Adidas Originals by Originals AW 2010 – Collection Preview

Monday, August 9th, 2010

This Friday 13th August sees the launch of one of the most anticipated ranges of the year – Adidas Originals by Originals x Kakuzi Autumn 2010. Long-term ObyO partner Kazuki Kuraishi continues to lead Tokyo’s latest trends in streetwear fashion, combining them with technical elements in a wearable manner that makes the line stand out from the crowd.

This season Kazuki has also teamed up with Tokyo-based brands Neigborhood and WHIZ Ltd, along with Japanese DJ and artist Mintos, who have brought their own ideas to the collection. Seasonal highlights within apparel include Kazuki’s Light Jacket, a fully seam-taped 3-dimensional silhouette construction using a waterproof 2L Diaplex fabric as well as waterproof zippers. The collection also included fully Neighborhood branded premium hoodys, tees and tech chino pants, all set to become future collectors items.

The footwear range distinguishes itself with new models in Fall/Winter 2010 such as the ZX KZK, with a hybrid moccasin upper silhouette, and a special winterized version based on the Adidas Forum incorporating the graphic element from the shell jacket. The Campus 80s remains a favorite sneaker model, in a fresh design coming in two colourways this season, together with the Campus 80s featuring WHIZ Ltd. The LUKER by Neighborhood Superstar is however the star of the collection. Finished with either a black or white upper, and with full LUKER by Neighborhood and Adidas dual branding, this is a style set to sell out and fall into the realms of Adidas folk law.

This season Kazuki has also worked on a full Kids collection to sit alongside the menswear range, with matching tees and trainers.

The range is set to launch online on Friday 13th August at 00:00 BST. We have some key looks and preview images below, and will be releasing further product images and range information over the next week running up to the launch.

Universal Works AW10

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

Yet another new brand for us here at End, and one we’ve been admirers of for some time. Universal Works are, like us, a small, British independent, proud of the fashion heritage of this fair isle, promoting the exceptional fabrics and manufactures the UK has to offer. The AW10 collection is a sterling example of British clothing – outdoorwear, shirting and knitwear, made to resist the elements, while incorporating subtle, tasteful styling and providing maximum comfort.

Universal Works have used small factories – including the World famous Harris Tweed factory – in the production of the range, with each piece carefully finished, as a fitting tribute to the fabrics used. The colletion incorporates workwear pieces such as jackets and shirts, as well as outdoor essentials such as gilets, scarves and hats, and the robust styling and construction means that the clothing will last for season after season.

This first drop is just a taster of what is to come from Universal Works for AW10, and we would definitely say, so far, so good. And as with any collection that can boast this level of finishing with some very sensible pricing, we are expecting it to prove very popular with End’s customers, just as it has with the staff here!
