Bickley + Mitchell
BICKLEY + MITCHELL The strength in differences The Amsterdam based fashion brand BICKLEY + MITCHELL was founded in 2011 by a small group of creatives in fashion and beyond, and is specialized in knitwear products for women and men.
The all year focus is on the INDIGO items. These items are denim related and some are made with real cotton indigo. Rich qualities are combined with innovative and different knits, but always easy to combine with your wardrobe.
The brand is built upon the philosophy that we’re all unique and that strength lies in differences, not in similarities. The main notion: never conform to mass trends and everyday norm!
Bickley and Mitchell CV BICKLEY + MITCHELL strives to close the gap between fashion and function. As true knit addicts, they are putting knitwear back on the map in an innovative and new manner. Their creations are inspired by tradition, quality and experience. The designs of their hats, scarves, gloves and socks are trend proof and can be worn for years to come. The BICKLEY + MITCHELL AW15 collection is grouped around four themes for women and four themes for men, such as Winter nomads, City dandy and Future sport. Main colours used are black, linen, grey meleé, light pink, sand, navy, indigo, army and burgundy. Accent colours are steelblue, seagreen and plumpurple.

campus
CAMPUS Your life is your campus. [def. Cam |pus: Place, where people meet, where anything new will be created.] CAMPUS is a time-intellectual style, which is characterized by natural and authentic looks, never overdone and enacted, always independent and modern. Therefore the DNA of the brand is style-defined as the college campus lifestyle. The original CAMPUS cult piece, a Crew Neck-Sweatshirt with CAMPUS branding is the red thread in every collection. Their naturalness makes CAMPUS outfits favourite wardrobe pieces. The brand name CAMPUS is an inherent part of the brand’s identity. Thereby the brand does not focus on the geographical part of the university‘s student life but on the personal comfort zone of each individual. The result of this fusion is the slogan: “YOURLIFEISYOURCAMPUS”. Whether private, work life, hobby, travelling or the fashionable style, everyone is responsible to design its own “CAMPUS”. The colour scheme of the CAMPUS FW 2015/16 collection consists of the topics Seattle (blue-green dark winter colors), Edmonton (medium spice and earthy tones), and Napa Valley (dark berry tones and graphite)
These are combined with mean grey mélange, anthracite and black, which rigorously define the sporty, urban and weekend leisure-character of the CAMPUS code. Placed graphic prints, minimal designs, Dotoflage-all-over prints and seasonal colour highlights such as rust-orange, camel, olive, pacific blue and mint complement the overall picture.

care label
Care label: Care, respect, ethics. The 2007 meeting of long-time denim expert Leopoldo Durante, marketing & sales expert Enrico Gallo and Lapo Elkann, authentic interceptor of innovation, gave rise to the creation of the Care label project and We Care srl, the company owning the brand. The name Care label plays on the dual meaning of a „careful“ brand and a „care“ label. Care here refers to the care in the search for the best utility selvage denim and the other materials used, as well as to attention and respect for the end buyers who, by wearing them day by day, will mould the jeans to their own bodies and make them unique. The name also refers to the Care label’s attention to details such as the silk-screen printing for logos and washing labels, or the pure copper buttons that over time oxidize to reveal the Care label cotton flower logo. Care label does not focus on a highly visible, ostentatious logo or trademark: in some of the collection’s models, the label on the back is covered by a ribbed paper patch, and the Care label mark shows up only after prolonged wear or a few machine washes, when the paper comes away to reveal the three-layer jacron label. This is why every model of the collection is a story to be told, whose tale is decided by the person wearing it: the carelabelist, who will interpret its values: care, respect, ethics.
Care label’s European Denim Line is a blend of tradition and innovation, a new direction resulting from a fusion of different cultures, where the word “Line” stands for a line of thought and conduct, as well as the selvage line which is the distinguishing feature of the brand shown on the right back pocket and fifth pocket.

