Supreme DreamTeam

I always eagerly await the Supreme collections in particular the Autumn/Winter, probably due to the fact when I dress I like to layer up and wear a statement jacket piece. Well the collection is did not dissapoint, headgear such as woolrich driving cap and V.S.O.P snapback, the collegiate sweat are just amongst a few things I want!

The coach jackets are great too, i'm a big fan of leopard print right now and we at House of Billiam made a jacket a while ago that resembles one from this seasonsSupreme collection. We must be doing something right ;) Full lookbook can be viewed HERE.





Always up on a scheme.

Subtle details

A friend of mine asked for a varsity. He asked me to come up with a piece slightly different but with more detailing but not over the top. Knowing his style i decided to keep it very clean, and almost A.P.C like.

I added a layered back/yolk panel, a front flap i-Phone pocket, leather elbow patches, full navy melton body and arms with a polka dot lining. It was one of them ones made for a friend that you find hard to depart with. Oh well cant keep making myself look pretty.

My prediction....

...... was that these would release in 2015 as they do in the movie. I have previously blogged about these as they are somewhat close to my heart!! HERE and HERE.

The Marty McFly. Well here is the official patent of the shoe. They are going to continue and create the Hype. Then, BOOM! drop these and charge every sneaker collector $1500. Easy. 5 years to save.






2015 is the release year. You heard it here first!!

Samuel John Butt Photography

We recently had our Varsity jackets that we did for Chimp Photographed. They were done Samuel John Butt who works closely with Neil Bedford, I recently saw the contact sheet and they look extremely good. The images have pretty much captured what House of Billiam is about streetwear with a very British aesthetic.

You scratch my back.....

Working in the Fashion industry doesn't leave you much time to have a social life. I rarely see my good friend Triv, but he keeps letting me know he is there by sending me free shoes. What more can a friend ask for especially one with a footwear obsession. Anyway I decided to make him something in return for his generosity.


A reversible tote bag. One side is made from navy waxed cotton while the other is a black quilted material. Nice.





I'll scratch yours.
