HIP HANDPICKED – James Harris – Throwing Fits
A curation of new season highlights by James Harris of Throwing Fits for HIP SS23.
“It seems these days that many people lament the sartorial times we’re in, bemoaning that with infinite access comes a flattening of aesthetic and homogenization of dress.
These people are idiots; and while, yes, some sheep will always flock to the familiar fields of their algorithmic echo chamber, I believe the current menswear landscape – which is without a dominant archetype – is ripe for opportunities to both fortify your foundation while branching out into more unchartered waters. What does that mean for me, personally?
The pants are gonna be on steroids thanks to Auralee and Needles; the textiles are going harder, whether that’s from a giant like C.P. Company that’s still innovating at half a century or the mad genius of Angelo Urrutia of 4SDesigns; and I’m investing in the timeless and quietly elegant basics we will always need from labels like Paraboot.”
Event Recap: An Evening With Adish At HIP Leeds
Last week saw HIP host An Evening With Adish At HIP Leeds – to celebrate Adish SS23 Collection ‘Common Goals’ with a live discussion with Amit Luzon and Eyal Eliyahu from Adish. The discussion and Adish SS23 collection showcase was complimented with food by Patels Pies and drinks by Amity Brew Co.
Adish is an Israeli-Palestinian brand launched in 2018 that uses clothing as a medium to spread awareness about sociopolitical issues and celebrate local cultures. ADISH empowers Palestinian craftswomen, working with them to create beautiful hand-stitched tatreez (Arabic for embroidery) used across contemporary garments. Each Adish piece is filled with sentiment, sewn with the location where it was embroidered and the name of the women’s embroidery group that produced the tatreez.