denham the jeanmaker
Denham - Nomadic spirit Denham was founded in Amsterdam in 2008 by Englishman and internationally respected jeanmaker Jason Denham. Collections include a full range of styles for women and men across both tops and bottom categories, but the brand’s core is firmly rooted in the premium denim segment. THE TRUTH IS IN THE DETAILS: The 5-pocket range expresses a refined modernist sensibility and features an impressive array of signature details and subtle construction innovations. But Denham’s real distinction comes from the brand’s dedication to reproducing completely natural wear-patterns and laundry techniques characterized by the careful balance of high and low fade-tones and three- dimensional aging processes. WORSHIP TRADITION – DESTROY CONVENTION: Denham’s seasonal collections of jackets, knits, shirts and jersey are distinguished by their unique use of vintage research and their original blend of contemporary design refinement while always maintaining a deeply authentic jeans attitude. Inspiration for Winter 2015 are winter nomads: Mongolian tribes of the Nomadic empires from Central or Inner Asia: traditionally bow-wielding, horse- riding nomads who integrate modern elements and contemporary components within an otherwise ancient lifestyle. Denham captures this nomadic spirit by mixing elements of nomadic layering patchwork and quilting and utilitarian repair with sport accents, and by combining wool coatings with chunky graphic knits complimented by tumbled sheepskins, sand washed silks and contrasting combinations of textiles. The colour focus is on deep evocative indigo. Blue tones from dark navy to kendo-blue, through indigo and on to bright dome-blues of
the winter sky combined with shades of grey, natural ecru, army green and camel harmonize the underlying contrasts for a unified overall atmosphere.

Drake’s London
Drake’s London Style, comfort, and quality have always been the hallmarks of a gentleman´s wardrobe. A beautifully tailored suit, a perfect shirt and benchmade shoes send a message of natural assurance. But it doesn´t matter who your tailor is or how beautifully your suit has been cut, you will not be well dressed without paying attention to some rather simple details. The small consideration, the subtle element, the fine points really do matter. This is the vision and philosophy of Drake´s. Founded in 1977 by Michael Drake, the original Drake´s collection was comprised of men´s quality scarves. A range of English handmade ties and pocket squares quickly followed, which swiftly became the heart and soul of the business. Until today, all ties continue to be entirely handmade in London´s East End, on Haberdasher Street. The dedication and constant attention to detail that is given to the product is never compromised and truly sets Drake´s apart in this age of numbingly ordinary and the quaintly redone. The Drake´s style, beginning with refined English discrimination, has evolved with a touch of consummate French chic and a nod to Italians for abundant sense of style and colour. This aesthetic represents a vision of how English style is perceived to be, rather than the reality which today is all often less inspiring.

DUKES Finest Artisan Life is a circus The average gives the world its durability. The unusual its value. (Oscar Wilde)
BAROQUE CIRCUS collection: The circus has been a place for acceptance and representation in every century. It changes physically, but its values remain the same: „Life is a circus“! BAROQUE CIRCUS draws inspiration from the 19th century; a tribute to the Montgolfier Brothers and the French Revolution. Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité!
DUKES Finest Artisan has manufactured premium hand-made leather accessories and bags since 2008. The pieces impress with their special design, high artisanal quality and inimitability. Original vintage basics and finest vegetable-tanned leather are extravagantly finished by hand and turned into unique pieces of art with a tangible character. Ursula Klein and Michael Herzog, the founders of Dukes Finest Artisan, have created and cultivated this philosophy. Their original vintage leather products come from a global network of vintage aficionados, from Los Angeles to Budapest. Rare and precious pieces, selected mainly from old military stocks and vintage markets, are cleaned and treated with natural oils and lotions and, finally, receive their exquisite artisanal and artistic touch. For the Classic Collection, DUKES uses vegetable tanned leather from Austria, Germany and Italy. According to traditional craftsmanship, the leather is embossed by hand, studded, decorated with exotic leather and painted by the most sophisticated artists (former Viennese Augarten porcelain painters). Contemporary historical topics, native tribes, ethnic motifs, folklore, pop and street art serve as sources of inspiration for the pieces and are matched with each other in the DUKES collections.

freitag F-Abric
FREITAG F-ABRIC THE FABRIC OF THE FUTURE MADE FROM FORGOTTEN PLANT FIBERS The idea of a durable fabric that is completely compostable and produced in Europe from European crops may sound like wishful thinking, but in fact it is the latest pitch from the Freitag brothers. Twenty years after Daniel and Markus Freitag gave new life to old truck tarps, FREITAG has created an all-new, biodegradable textile, that is produced in Europe. Markus and Daniel were looking for suitable workwear for their employees, but then they realized what they were looking for didn’t exist – a tough, sustainably produced and compostable material made in Europe. So they decided to develop their own textiles starting from the fiber up that would fulfill their requirements 100 % – and decided to call them FABRIC. The materials are made of the bast fibers hemp and flax as well as Modal, all of which are resources that are grown on European soil and do not harm it or require excessive amounts of water to grow. Compared to the production processes of more common textiles, the journey from fiber to finished product is just a short trip for F-ABRIC, since all of the production stages take place within a 2500-kilometer radius from the factory in Zurich. Anyone who has to sorrowfully say goodbye to their F-ABRIC product after many happy years together doesn’t have to toss it in the trash, but
rather on the compost pile. F-ABRIC textiles are 100 % naturally biodegradable – including threads and selvage. A piece of clothing thus becomes fertile soil for new raw materials and the cycle continues. The material of the future made from long-forgotten bast fibers is now available at selected stores: as a Workpant, Workdress, T-Shirt, Longsleeve and Concept Bag.

