A global guide to cutting-edge, independent men’s fashion This is an essential reference to more than fifty international designers, brands, stores, blogs and websites that have shaped independent men’s fashion over the last decade and will define its trends in the years ahead. From classic ‘heritage’ labels such as Albam Clothing through to dynamic, new labels such as Tellason, who set the fashion agenda for crafted, desirable denim, or the clean, sartorially elegant lines of Won Hundred, the fifty brands expertly selected and curated for this book represent the very best in a fast-changing international scene, be they the ones that create styles and set trends or those that innately understand how to sell and market menswear effectively. Packed with critical insight and opinion, this is a book that sets out to cut through the PR gloss of so much fashion writing. Each of the organizations represented include a sharp, concise profile of the people behind the brand and its history to date. And to provide even greater depth, the book also features essays on the major trends in the menswear scene and interviews with some of its key, influential figures. Fashion 67
