Rip N Dip Fall 2016 Collection

Posted on by bythelevel

 


 Florida natives Rip N Dip have come through with another extensive, cat centric collection this season, made up of several skate-ready, staples ready for the colder months on the south coast of the USA.

Again taking a unique, playful approach towards their designs, which has made the brands previous collections so popular, we see Rip N Dip introduce new tongue-in-cheek designs alongside their more familiar Lord Nermal and Alien designs. Although there are select pieces featuring bolder patterns and tie dye treatments, the majority of the release features more of a subtle colour palette to match the season, applied across tees, long sleeves, hoodies and sweaters. The brands outerwear selection has expanded to include coach jackets, patchwork varsity styles and robust work jackets, while the release is rounded off with a strong dad hat selection and a range of accessories including umbrellas, socks and stickers, as well as three new deck graphics. 

You can pick up the latest collection from Rip N Dip in select retailers now including Flatspot and Note Shop

Brain Dead Drop Five – Mondo

Posted on by bythelevel

 

Creative collective Brain Dead have unveiled their 5th collection, which has dropped in UK stores and online now, again drawing from numerous obscure references for a refreshing approach towards the graphic lead staples.  

 Dubbed "Mondo" which takes inspiration from the controversial 60's documentary Mondo Cane, the collection pulls elements from skate and surf culture, old punk aesthetics, classic cartoons and more specific themes such as shokushu goukan - Japanese tentacle erotica, with bold graphics translated on to tees, long sleeves and tote bags. Alongside the more familiar logo graphic pieces which features throughout, the release is bulked out with a considered selection of cut & sew, featuring the Japanese inspired Noragi chore coat, and two patterned short sleeve shirts which feature the artwork of Jen Shear. Rounding of the collection is a small headwear range made up of embroidered 6 panels and mesh truckers, as well as printed tote bags and sticker collection.

 The latest collection from Brain Dead is available over on the brands online store as well as selected UK retailers including Goodhood and Garbstore.

East meets West in Only NY X Less A/W Capsule

Posted on by George Metcalf

East and West Meet in Only NY and Less A/W Capsule

 

 Only NY are teaming up with Taiwanese street-wear boutique Less for a ramen inspired Autumn/Winter range.

 With New York being such a multi-cultural city it makes sense for this cross continent collaboration to blend aesthetics from Western and Eastern culture. Both brands have pulled inspiration from the ancient Taiwanese city of Tainan, more specifically from the famous Ta-a noodles that originated in the city. This Eastern influence is a big part of the capsule, which features a printed crew-neck pocket tee, both of which come in blue and white colour options, and a washed black polo cap with embroidered detailing.

 Unfortunately the collab won't be available to pick up in the UK, but if you're willing to fork out on the shipping costs you can pick it up from Less stores early October!

Butter Goods Showcase Impressive SP16 Collection

Posted on by George Metcalf

 

Australian skate brand Butter Goods have recently released some impressive visuals for their Spring 2016 range.

 The look-book is shot in the brand’s hometown of Perth and features some incredibly clean designs; mixing familair silhouettes alongside some newly introduced graphics, translated on to staple styles such as hoodies, polo caps, and crewnecks. Although the collection has been produced with Australian Spring in mind, most items could easily be carried through in to a UK Autumn, sticking to a simplistic colour palette throughout and keeping logo styles minimal. 

This collection is available now over at Butter Goods online store so you can expect the release to be landing at UK retailers shortly.