GABRIELE PASINI
A CLASSIC SPIRIT The Gabriele Pasini fall winter 2015/2016 collection captures a classic spirit, imbuing it with a fresh twist thanks to a playful re-visitation of detailing and a novel idea of color/pattern/fabric mixing. All for coats, jackets and knits. From classic to semi casual to cocktail looks, a wide array of styles reflects the true essence of the Gabriele Pasini man. Soft textured fabrics add definition both to classic three-piece suits in saxony wool and to jacquard coats with contrast casentino lapels. The palette goes from dark blue to shades of grey, all the way to white and black, making the most of these hues in a selection of madras and macro plaid shetland jackets with bouclé piping where flecks of orange and green heighten the appeal. With a subtle nod to the female fashion universe, animal prints – leopard spot and zebra stripe effects – give the line a unique and distinctive flair this season. Meanwhile the denim project moves forward with leather jackets, studding on shoulders, to sport over faux-vintage jeans and jacquard shirts. Completing the collection is a series of soft wool ponchos, plus a new shoe with wedge sole in fluo white, green or yellow tones reminiscent of tennis balls from past times.

The Gloverall brand has gained truly iconic status as a design classic.
The complete collection also includes a range of casual utility shirts with faint echoes of the 1950’s alongside a beautifully executed selection of Aran and Guernsey knits, Fair isle and striped options as well as a crewneck knit emblazoned with the collection’s 1951 slogan.
Launching for AW 15, the Made in England ‘51 Collection delivers a modernist reinterpretation of archive-inspired moments for men and women each season. It takes a contemporary look at historically significant sporting stories associated with Gloverall. The inaugural AW ’15 collection takes its lead from a set of black-andwhite photographs chronicling the early days of the British Grand Prix in the 1950’s: an era when style, talent and celebrity were inextricably intertwined. AW’15 makes a contemporary reevaluation of the Monty duffle coat, updating the classic boiled wool style featuring appliqué racing-inspired motifs and pins. Additional outerwear highlights are all-weather raincoats, sporty mid-length car coats, a tailored sports blazer, a quilted rally jacket, a wadded parka and the race-inspired Paddock jacket. Premium British fabrics are prominent. Tweeds from Abraham Moon, Fox Brothers and Harris Tweed feature alongside waxed cottons by Halley Stevens and bonded cottons by British Millerain. Elsewhere in the collection, Brisbane moss cottons, corduroys and Italian-sourced melton wool share the spotlight with water- and wind-resistant technical cloths. The AW ’15 colour palette is led by navy blue, charcoal grey and midnight black punctuated by shades of khaki, tan and pillar-box red.

indigo people
INDIGO PEOPLE Homage to artisans In our western consumption society, where products are made increasingly faster, cheaper and more mechanized, authentic handicrafts and their artisans are faced with extinction. At the same time, there is a group of conscious consumers with an increasing appreciation for artisanal craftsmanship. Indigo People was born out of love for traditional craftsmanship and the beauty of natural indigo. The brand is an homage to the artisans who keep up their heritage and to people with a great affection for authentic handicrafts. By combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, Indigo People creates a unique collection of scarfs for indigo lovers. On a journey to the Far East the founders of Indigo People met groups of master weavers who have been processing cotton for generations. They spin the raw cotton into weaving yarns and dye them in natural indigo following a traditional, very labor intensive method. These indigo blue yarns are then manually woven into textile. The handcrafted textile is very suitable for scarfs and shows a beauty that is raw and timeless. Indigo people works with different artisan communities, each with its own specialization in weaving technique such as ‘ikat’, ‘open weave’ and ‘4-grill’. This production method can result in little imperfections. The beauty of these imperfections gives each product its unique appearance. The main material is based on unbleached and unprocessed cotton. The raw cotton is manually spun, which results in unevenness in the yarns. These little nubs in the weaving yarns give the product a natural and rugged look. When the scarfs are more worn, the cotton fiber will get more flexible and gain even more softness. In some products the cotton fiber is combined with silk to increase the wearer’s comfort and to give the product a subtle shine.

