ClothSurgeon

ClothSurgeon is now registered as a brand so its time to do something with it. There will be some movements very soon, in trying to create a high end streetwar brand focusing on fine materials, details, function and wearability.

Two years in design working with House of Billiam, we have managed to stock at Dover Street Market, Liberty, 10 Corso Como, United Arrows, lets hope the same for ClothSurgeon.

Dose

I received another stash of goodies from Nike thanks to Energy Marketings Ronojoy, kindly bagged up 6 pairs of wonderful shoes, my favourite probably being the Huarache LE Free.

2011 was the year of the Blazer, 2012 im thinking will see huge re-emergence of the Huarache, I know for most sneaker heads that this shoe holds a strong pull on their heartstrings!!

The Motorcycle Boy Reigns

Elemenets of inspiration for AW12 were taken from a Francis Ford Coppola film Rumble Fish, made in 1983. A gang related movie with an all star cast, we took influence from the way they were dressed to the way each one of Rusty James gang members emotions and persona. Look forward to an eclectic collection bridging the gap, and blurring the boundaries of streetwear.






MB will Reign.

Dover Street Market

Its like winning the World Cup on a retail scale.

For me its the most prestigous store collaboration, we have done and possibly ever do. To say we have Rei Kawakubo look over our work and appreciate it enough to put it in her concept driven stores is quite amazing.





In Stores soon ;)

2012

Firstly Happy New Year all!

We have quite a busy few months ahead of us. Collaboration with Dover Street Market in Tokyo, Shanghai and London is confirmed which we are extremely delighted about.

Also a Trade show. We will be doing Jacket Required, quite appropriately named as we specialise in outerwear. Being our debut trade show we are quite excited, and slightly nervous at the same time not knowing what to expect.
Hopefully we should be fully prepared for the 12th February with a strong capsule collection.

Few snaps of the last one:

Hattie doodled on our jacket

Recently we gave one of our jackets to illustrator Hattie Stewart to work her magic!

Her signature style, initially reminiscent of Keith Haring, took over the sleeves of our MB Biker, as we are quite subtle in what we do in terms of branding and print, it was nice to have Hattie add something unique to our garment. Thanks to Chloe at MY STYLIST SAYS for bringing us together.

Take a look.

Christmas wish list

From the last list I posted I did pretty well, few bits I got for myself, some from my lovely family and fiancée.

So here's the Christmas edition.

Crockett and Jones Malvern and Cavendish.


Lanvin Lapelle Pin.

Givenchy Riccardo Tisci T-Shirt.

House of Billiam Raglan Sleeve Tweed Suit.

Mackintosh x A Bathing Ape Coat.

Bass Weejun Layton Loafer.

Buzz Rickson Pea Coat.

Persol Folding Sunglasses.

Nike Mag McFly.


Christmas, the season of giving. :)

H.o.B x D.S.M

Ok well, when it comes to shopping and brands that I strive to sit alongside then I would say Dover Street Market is probably my favourite store in London, aswell as Liberty for its whole shopping experience, (CAKE).

So to do a collaboration with what is pretty much Comme Des Garcons, and to fit in with Rei Kawakubo's concept and direction is quite amazing. It would be the greatest achievement of my young Fashion career to date.

Fingers crossed it all goes to plan.



Its nice to be respected by the people you respect the most.

Registered

Finally the papers came through, I now have a registered trademark. Now to do something with it..... :)




Brand name.

OiNK OiNK!

Ok so when we find somewhere nice to eat we tend to eat it every day until we get bored, our latest venture was The Crazy Pig Cafe on Hoxton Street, fresh produce, well cooked food is always good.

All American breakfast, is my food of choice. The layers of pancake, bacon, pancake, bacon, pancake drizzled in syrup is such a mouth watering combinaton supported by a toulouse sausage and perfectly poached eggs.

Its so good it was a 'no brainer' that would be where we took our Danish friends Lisa and Silas from Soulland




Nothing Crazy about this Pig.

Dressing the Streets.

We decided to do a series of viral videos, to get some attention in a clever way. A hint to what we do and style in which we work in, Kazim and Chris at Some Think Blue executed the vision perfectly.
Here is the first in the series, keeping lamposts warm in this chilled climate.


to B continued....

House of Billiam x Vanita: Sir Mikey Snaps

We worked once again with Mikey Snaps of Vanita Modern Tailors, emphasis still on quality of fabrics, if you remember our previous pieces were made from brushed Scabal cotton.

This time we used a wool/cashmere herringbone, melton wool shoulder panel, nappa leather sleeves and Liberty print Tana Lawn lining. A wonderful combintaion.




Street Class.

HIP-HOP BURGER!

Superette pop up Burger bar , you can expect... The big Pun Burger which includes Foie Gras and truffled Mayo , Skinny man Burger for the veggies and the Jodeci burger (roquefort cheese) its time to bring the burger out of the gutter and back to the heavens

A perfect way to start the weekend.



GOOD BURGER.

Stumble upon our Tumble

We decided to start our own Tumblr. Tumblr's are quite inspiring, especially if you love aesthetically pleasing objects and dont like to read too much.



Labrinth

We have featured in quite a few artists video over the last couple of months, the latest being Producer/Songwriter/Singer Labrinth's video Earthquake feat: Tinie Tempah.

You can see Labrinth wearing the House of Billiam MB Biker in Burgundy, styled by Ayishat and Louize, which can also be purchased HERE



Were shaking the World in a gentle way, wait for our Earthquake.
