The All Weather Edit
 |
What defines style? It’s a question with multiple possible answers. Style is often based on specific tastes and preferences, but it’s something that we know we are in the presence of when we encounter it. We would argue that style is about purveying a continuous high-quality aesthetic. Or, to put things a little bit more simply, looking good in all circumstances. |

Last days of Summer
 |
To say the summer has been a strange one would be the ultimate understatement, however for the optimistic among us, summer has remained salvageable.

Boat Shoes - A History
 |
G.H. Bass & Co. have been pioneers in a host of footwear styles since George Henry Bass set up the brand in 1876, with one defining goal : ‘To make the best possible shoe for the purpose for which it was intended.’
Behind this was the need to design shoes with a sense of utility and purpose. It is what defined the development of our first pioneering style: The Camp Moccasin.

Style tribes: 1960s revival
 |
The sixties are often credited as an important era for fashion, music and political movements, as the decade saw an evolution of youth culture and the emergence of influential subcultures. As a generation of young adults came of age at time so far ruled by conservatism, materialism and social norms, groups began to break away in the late 1950s and early 1960s to challenge class systems, mainstream political views and gender roles. A wider sense of freedom and international influences meant that jazz clubs, dance clubs and coffee shops became the new normal social hangouts. |
