KR3W Holiday 2014 Lookbook

Posted on by bythelevel

 

KR3W continue the ‘dark americana’ theme from their Autumn release as they present their latest offering for Holiday 2014.

It’s no secret that we were huge fans of KR3W’s previous collection. With Jack Toledo at the head of the brands design, the release was their most mature to date and firmly re-announced that the brand, which had once seemingly lost its way, is well and truly back on track.

KR3W continue in the same vein and maintain their moody aesthetic with a monochromatic colour palette full of dark washes, over-dyed pieces and muted pops of tartan. The Holiday release features the brands signature graphic emblazoned tees, alongside cut and sew pieces in jackets, sweaters and shirts that take a more subtle design approach. The waxed terry fleece coach jacket is the stand out piece from this one and the collection also unveils the highly anticipated Eric Dressen capsule release.

The KR3W Holiday 2014 collection is available now at the brands website kr3wdenim.com and selected retailers including routeone.co.uk

Nixon x Colette

Posted on by bythelevel

For the third year running, California based Nixon link up with Parisian boutique Colette to once again rework the classic Time Teller.

The timepiece arrives in limited numbers, with only 99 put into production so you’re going to need to act quickly if you want to get your hands on one. Each piece is engraved with their individual number, etched into the 100-metre stainless steel case that arrives in a cool silver. The wrist strap take cues from the french concept stores signature navy-blue, with a complimenting watch face that makes use of Nixon’s popular blue sun ray pattern.

The Nixon X Colette will be available in limited numbers from the 8th of November at www.colette.fr
