LN-CC Levi’s Red Archive

20131107-153931.jpg

First introduced in 1999, LEVI’S RED is a premium concept collection by Levi Strauss and Co. that is dedicated to reinventing the iconic Levi’s 5-pocket jean and proposing new forms and aesthetics for jeanswear. LEVI’S RED garments are notorious for being experimental, technical, and complicated to manufacture.

Ahead of the launch of the first LEVI’S RED collection to be released in seven years, which will be available worldwide exclusively at LN-CC.COM, LN-CC have curated a selection of key pieces from the first ever LEVI’S RED 1999 collection. Entitled ‘Twisted RED’, the collection was a turning point in reinventing the classic 5-pocket jean and a seminal moment in the evolution of denim – paving the way for eight RED collections over the past 15 years.

Dries Van Noten Canvas/Leather Sneaker

Dries Van Noten makes use of an interesting textile for its latest Spring Summer 2012 Canvas Sneakers. As the straightforward moniker implies, the pair sports a brown canvas upper that is juxtaposed against a dark navy blue vinyl on the toecap and heel. The off-white rubber outsole is rounded out by an interior tan leather lining, black shoe laces and brushed metal hardware. Available here

LN-CC x Yuketen

I’m not ‘into’ most of the Yuketen styles to date, I don’t really know why but they remind me of either eskimos or lads dressed like they are Urban Fishing! Any how LN-CC have produced a pair that has changed me. They are made from black leather and feature brogue detailing. The uppers are hand stitched to a black, ‘Vibram’ wedge sole. The boots are finished with a hand stitched leather insole embossed with the Yuketen logo. Buy em out here

Ben Benoliel Negative Archive

One of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet and a very good friend of TSR is embarking on his (long over due may I add) first solo show at the J&A Cafe in East London, as part of the ongoing collaboration between Metro Imaging & J&A who have come together to promote and raise awareness of the best young photographic talent in the UK.

Since Ben graduated from London College of Fashion in 2007 he has gone on to produce acclaimed commercial and editorial work for both print and digital brands and publications including Nigel Cabourn, Damir Doma, Raf Simmons, i-D, Dazed & Confused, Sang Bleu, Stone Island, Passarella Death Squad, Wallpaper.com, The New Order, 1205, Billionaire Boys Club, Quotation Magazine, Toomuchposse, C.P. Company and Satyenkumar amongst others. In addition he has exhibited at The Royal Academy of Arts, Christie’s Gallery and London’s Great Eastern Hotel and currently works as in-house photographer for pioneering fashion and lifestyle website LN-CC.

He is recognised for his considered, perceptive and informal style, Ben always shoots on film using various analogue cameras which give amazing results and for a novice in photography like myself this isn’t easy as I can tell you. I’ve been with him in a dark closet in LA whilst his changes a film on a already Duc-taped up analogue camera thinking to myself that he’s gone mental, but then you can see from the results that they could only be gained through painstaking measures. Mistakes are embrace and experiments encouraged through out his work. So if you are in the area, pop by and see for yourself. Also while you are on check his blog out here
