The Hideout has just received Neighborhood’s SS2006 lookbook and are excited to present the new “Los Hermanos” collection.
Faithful fans of this Japanese label can expect the usual: quality denim, t-shirts, cut-and-sew, silver jewellery, Porter bags and accessories. The bandanna series of shirts and accessories have especially captured our imagination. New York-based artist Kostas Seremetis has also been invited to collaborate
This well-presented lookbook also comes with an original mix CD conveying the mood of the collection.
The Hideout is expecting the collection to arrive shortly. Check their blog for updates – information on how to get a copy of the lookbook should be up soon.
