FASHION Words: HELENE STOKES
SMOKIN’! Streetwear with extra attitude…
LOS ANGELES clothing label and cool boutique Dope say it like it is. They’re not shy to deliver a first collection that shouts ‘see ya’ to cosy, easy to wear apparel and nicey nice clobber. Featuring the leaf of the green stuff and sticking a finger up at conformity, Dope is pushing the boundaries of contemporary streetwear. Not many brands would have an ashtray as part of their capsule. And we’re loving their knuckle dusters, vests, five panels and dope as you like hoodies. Find their actual store on North Fairfax Avenue, or give their webstore a jolly good seeing to.

IT’S OFFICIAL… Are you ready for tennis?
THE SUPREME AND NIKE release that’s had us in a spin is finally here. The SB Tennis Classic sneaker, originally called the Wimbledon when it came out in 1975, has got the wow factor. In the eighties famous tennis players were all over it - the likes of John McEnroe, Billie Jean King and Jimmy Connors flew the flag for them. The combination of Supreme and Nike make for something extra
beautiful. The upper body is made from premium leather, there’s neat branding on the tongue, heel and they come with a special hang tag. Currently jetting out of the stores for $100.

SEE THE LIGHT The beanie hat lives on…
THERE’S Awhole conceptual bumph that surrounds Los Angeles label Distant Light… ‘striving to achieve an authentic style constructed around perseverance / communicating the power of determination and creating yourself’. It’s all well and good because theirs is a collection that’s refined and not too ‘in yer face’ – a few beanies, some t-shirts, a print and a hoodie. Simplicity rules. Join them on any one of their networks for heads up on ‘two for one’ deals and special discount codes. While you’re there have a scroll down their blog for a potted history of the brand.

PUT EM UP! Fisticuffs Ltd get the thumbs up…
BASED IN SACRAMENTO, California this here brand has struck a little
chord with us. For starters, they’ve got the good old fashioned anchor as one of their logos and you can’t go wrong with that. Secondly, they clearly have a passion for black and white photos and a connection with
Instagram (inviting fans to join their quest). Then there’s their cool tees. Whisky & Mermaids hits the top of our list, hand screen printed in the
Fisticuffs workshop, twenty bucks, 100% ring-spun cotton, what’s not to like?
