Blacksmith Winter 2016 Lookbook

 

 London based Blacksmith Store combine with in-demand photographer Vicky Grout on this simplistic lookbook, showcasing their latest offerings from the stores in-house line for Winter 2016. 

The collection draws inspiration from "a wealth of nostalgic British subculture and anti-establishment iconography", giving a nod towards the cultural deterioration of Great Britain. Blacksmith channel the anguish and aggression manifested amongst UK's youth, while referencing niche 80's and 90's movements in music and film, and these themes have been translated on to graphics tees, hoodies and embroidered headwear. The collection is rounded off with a concise range of carefully constructed outerwear as the brand combines with sportswear giants Champion on light hooded rain jackets and block coloured quarter zip pullovers.

You can take a closer look at the collection in the lookbook above. The Blacksmith Store Winter 2016 collection is available exclusively on the brands webstore now, as well as Perth's StreetX over in Australia.

Although it's nothing groundbreaking from indcsn, it's good to see the UK brand continue to build off their renowned aesthetic, playing to their strengths and producing quality over quantity.
