10.Deep Spring 2015 Delivery 1

 New York’s 10.Deep continue to deliver clean visuals in their latest look book for their Spring 2015 “American Glitch” collection, with the first delivery entitled “Reckless”.

 The brand looks back to the late 90’s/early 2000’s to draw inspiration from american workwear, hunting gear and the everyman ‘fashion’ of the era. For most, including me, the late 90’s/early 2000’s wardrobe is something I would happily forget, but 10.Deep have certainly managed to pull the best from the times and translated the pieces into a highly wearable, street ready collection.

 Reworking stonewashed denim, bleached and over washed khakis, with a colour base of red, white and navy, which sets the overall tone for the collection. The release is diverse, comprised of several trouser styles from cuffed pattern joggers to patchwork denim, several button-down shirts and lighter outerwear options. 10.Deep also continue their focus on sportswear themes through various hooded sweaters and nascar themed jerseys.

 10.Deep’s first delivery from their “American Glitch” Spring collection will be available at the following UK retailers shortly;

Working closely with Urban Industry and Dickies Europe, we have put together a selection of seasonal looks from the Dickies Spring/Summer 2015 range.

With a heritage that spans almost 100 years, Dickies were, and still are, the go to brand for high quality workwear, offering functionality, durability and comfort in their construction. Recent times have seen the brand make moves into the streetwear and skate market thanks to the increased popularity of workwear styles, as well as their durable work pants being adopted by skaters for their reasonable pricing and ability to withstand the rigours of skating.

Their latest range offers a mixture of casual and smarter options, while the work pant remains the staple piece, reworked into numerous fits to cater to different sizes and looks. From basic t-shirts and sweaters to more stand out items such as the Honolulu shirt and Cedar Key Rugby Shirt, the offering is diverse and full of essentials that have withstood the test of time.

For the visuals we aimed to highlight the variety within range, showcasing a variety of looks and working around the brands popular work pant, dressing the styles up and down. We chose to capture the collection in an urban environment, reflecting how the clothing would be worn in an everyday scenario.

Vans x AntiHero

Vans x Anti-Hero 20th Anniversary Collection

 

Celebrating 20 years of rich skateboarding heritage, two giants come together on a collaborative collection this Spring. Anti-Hero are one of the most respected brands to ever do it, renowned for their iconic board graphics and influential team riders, some of which they share with Vans. As two brands who are responsible for so much in the development of Skateboarding and the history they share together, it seems right that the pair have come together to mark the occasion.

Anti-Hero’s story started in 1995. Founded by Julien Stranger back when the industry was small and the companies involved were pretty much all skater owned, doing it for the love of skateboarding rather than financial gain. Born out of the desire to create a way of living rather than a quick way to make money, the name ‘Anti-Hero’ is appropriate with Stranger pretty much ‘Anti’ everything at the time, something he expressed publicly through his ads and board graphics. The brand represents the way in which the youth of skateboarding lived their life and it has carried this ethos through to modern day, one of the realest skate brands out there.

The 20th Anniversary collection offers up dual branded rework on four key pro models including the Era 46 Pro, Slip-On 59 Pro and the Sk8-Mid Pro, featuring the pro heel tab, ULTRCUSH insoles for support and comfort, DURACAP reinforcements in the toe area for protection, as well as suede applications on the upper for durability and grip. The release also debuts Tony Trujillo’s sixth generation Vans signature pro model – the TNT SG. The TNT SG Anti-Hero rework is characterised by the brands iconic print on the mid foot and lock up graphic on the tongue label. Additional features include the Anti-Hero labelling, original waffle outsole and Vans Ortholite sockliner for comfort.

The collection is rounded off with a concise apparel selection featuring dual branded tees in white and black, snapback and coach jacket. The Vans x Anti-Hero 20th Anniversary Collection is available now at vans.co.uk and selected Vans retailers.

Brixton Spring 2015

Brixton unveil the latest visuals for their Spring 2015 collection, both of which perfectly capture the laid back aesthetic of the California based brand.

The latest instalment from Brixton is much of what we have come to expect from the brand, revisiting themes that we have seen consistently season after season to offer up a well balanced collection that gives quality in construction, muted earthy tones and relaxed styles, representing the relaxed culture of America’s west coast.

The collection ranges from the staple selection of tees, long sleeves and a vast array of headwear, to more technical cut and sew pieces in their button down shirts, comfortable chino trousers and light jacketing options. Exploring new materials and patterns, the brand holds back on loud graphic and colour applications, rather focusing on producing more timeless pieces that will look good all year round.

The brand embodies the music, people and culture that surrounds them, and they make those influences clear in their designs and more notably in their visuals. Accompanying their still imagery is a short video lookbook which features Californian brand The Rooms, again showcasing the garments and also relaying what Brixton as a lifestyle is all about. Brixton continue to stick close to their roots and what they know best, effortlessly delivering refreshing, easy to wear clothing that doesn’t cut corners in quality or fit.

The Brixton Spring 2015 collection will be available in the UK this week at the following retailers

Hélas Polo Club Capsule Collection

 

Toulouse based Hélas Caps present their first release of the year with a concise collection entitled the Polo Club Capsule.

Hélas continue to draw influence from other notable designer labels as they rework their distinctive Umbrella motif, adding a guy riding a camel, which serves as the the logo for the release. Sticking to a strict colour palette of navy blue and white, the capsule consists of two 100% cotton t-shirts that adorns the polo club logo on the chest and as a back print, with embroidered label detailing on the hem. The stand out French designed Jacket is constructed from a soft polyester with a tonal mesh lining for warmth and extra comfort, with nice touches in the custom umbrella zip pulls and elasticated ribbed collar and cuffs. No Hélas collection would be complete without a strong headwear selection, and this release is no exception with a 6 panel cap and 6 panel bucket hat, each of which feature a brown embossed leather logo badge.

The Hélas Caps Polo club Capsule Collection is available now at Flatspot and Parlour Skate Store

FUTUR Spring/Summer 2015

Following up their debut release from last season, cryptic European skate brand FUTUR present their latest offering for Spring 2015 entitled “Season O (refill)”

For many brands it takes years to build up the knowledge and experience to produce collections with certain levels of detail in their construction, quality in the design and conviction in their visuals. It seems as though FUTUR have bypassed these stages in their development, coming straight out of the blocks with considered, quality clothing and offer up something that is simplistic yet accomplished through their clean graphics and considered designs. Their latest release gives us a bit of a top up, hence the (refill), and follows on from their inaugural collection, with some familiar pieces making an appearance, as well as some new introductions. By large the latest release sticks to the theme of ‘Season 0″, all the way down to the colour treatments.

For this season, FUTUR have called upon the services of photographer Felix Schaper to capture the release around the brands Saint Honoré studio, with Parisian skater Benoit Renaux on modelling duties. The collection is comprised of  short and long sleeved tees, that utilise colour blocking on the arms as well as clean illustrative prints from artist Steven Burke as back pieces. The release is rounded off with a small selection of US made caps, all of which stick to the colour palette of Navy and White.

The FUTUR Spring 2015 collection is available now at Footpatrol.
