Clarks Originals x Le Fix

Clarks love a good collaboration and this season sees them join forces with Copenhagen based Le Fix to produce this latest iteration of their classic Desert Boot.

Le Fix are known for their love of art and creativity and possess that distinct Scandinavian style which can be seen in this re-imagined design.

Featured in petrol suede, this rework has a leather heel and sits on the classic crepe sole. The contrasting red stitching and tri coloured heel tab giving that all important finishing touch.

Edwin x The Hip Store at Headrow House

1470768500-headrow-house-edwin-2

Earlier this month we joined forces with our friends at Edwin  to throw a little party at Headrow House in celebration of the first Friday of the month, any excuse right?

With Greg Wilson and Everton providing the soundtrack to the night, we all had a great time sipping our very own “Takayama Blue” cocktail made with Brockmans Gin, Elderflower liqueur, lemon and thyme gomme and blueberries.

Thanks to everyone who made it down, we’re looking forward to the next one already.

Photography

You’d expect Instagram to be every photographers dream but this isn’t always the case. It can be very difficult to get your style across on this social platform… it’s not just about taking a nice picture of a sunset and tagging it #nofilter you know.

That being said, @gess8 is one of the most visually outstanding Instagram accounts we have ever come across.

Probably the strangest of our choices is @darias88. A graphic designer from Columbia Daniel Aristizábal’s creations are always bright, fun if not a little out there.

Universal Works AW16

01 (2) NEW

Autumn is fast approaching and that can mean only one thing, layering.

Luckily for us, the design team at Universal Works recognise this need and their AW16 collection showcases that perfectly.

In the town where Universal Works was born the changing of the season is marked by a traveling fair coming to town, a tradition which has been alive and well for over 700 years.

The latest collection takes its inspiration from that very same fair, the atmosphere that goes with it and the characters who dominate it.

A perfect combination of dark tones, sophisticated fabrics and strong styling, the collection features some key pieces and some well loved classics re-imagined for the coming season.
