Volcom present ‘Real Life Happening’

  To introduce the latest development in the brands denim line, Volcom have launched the ‘Real Life Happening’ campaign which looks to encourage adventurous living in a generation ruled by technology.

 The campaign and the collection itself draws inspiration from the idea of life on the road, looking to take something back from this digital era and its damaging effect on how we interact and socialise. Through their highly considered denim designs and feel good visuals, Volcom look to promote living life rather than immersing ourselves in our phone screens.

The newly redesigned denim range focuses on clean silhouettes with a timeless feel. Dubbed ‘Form Fit’, the design is inspired by the natural fit of a well worn pair of jeans and aims to elevate performance features such as durability, mobility and comfort, while conforming to the wearers body shape. Keeping in line with the brands history while applying a modern design approach, the full denim offering includes the 2Xs, Vorta, Solver and Kinkade silhouettes in a variety of washes. Each style includes the brands signature detailing in the “V” belt loop, hidden phone pocked and 2 piece coin pocket, as well as upgraded zippers and washer rivets. Technical moisture wicking fabrics allow your body to stay cool and clean finished interiors mean less chafing during movement.

 To celebrate the ‘Real Life Happening’ campaign, Volcom have put together this short video featuring hip hop duo Run The Jewels and indie rock artist Kurt Vile, alongside member’s of Volcom’s skate team, as they explore various locations across the US over an 8 month period. There is also a selection of strong imagery to accompany the campaigns video, from a selection of hugely talented photographers including Arto Saari, Aleandra Valenti, Matt Wignall and Gary Copeland, each offering their own unique take on the story.

 Enjoy the short video below and the lookbook shots above. To find out more on the campaign or to shop the latest Volcom brand jeans, head over to www.volcom.co.uk

Dickies AW15 European Lookbook

 

Dickies have linked up with London based creative agency Peach Fuzz to put together this clean portrait-led lookbook to highlight key styles from the brands Autumn/Winter 2015 collection.

A company that is renowned for its robust, functional designs and its rich heritage in protective workwear, more recent times have seen Dickies adopted by different markets across the globe, including skate and the more fashion focused. Because of this the brand has adapted and developed its designs, with modern updates to their traditional silhouettes to appeal to the different tastes and trends of each audience.

This Autumn/Winter release shows diversity from the historic US label, taking a ‘unique European sensibility’ into consideration while honouring the authentic and functional design approach that has been a huge part of the Dickies story. Hickory stripe dungarees, heavyweight flannel shirting and chore jackets give a nod to the brands workwear roots, while polo shirts, selvedge denim jeans, parka jackets, chinos and hoodies give the collection a more casual, streetwear twist. The visuals also highlight some of the brands latest footwear options, which take traditional workwear shapes and adapt them for the lifestyle market, featuring subtle detailing in the embossed Dickies branding on the heel.

Post Details Summer 2015 – Tennis Anyone?

 

Swedish skate brand Post Details draw inspiration from the popular summer pastime of tennis in their latest collection, appropriately dubbed “Tennis Anyone?”

Having previously focused their releases towards headwear designs, their latest effort takes a slightly different direction as they continue to develop their clothing range, giving their own representation of Tennis apparel informed by their skateboarding heritage. The new collection sees the bright white and greens of the grass court applied to a range of polos tops, tees, sweaters, shorts, bottoms, socks and light outerwear options, alongside a complimenting range of caps. Post have also reworked some of the most iconic tennis brand logos and applied them as large back prints and small embroidered type, alongside their classic hydrant design, onto the pieces. The range also features a nice little touch in the custom ‘racket bag’ to accompany the apparel offerings, large enough to fit your deck in when your on your travels.

The collection offers up a unique take on tennis wear and is definitely something different to what we have seen from other skate focused brands this season.  The Post Details ‘Tennis Anyone’ Collection will be available this month from Flatspot, Ideal, Palomino Club, Lost Art and Sneakers N Stuff.
