The brand I’m most excited about for Spring Summer is the much anticipated launch of The North Face Black Label. Drawing on the success of the elusive Japanese Purple Label it combines a streetwear aesthetic with TNF functionality creating some pure fire pieces. With a black brand sign off on the arm it separates the hype boys from the weekend dog walkers.

Obviously available at The Idle Man in February.” Thom Scherdel, TheIdle Man.

Satisfy was born to celebrate the simplicity of running. A global collective run from a Paris-based studio, Satisfy produces clothes from performance fabrics that cross-over
into everyday life; versatile enough that you could run out for a coffee, take with you when traveling or run a marathon.” Darren Skey – Head Of Menswear, Harvey Nichols.

The new brand direction aims to bring an American attitude to Europe, whilst infusing European style with American spirit. I really love this camo print jacket, as it’s perfect for layering on top of t-shirts for the Summer!”  Paul Hayes, Senior Menswear Buyer at House of Fraser

This Spring Summer at Steranko is all about Vetra, the original French
work-wear brand. They’ve been making uniforms for the French Army
since 1939. Perfect for layering in Manchester’s inclement summers –
we’ve got it coming in for both men and women.” Pete Parry, Steranko.
