The Decades Holiday 2015 Lookbook

Posted on by bythelevel

 

 The Decades take a mature approach to casual headwear as they present their latest collection for Holiday 2015, captured in this simplistic lookbook.

Despite being a fairly new introduction to the market, the Philadelphia brand has continued to make an impression on the global scene, with various stockists worldwide thanks to their quality headwear designs. Following on from their ‘Olympics’ inspired collection from earlier this year, the brand have delivered a new selection of caps and apparel, combining elements of vintage sportswear within their design. The Holiday 2015 release is a good reflection of the brands progress and shows how much they have developed, with a considered approach towards everything from the logo designs to the materials used. The collection consists of 6-panels, deconstructed strap backs, curved brim polo caps and beanies, featuring custom embroidery and patchwork detailing throughout, with simplistic colour blocking in numerous colour options. Rounding off the release is a concise selection of apparel which includes hoodies and lightweight satin bomber jackets featuring bold graphic back prints, again aligning with the vintage athletic themes.

The Decades Holiday 2015 collection is available now on the brands webstore. The collection should hopefully be arriving on our shores shortly with the brands UK stockists, however there hasn’t been any solid confirmation, so be sure to check back for updates.

Posted on by bythelevel

 

London streetwear label DEATHTRAP present their latest collection dubbed “North/South”, a monochromatic offering inspired by the famous tagline “South of Heaven / North of Hell”.

Having debuted their inaugural collection in the summer of last year, DEATHTRAP, fronted by Prevalence Creative Co. designer Tom Winslade, has continued to develop its minimal, clean approach to casual streetwear design. The latest collection keeps it simple and aligns with the brands previous releases, comprised of streetwear staples that includes tees, long-sleeves, hoodies, all of which have been designed to be worn oversized. The monochromatic colour palette is reflective of the contrasting tagline from which the collection is inspired, with each piece available in black or white options.
