10.Deep Holiday 2014 Delivery One Lookbook “Town and Country”

 

10.Deep step away from the computer screens and into the great outdoors as they present their Holiday 2014 lookbook entitled “Town and Country”

Recent releases from 10.Deep have seen them draw from the tech inspired world we live in and one of the most powerful cultural influencers – the internet. Toning down the futuristic designs this season, the brand have looked down the timeline, to a time before the internet, where clothing was functional and built to last. These classic shapes would go on to set the tone for future street wear styles.

The collection is diverse with their cut and sew line taking main stage. A range of fabrics and materials including denim, cotton and mesh are used to explore different themes, from workwear to vintage hunting gear. Sportswear seems to be a continued influence on their collections, and they take inspiration from more extreme sports such as Motorcross for their latest designs.

Functionality is at the heart of this collection, with 10.Deep using their rich heritage in streetwear design to combine materials, pattern and detailing for considered, highly wearable pieces that will keep you protected from the elements.

The brands jacket and shirting options have particularly caught our eye in this release and our stand out pieces include the H14 Ranch Hand Denim Jacket in Woodland camo and Bird Dog Flannel.

The 10.Deep Holiday 2014 delivery one will be available in UK stores shortly. Be sure to check back for links!
