Aknowledge is a premiere young men’s lifestyle collection that defines the convergence in the landscape between street, skate, contemporary and traditional. This global male acknowledges the key elements of dressing smart and uniquely bases his own wardrobe on the new essentials which consistently tie back to denim.

The premium collection is based on 6 key pieces with a strong price value quotient: The clean slim v or graphic statement cotton t-shirt, the classic chambray woven, high quality original denim, aggressive denim washes, the denim jacket and the trend driven sophisticated jacket. The denim pants have two fits: The Newton which is a low-rise straight leg and The Galileo which is a low rise slim.

WE LOVE: A.D. Deertz

Mon, Feb 8, 2010

0 Comments

A.D.Deertz ( aka ADD ) was founded in 2000 by Wibke Deertz who managed to establish the fashion label as a brand that caters to a crowd that has a keen eye on fashion but refuses to make too much of a fuzz about it.

Commencing the upcoming fall winter collection 2009/2010 Deertz decided to make the shift from a unisex concept  to an all menswear line.

The shift to a menswear line is only consistent, as ADD has built a reputation in avoiding short cuts and dispensable gimmicks, while focusing on the subtleties of its collection. By blending qualitatively-high yet simple fabrics with unpretentious styles A.D.Deertz inadvertently defines urban trends.

DENIM PROFILE: KUYICHI

Kuyichi brings a 100% sustainable collection for Spring/Summer 2010! Known for being the first jeans brand to introduce organic cotton into the fashion industry, Kuyichi launches new sustainable concepts season after season.

K_1001_STUDIO_037

SUSTAINABLE CONCEPTS

Next to organic cotton, recycled PET takes up a leading role within the new collection. Besides jackets and T-shirts, Kuyichi introduces the first jeans made from recycled Polyester bottles…the same ones you drink your soda from! This denim is available as women’s style Lisette (bell bottom). Other sustainable concepts are: organic cotton, hemp, lenpur, linen, spare and recycled cotton.

WASHES

Kuyichi Pure Denim offers a wide range of washes. Colours vary from super light (Sunbleached blu/ Public blu) till dark (Intense blu/Dry linen), but the most important ones are the super light and mid colours (Aged & Wrinkled blu/ Worn and washed Steel). Next to this we have two green cast styles: Hemp Leaf Blu and Algae Hemp Blue, both offered in hemp fabric.

K_1001_STUDIO_19

FITS

The trend of loose fits continues this season. Kuyichi’s successful boyfriend fit Gem – introduced last season – has lined stripy turn-ups for a 90’s edge. Other essential Pure Denim styles for women are Chloe – oversized hot pant, Kay – the new mid thigh mini skirt and Stevie – a fitted denim jacket with a heavy vintage wash. Bestsellers like Lisa, Neneh, Candy and Lil complete the wide range of women fits.

For men, there are new styles Mike (regular tapered fit with chambray turn up details), Patrick (loose tapered fit with zip pockets) and Andy (authentic slim fit). For a total denim look, western shirt Clint and denim trucker jacket Jack complete the men’s Pure Denim range.

KUYICHI

In the year 2000, Dutch NGO Solidaridad started developing organic cotton in Peru and introducing it to the fashion industry. None of the big denim brands is interested in using organic cotton. Solidaridad therefore decided to start its own brand. Kuyichi, a style_conscious jeansbrand is launched in 2001, based in the Netherlands. Since the launch Kuyichi has rapidly expanded and is now represented in more than 500 leading stores across Europe. In 2010 Kuyichi will open two of its own concept-stores in the Netherlands and France together with a number of concessions corners in major department stores in the UK, Germany and Belgium.

Fashion Profile: COLD METHOD

COLDMETHODLOGO

“To offer affordable luxury to a broad audience of men worldwide. By creating collections based on CM’s core concept of the 9 aesthetics, covering the different aspects of a man’s appearance and lifestyle”

THE 9 AESTHETICS

What men need is a capsule wardrobe with a limited number of essential pieces that create a sophisticated look for everyday. This tool is the basic philosophy of every COLD METHOD Collection.

T-SHIRT

A T-shirt should feel like a second skin emphasising a man’s torso, making him feel confident, comfortable and relaxed.

DENIM

Denim reflects your life by the daily wear and tear. Find the right fit, quality and wash and you’ll be automatically perceived as a man with attitude.

SHIRT

A great shirt is all about construction. Perfect tailoring with a smattering of understated details is the answer to a killer silhouette.

KNITWEAR

A man’s knitwear adds lashings of luxury to his wardrobe and is truly a cameleon, adaptable to all occasions. Made of the finest yarns, it adds an individuality that you don’t get from any other item.

PANTS

Don’t miss the point with pants, your daily necessity! The rest of your efforts will have been wasted if your pants don’t complete your look.

SUIT

A suit is a man’s armour. A sharp cut and fiendish fabric will make you look like the most successful man in the room.

COAT

A coat is your protective outer shell and needs to be eye-catching. It is the garment that will make or break your first impression.

ACCESSORY

An accessory should accentuate your mood. It speaks volumes about the man without saying a word.

CM2

A domain defined by the reflection of a man’s character, choices and charisma. Any time any place.

FASHION PROFILE: Imaginary People

ImaginaryPeople Logo

Telo Dunne and Olivia Shanks both met soon after moving to Chicago in 1995 and have been inseparable ever since. For over ten years the ladies have worked tirelessly in the music, fashion, modeling and nightlife industries, all the while maintaining a feverish pace of extra-curricular debauchery as well as the occasional yoga class.

It’s this type of diverse and active lifestyle as well as a desire to always look subtly fabulous that lends itself to the versatility, wear-ability and simple elegance of the garments they produce.

Whether they are re-inventing a wardrobe basic or crafting a new staple, Imaginary People hopes to create beautiful pieces you love to reach for, timeless enough to transcend seasons.

FASHION PROFILE: FARAH CLOTHING

Mon, Feb 1, 2010

0 Comments

THE FARAH BRAND WAS BORN IN THE 1920S BUT IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE 1970S IN THE UK THAT IT REACHED THE CULT STATUS IT HOLDS TODAY.

THE ORIGINAL FARAH SLACK MADE FROM HOPSACK CANVAS BECAME AN IMMEDIATE HIT WITH THE YOUTH OF BRITAIN: SLIM CUT, SHARPLY TAILORED AND FEATURING STAIN RESISTANT TECHNOLOGY, THE TROUSER WAS UNLIKE ANYTHING AVAILABLE AT THE TIME.

MOMENTUM FOR THE BRAND GREW AND IN THE 1980S FARAH BECAME A MUST HAVE LABEL AMONGST FASHION SAVVY HIPSTERS, INCLUDING THE MODS, SKINS, STICKSMEN AND ROCKER-BILLYS. SEEN ON THE BALCONIES AT GIGS ACROSS THE UK MUSIC SCENE, EACH GROUP INTERPRETED THE BRAND WITHIN THEIR OWN STYLE, BUILDING KEY FARAH ITEMS INTO WHAT BECAME THEIR DEFINITIVE LOOKS. THE CLOTHES CAME TO REPRESENT A SENSE OF ELITISM WHILE GENERATING RESPECT FOR THOSE WHO DISPLAYED THE NOW FAMOUS “FARAH F TAB”. 

TODAY THE FARAH LABEL STILL HOLDS THE HERITAGE AND VIGOUR IT STOOD FOR THEN. A WHOLE NEW GENERATION OF MEN THROUGHOUT THE WORLD ARE DRAWN TO THE BRAND’S HISTORY AND INSPIRED TO REDISCOVER THE DISTINCT LOOK FOR THEMSELVES.
