This evening I came across some shots from the Anyforty Crewneck Autumn Winter Lookbook on instagram and was instantly pushed to hit up the website to view the full collection. Anyforty is an independent, UK based streetwear company that collaborates with artists for their Versus collection. They have had a busy year diversifying their product range with wallets, keyrings, snapbacks, tees and jumpers, as well as participating in the Outpost streetwear project & exhibition in Sydney; and so this is the final release for 2011! Hit the jump to view some of my favourite shots from the collection, as well as a chance to view the entire lookbook.

I’m always drawn to young creative people and meeting with them to learn of their current interests and activities. I recently had the pleasure to meet the Bakery Boys. Bakery Boys are a collective of London-based creatives with a passion for music, art & fashion. Members of the collective are Ace Boogie and designers behind street wear brand Justin Hustlin – Shack & Dirty Dre. Not only do the three South Londoners involve themselves in music, they also have a clothing line called Justin Hustlin which is soon to be available exclusively through Asos.com. Not bad considering the trio have been turned down by smaller retailers. The clothing line will soon be exposed to 13 million plus unique visitors that search through the “biggest wardrobe in the world”.

Homeboy Gabriel debuted the new Origin London collection at his Orange Dot Gallery exhibition yesterday – if you didn’t go then you missed out on the launch. The exhibition will be running till the 19th so make sure you head down. I missed it too but I had a good excuse! Here’s the lookbook for the collection which I jacked off his site, just had to share it. The brand has come a long way from the first drop. Take a closer look at the tees from the collaboration with Puck Collective and TIMC after the cut. For more information on the exhibition – click here.

So Boyce inbox’d my earlier this week to congratulate me on my graduation and give me a heads up on his latest collectables drop called ‘Wake Up’. For me, it’s the best collection from him yet, it looks so complete. According to this post – he’s been working on them for a while and the collection maybe small but when did quantity matter? It’s all about the quality and Suffoca always delivers that. He’s based the collection around childhood memories that each represent a story, more info in a quote on the reverse. The set features stickers, a coin holder, the prosper pack, wishbone vest, wilfred tee and from the looks of it a notebook as well. Continues after the cut.

New Zealand based lifestyle brand is taking London town by storm. I’ve seen so many LDN blogs posting their lookbooks and clothing in the past few weeks. They even had a huge launch party last week, bit of a bummer that we missed out because of our holiday. Well today we stumbled across their pop-up space on Lamb’s Conduit Street (home to Oliver Spencer, Folk & Co). It’s definitely worth checking out – the interior is so nicely put together, got to give the visual merchandiser some props. The collection is STRONG – I really love the fit of their chinos. Go have a gander if you’re in the area, more images on the reverse.

You all know we don’t really post much streetwear on the site anymore unless it’s honestly something I admire. I’ve featured this brand once before on the site and complimented Boyce on his presentation and design aesthetic. He’s continued that class onto his newest collection ‘Suffoca Will Prosper‘. The collection feature a variety of tees, a vest, silhouette and a dope custom piece. As always the clothing features characters and illustrations by Boyce – brand consistency is key. A lot of up and coming UK brands need to realise consistency and quality go hand in hand, presentation is part of the package. He gets it spot on. Have a gander at the collection on the reverse.

It’s been a good few months since our last fashion review. Many apologies for the slacking, I’m not going to use the final year at university excuse as we can ALWAYS make time. Any who, many of you lot probably haven’t heard of Pelé Sports but I’m 100% sure most have heard of Brazilian football legend, Pelé. The brand have decided to venture into fashion/streetwear like many sportswear companies do nowadays, it’s becoming a necessity. Review, photos and more on the reverse.
