The Hundreds Winter 2014 Collection

The Hundreds head to Anchorage, Alaska with photographer Jovell Rennie to showcase their latest offering for Winter 2014 in this impressive look book set in the great outdoors.

Looking back at the brands history in flying the flag for independent counter culture, this seasons offerings channel riots, rebellion and unrest as it’s main inspirations. Stepping away from their usual vibrant tones, the subdued colour palette gives a more mature approach in a line that embodies ‘mobility, progression and protection’ across a range of staple winter items.

Comprising of mostly robust outerwear pieces, the collection includes pullover sweaters, flannel button-down shirts, quilted body warmers, two-tone jackets and cargo pants. Keeping logos and graphics to a minimum, the use of camo print throughout to the collection is a nod to the brands appreciation towards militant subcultures.

Bobby Hundreds had this to say on the release:

One of the clearest ways of defining who you are is by fighting against what you are not. The Hundreds was established as a response – to convention, to rules, and industry paradigms.  As a couple of kids who built something out of nothing, we’ve proudly bore the flag of the independents and the counterculture.  We’ve sought revolution – a new philosophy for how clothing should be understood, brands experienced, and companies built.  The Hundreds Winter 2014 is inspired by this history.  The season considers the uniform of radical thinkers and progressive activists. It acknowledges the fashion aesthetic of social change from punk to politics to protests. You know what you stand for. This is what you’ll stand in.”

We have been eagerly anticipating this release since we first caught wind of it, with those earthy tones a firm summer favourite here at bythelevel. Brixton based SATTA are proud to present their solstice collection for summer 2014.

Rooted in Rastafarian culture and inspired by the simplicity and rawness of skateboardings beginnings, SATTA tells the story of livity which embodies a connectedness, balance and harmony with nature and all of creation. Since making its debut with handcrafted cruiser decks sculpted from salvaged offcuts, the ‘sidewalk surfer’ boards have put SATTA on the map as one of the highest quality skateboards available.

This summer sees SATTA develop their range into a collection of seasonal staples including tees, hoods and accessories to sit alongside their custom boards. The clothing is made from 100% organic cotton, taking cues and colour inspiration from the natural world.

SATTA’s founder Joe had this to say on the collection;

Being mindful that the vibe and lifestyle of Satta resonate beyond just skateboarding, we have launched our first clothing collection as a means to spread the Satta Livity.”
