Rebel8 Winter 2014 Lookbook

Posted on by bythelevel

 

Rebel8 continue to apply their rebellious styles to a range of street ready pieces as they present their Winter collection for 2014.

The Californian brand takes a focus on layering for the colder seasons, with an array of bold graphic tees, sweaters and hoodies featuring the animated styles from the brands founders – Joshy D and Mike Giant. The street ready staples are complimented by a solid selection of cut and sew pieces from button-up shackets with patch detailing to a matching patterned shirt and trouser combo. It’s clear that Rebel8 have put a lot of energy into their outerwear selection for the season, made up of perfectly executed puffer jackets and lined parka styles, that take a minimal approach to branding and instead let their construction do the talking.

The Rebel8 Winter 2014 collection will be available at UK stores including Urban Industry from the 1st of December.

The Hundreds by Todd Bratrud Collection

Posted on by bythelevel

 

The Hundreds link up with the sharpie-wielding Todd Bratrud as they apply the artists unique, teen-inspired designs to a selection of apparel in their latest collaborative capsule collection.

Having previously worked with the likes of Nike SB and Volcom, Todd Bratrud’s style fits well into the Californian street wear brands aesthetic, taking inspiration from our favourite juvenile vices including comic books, pin-ball machine artwork, skateboarding and half-naked ladies, as well as an appearance from The Hundreds iconic Adam Bomb. The collection arrives in a black and white colour palette and consists of short and long sleeves tees, pullover hoodies, woven button down shirt, 5 panel and a fitting notebook and sharphie combo.

Todd Bratrud said this on the collab:

“This project and these drawings are as simple as what happens when you keep a marker on you at all times, obviously bathroom walls are where the best examples of this style of ‘art’ can be found. Also, I physically (and mentally) can’t stop drawing, so these crude drawings might be the most accurate depiction of how my mind works when it comes to creating art.”

For more information on The Hundreds X Todd Bratrud Capsule Collection visit www.thehundreds.com. The release will be available in the UK shorty and can be found at the following stockists:
