Holidaze, the latest collection from Social Suicide, is not “only” supreme in quality and excessive in it’s attention to details. It’s also very playful, innovative and inspiring.
Each jackets have the same printed viscose gingham and polkadot linings that conceal chess and backgammon boards, sudoku, word search, tick-tack-toe and weiki. They pack into their own arms for travel and shoulder straps that double as score strips. They have a sunglass pocket that is lined with micofibre and closed with a magnet; a special holiday novel pocket; and a metal lined pocket that cuts your mobile’s reception for that “out of the office” feeling.
Yeah, I know.
Get one.
Bojana Borak first collection is one of those that makes me wish I could dress as a girl and get away with it. Have a look at http://www.bokicabo.com/. You can also join her on Facebook on http://www.facebook.com/bokicabo.
Now, if the luck is on my side, I might just get my hands on the above trousers. And, hopefully, get away with it.
On my two last visits in London I’ve ended up purchasing a few garments from a brand called Uniforms for the Dedicated. The Benjamin Cardigan (left), Israel Shirt (middle) and Haywood Pants (right) to be more precise.
I like clothes that are slightly quirky and that have that little extra about them. Uniforms for the Dedicated have just that.
As a pleasant surprise (but also in some ways a rather scary coincident) is that Uniforms for the Dedicated is a Swedish based collective of musicians, illustrators, designers, and more, who together form a continuously growing playground of men’s fashion, music, and various forms of art.
Sometimes the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
On my last visit to London, beginning of May, I noticed that my friend Matthew Grey, wore a pair of really nice jeans. The good news was that Social Suicide are stocking them in their store on 8 Ganton Street, London (just of Carnaby Street), so I didn’t have to go far to find them (I was already there), the bad news was that they don’t do my size…
But if you are a medium to small sized person and are looking for some rather lovely pair of jeans, check out Trousers London. Check their online shop for all available models.
