Still Fresh after 25 years – The Boxfresh 25 Collection

image25 years, a Silver anniversary is something to shout about and make a fuss over and to celebrate this landmark event, one of the UK’s best loved streetwear brands, Boxfresh will launch a limited edition, capsule collection entitled ‘25’.

The brand began life with a market stall in Camden, North London in 1989 with a range of contemporary graphics printed onto vintage t-shirts. These garments were picked up quickly and became a staple amongst music artists and creative talent across the capital.

imageThe collections that celebrates this monumental year will include 12 pieces of apparel and four footwear styles featuring the ‘QUARTER’ graphic on all t-shirts and sweats and as a label inside each product. The graphic represents not only a quarter of a century but also highlights Boxfresh’s US sport and street inspirations. When Boxfresh originally began, it was a store in London which sold exclusive American brands such as Carhartt and Penfield. ‘25’ celebrates this early heritage but brings a European sophistication to it.

In this collection, Boxfresh has also explored new areas in cut. Fits are are looser and oversized with longer length tees and shirts with extended tails and sweats, using super heavy weight loopback fabric. There are jackets with technical qualities and reflective 3M is featured throughout the pieces.

Spring 2013 Preview

As stores start to get in their new Spring 2013 ranges and as the weathermen start to inform us of blizzards and freezing conditions. I thought I’d try and lighten the mood and give us something to look forward to. In the last couple of months of 2012, I was lucky enough to have a preview of countless apparel’s brands Spring /Summer collections for this forthcoming season from high end designer to high street brands. So I thought I’d give you a sneak preview, but keep it to yourself 😉 ENJOY.

I can honestly say Camouflage HAS to be one of the biggest menswear trends for Spring 13 and this shirt from Addict is a great way of saying it. I have an idea this isn’t the last we’ll see of camo pieces.

A brand we haven’t heard to much from in this country for a while is J.Lindeberg. Well its well worth taking another look at them. The collection for Spring is amazing, this rucksack was a personal have but the burgundy tux and the tweed suits were worth smashing the piggy bank opening for !
