END. X Wood Wood Capsule Collection

Posted on by bythelevel

 

Following previews that emerged earlier this week, we can now offer a closer look into the END. X Wood Wood Capsule Collection.

Celebrating the stores 10 year anniversary and their longstanding friendship with the Danish menswear brand, the duo look to the often ignored yet powerful ‘X’ symbol that brings many together in collaborative efforts. Delving into Wood Wood’s archives, they pull out the classic ‘hour glass/eternity symbol’ print and apply it to a range of sophisticated outerwear pieces, patterned shirting, jersey and headwear, as well as graphic tees in black and white colour options.

Brian SS Jensen of Wood Wood had this to say on the release:

““We have been working with END. since the beginning, and they have always been very supportive of our brand. Both companies have grown and evolved over the years, but we still maintain a strong relationship and we were happy to contribute to the 10-year anniversary celebrations. Lots of respect and congratulations from Copenhagen!”

The END. X Wood Wood capsule collection is available now at www.endclothing.com

Universal Works Autumn/Winter 2014

Posted on by bythelevel

 

Providing a unique and refreshing approach to menswear styling, Universal Works return with their Autumn/Winter collection that references 50’s suiting and draws influence from military detailing and classic workwear.

The UK brand have prided themselves on producing small quantities and focused on the style and superior fits of their garments. This season they continue this ethos in a diverse collection that features a mixture of classic and contemporary fabrics across a range of smart menswear and more casual, workwear pieces. From Harris Tweed and Yorkshire Lambswool to Japanese denims, the broad choice of materials create the base, whilst Norfolks winter coastline acts as inspiration for the collections colour palette.

A slightly more mature look than we usually feature on the site, however we are huge fans of the brands approach to design and the care that goes into every piece. The mix of the traditional and the modern offers something different to the norm and its stylish yet understated clothing is the perfect solution to a smarter street ready look.

The Universal Works Autumn/Winter 2014 collection is available now at www.universalworks.co.uk
