed khakis, with a colour base of red, white and navy, which sets the overall tone for the collection. The release is diverse, comprised of several trouser styles from cuffed pattern joggers to patchwork denim, several button-down shirts and lighter outerwear options. 10.Deep also continue their focus on sportswear themes through various hooded sweaters and nascar themed jerseys.

 10.Deep’s first delivery from their “American Glitch” Spring collection will be available at the following UK retailers shortly;