and which mirrors the island’s labyrinth of stone fences. Associated with it are the Beairtíní / Little bundles, Blackberry and the Floating Moss patterns which again reflect the structure of the stone walls and fences — the formal dress-wear, highly decorated Aran patterns are well represented in the AW2015 collection also.
The collections that Inis Meáin designs are inspired by the traditional dress of the islanders and our environment — with a touch of luxury. The rugged outdoor island lifestyle calls for practical, quality clothing, along with this the islanders always had a sense of style. For Autumn / Winter 15, Inis Meáin is continuing to take inspiration from the archive of simple Aran work-wear. This season introduces a whole new range of colours in Wool, Wool/Cashmere and Baby Alpaca/Silk blends together with marls of Donegals and Donegal/Wool blends . While the Aran workwear garments were always in natural undyed offwhites browns and greys, the other main colour was imported indigo (called plúirín locally). Then there were always some striking bright colours in islander dress set against the grey limestone and the blue green sea, usually combining locally grown Rose Madder (mádar) with green and yellow from the wild flowers to make the islander crios (pron.kris) or belt for men, and the bright crocheted shawl most commonly worn by the women. This season also sees a continuation of the Claíochaí (Stone Fences) pattern which Inis Meáin developed and introduced in the AW14 collection,

JAPAN BLUE considers all four processes and creates a fabric best suited at that time. Visible design, or silhouettes, are kept extremely simple,yet contemporary. We would like you to look, without prejudice, at the materials, how they develop over time... denim can’t be described in one word, there are too many characteristics such as heavy vs light fabric, soft vs hard cotton, light vs dark dye, and so on... Our mission is to make a jeans you like, it is your mission to create something beautiful by simply wearing it and to discover the differences of each material used for each JAPAN BLUE JEAN.

K.O.I – kings of indigo
K.O.I – Kings of Indigo Kings of Indigo (K.O.I) makes quality denims, tops and accessories inspired by American classics with a Japanese eye for detail; All Kings of Indigo items are designed to last long: quality wear for the next era. Every garment is made with a conscience; the Kings use innovative and sustainable production techniques where they can. The name K.O.I came from founder Tony Tonnaer’s favorite tattoo, a koi fish on his right shoulder in remembrance of his mother. Koi fish are intelligent creatures and they tend to swim against the stream, which is a strong metaphor for the rebellion that comes with a denim lifestyle. In Japan the Koi stands for luck, love and perseverance. The abbreviation K.O.I became Kings of Indigo at a Kings of Convenience concert in Paradiso, Amsterdam. All Kings of Indigo styles are named after Kings and Queens from the past, keeping their blue blood pumping. In January 2012 the first collection hit stores. The Kings launched a small denim inspired collection with character, quality and sustainable innovation as key features. The brand slowly but surely started to claim its place in the denim landscape and also adding apparel and accessories to the collections. The Kings keep innovation and craftsmanship close to their core. Innovation in fabrics and production methods and authenticity in pure hand dyed natural indigo items. The apparel collection is growing with embroidered denim jackets, new outerwear, chunky knits, sailor tattoo prints and kimono inspired jumpsuits. In bottoms vintage inspired washes and dry
selvage in different shades set the tone. Last but not least the Kings are introducing the Royal Core program, denims for men and women in classic washes that are always available.

Nigel Cabourn
Nigel Cabourn 60th Anniversary of an amazing feat Hailed as a cult British designer, Nigel Cabourn has worked in the industry for over forty years producing collections, which are not influenced by ‘fashion’ trends but driven by inspirational stories of real people in history and vintage military, outdoor and work wear pieces. His aim to create a brand that celebrates the best of British has been realized with his Authentic line, launched in 2003, which uses quality heritage fabrics and is produced in British factories to the highest standards and craftsmanship. The Mainline Collection, designed by Nigel for the Japanese market, is driven by his appreciation of innovative Japanese fabrics and production techniques, yet still complimenting the philosophy of the Authentic Collection. To this day, Nigel remains the hands-on driving force behind the Nigel Cabourn brands – Authentic and Mainline - working closely with his design and production teams and various collaborators to produce around 18 collections each year. Between 1955 and 1958, two teams of explorers, one headed up by Sir Vivian Fuchs and the other team headed up by Sir Edmund Hillary, set off to cross Antarctica from the North and South Points meeting in the middle in January 1958.
The Authentic Collection for 2015 is based on celebrating the 60th Anniversary of this amazing epic feat, using colours of RAF Grey, RAF Blue, Black Navy, Vintage Orange and Military Khaki. The fabric used is 100% Cotton Ventile fabric in the L28 Ventile version, which is 300g in weight and the original quality. It is highly wind-and waterproof. New introduction: “The Antarctic Parka”, made in the new L28 Ventile with extra length and with a new 60th Anniversary Label. All clothing on display is developed and made in Britain.

