Here is something new and exciting for everyone. Garbstore, an amazing store in London has just launched their own clothing line.
The man behind it all is Ian Paley, previously the creative director & founder of One True Saxon, and Senior Designer at Paul Smith, Levi’s and Thomas Burberry. The clothing line ranges from tee’s, jeans and chino’s, button down shirts, sweats, jackets and accessories. It is a perfect mix between technical outerwear, mixed with a classical vintage and attention to detail and quality seldomly found nowadays. It is certainly not your average bubble gum quick fix streetwear but rather a very classic yet modern clothing line with it’s roots in street and high end design.
They are presenting their line in London and Berlin right now and check their website for more enquiries and we got some sneak peaks right here.
