Every day I browse the net looking for interesting and nice things. I do this like the rest of us, because I enjoy it and to kill some time (especially when the summer weather has taken a turn for the worst now, seriously wet in the north). I take a look at my many bookmarks in clothing, footwear, homeware, some arty stuff and the daily news. Other than social networks that's pretty much it, so when I saw a link to a menswear collection from Charlotte I naturally gave it a click.
I was hit with the A/W collection from Scotch & Soda, a brand that I've heard of for a a while but one that tends to pass me by like a lot of them. I was pleasantly surprised by their latest lookbook, in fact I liked it all, the styling, photography and just the general feel. It's clear to see what they were aiming at and it sends a strong message of manliness, active lifestyle, intelligence and playfulness.
The collection revolves around denim, with plenty of heavyweight outerwear, layering and accessories in carefully chosen fabrics and colours. There's not much more too it, it's all pretty un-fussy and easily thrown together. It wouldn't look like this on everyone though, if I got my hands on the collection I wouldn't look as manly but I can sure give it a go. My personal favourite look is the first image, add that with the wicked bike and you're on to a winner. I'm getting more into ties at the moment and the pattern on this is instantly reminds me of Paul Smith and his love of cycling.

I really like these. Especially the red cap + the vest.

HAHAHAH omg the second the top pic flashed up on my screen I did a little yelp cos I thought you'd grown a massive beard overnight!
ReplyDeleteTell you what, you're right there, I think they're all really nice, actually - although worryingly probably the kind of thing I'd buy then look terrible in x
ReplyDeleteYou're right this brand looks great! The pictures look nice as well! ^-^
ReplyDeleteyeah, pretty much reminds me of paul smith but this is more masculine and outdoorsy. and i'm sure it had you on the photo with the bicycle.

At first I thought you took these and it was a follow on from your Scottish trip. But no. These are wonderful shots indeed and exude a gentle cool. Xxxx
ReplyDeleteThese photographs are really something, I like the whole 'lifestyle' feel vibe they have. Really relaxed and cool.
ReplyDeleteHaha those really are classic Moss lines! I love the episode where Moss used the staff toilet and ends up behind the bar haha. The emgencey number advert is also pure genius.
Ah Orlando sounds great, interesting snippet of info about the spanish invading too. I bet it looks stunning. I like checking out arty stuff too, I find Contemporary art daily (http://www.contemporaryartdaily.com/) really interesting and also New Art (http://www.lostateminor.com/category/art) - you can discover so many talented artists there!