Pantherella
Pantherella Pantherella was founded in 1937 by Louis Goldschmidt, a hosiery pioneer that wanted to design lightweight and seamless men’s socks. In 1945 the Pantherella name was registered as demand for the innovative men’s socks was colossal. In 1952 the production of women’s socks was closed down in order to focus solely on the ever increasing popularity of Pantherella’s men’s hosiery. During the early 1990´s, the iconic British brand Burberry purchased Pantherella, cementing the success and British heritage of Pantherella. Then in 2001 Pantherella became part of the H J Sock Group, a fellow British hosiery company with over 125 years of heritage and experience. Still family owned, the H J Sock Group is now in its 5th generation of sock makers. The amalgamation of these two iconic British hosiery brands has resulted in the largest UK based sock manufacturers. In 2005 women’s socks were reintroduced, before two years later - in 2007 - the brand was further strengthened by the purchase of Scott-Nichol, the casual leisure sock brand. Pantherella has recently celebrated its 75th anniversary and has made its debut into the world of ecommerce.

Paolo Vitale Handmade in Italy Artisan Excellence since 1996 The first step of Paolo Vitale’s production concerns the choice of raw materials which are carefully selected and cut. Each section is dyed (following the immersion process or using common buffers) and then washed. Later each part is dried at room-temperature: The main aim is not to dehydrate the leather.
N.Klauser TextilvertriebsgesellschaftmbH Anna Thoben - Sales a.thoben@modeagentur-klauser.de
The dyes used by Paolo Vitale are exclusive because they are handmade internally, in collaboration with chemists and technicians. Each section has its own perfection process as the polishing system (thanks to different waxes or nutritious creams) or the hot ironing process to fix and intensify the colour, increase the resistance and mitigate the shadings. All Paolo Vitale’s procedures are completely homemade and handmade.

ten c
Ten c Timeless and special The name Ten c derives from by Hans Christian Andersen’s tale „The emperor’s new Clothes“. A new interpretation of the fairy tale: For Ten c, it is not the obvious that counts, but the true and subtle, far from what media or trends dictate. This is why Ten c jackets do not feature any kind of labels, etiquettes or logos inside or out. The focus is on the jacket itself. Timeless, iconic jackets that become one with their wearer. It is the wearer who defines the piece and not its label. Each Ten c jacket becomes different, for because each wearer is different. The Ten c collection consists of basics that are available every season, but are frequently enriched by new arrivals. These basics are: the Field jacket, the Parka, the Short Parka, the Raincoat, the Snow Smock, the Drill jacket, and the Car jacket and the Wind shirt. Ten c newly defines the term jacket. There are no unnecessary parts, just the jacket and its wearer. The incomparable high tech Ten c fabric is unique worldwide and protects the wearer like a second skin all year long. This very special Japanese fabric was developed exclusively for Ten c and is breathable and water-repellent. In winter, the Ten c jacket is equipped with a lining, such as the Shearling or the Down Liner, and a hood (Wool Hood Felt or Shearling Hood). The Ten c collections are designed by Alessandro Pungetti and Paul Harvey, and are 100% made in Italy.

Zacasha
ZACASHA The Story Behind The Tassels Once upon a time on the mystical island of Bali, the Zacasha collection was born … Ten years ago, Zacasha designer Jennifer Belcourt, after years of living and travelling in Asia, settled in Bali. Inspired by her bohemian life and travels, she began designing a collection of necklaces, working with the traditional Balinese tassel necklace, mixing the different techniques and materials from each island with her keen sense of color and style.
They are made in Indonesian villages by artisans who traditionally work from their home and care for their families in a time held manner. “The Zacasha collection is above all, designed with love and passion and carries a message of peace and respect for our planet. Thank you for supporting our journey. Spread the love…” (Jennifer, Designer)
The different Indonesian islands have very special crafts and artisans. It is only from certain islands one can find the skill and specific craftsmanship to produce the necklaces she envisioned. The island of Madura’s specialty is necklaces with tiny knotting between each bead. Using this technique Jennifer designed necklaces made of crystals, Mala beads, fresh water pearls from the island of Lombok and lava stone beads from the volcanoes of Mt Batur in Bali and Mt Semeru in Java. The Mala bead is made from the seeds of the Ganitri tree, found almost exclusively in Indonesia. The Ganitri seeds are mystical and used by the Hindus and Buddhist priests as their prayer necklaces. A Hindu priest will give you his protection by offering you a Ganitri seed necklace. Many necklaces in the Zacasha collection have charms of Buddha or elephants that carry a message of peace and good luck to those who wear them. (FYI -The elephant trunk must always be “up” to bring good luck! Zacasha necklaces are made not in factories.
