Le Fix Out Of Love

Geposted von 2 am

We've got another New comer to introduce for SS17. Le Fix is a clothing brand born out of a group of artists and creatives in Copenhagen. The Le Fix space was founded in 1999 and has been a way for original members Benny Kusk, Jesper Holm and Rasmus Jacobsen to explore their creative pursuits with as much freedom as possible. The ultimate drive of the brand is a love of the game. It is a dedication to their surroundings, creativity and freedom that comes across so strongly with these guys, something we also admire so much about our home of...

Levi's Made & Crafted

Geposted von 2 am

We are excited here at Number Six, no the new year hasn't got us giddy, Levi's have. The Levi's Made & Crafted range from our good friends focuses on the details. Using materials developed in Japan, Italy and the USA as well as  clever design features, Levi's have managed to make a collection that rivals some of their Vintage classics. The first and most obvious part of the collection to talk about is the denim. Now we weren't sure Levi's really needed to change much on this front. As the most recognisable Jeans brand in the world we were under...

Geposted von 2 am

Being named GQ's top 10 menswear items in the world was just one of the many accolades Portuguese Flannel has obtained. As a brand Portuguese Flannel continue to go from strength to strength.The shirts are a way of showing respect and acknowledgement of their ancestors.

These guys come from Denver and make some of the best quality bags and leather goods we've seen.

Oliver Spencer AW16 - Music To Our Ears

Geposted von 2 am

The Inspiration: Inspiration can be found in the most unlikely places. The Oliver Spencer AW16 collection found it in the form of Ginger Baker. Ginger Baker was the drummer and one of  the founding members the band Cream. Having been known primarily for his role in music, Ginger Baker was a man of great sartorial pedigree. Baker often led the way for British counter-culture fashion. While America had Easy Rider & Woodstock we had the likes of Baker. The Oliver Spencer AW16 collection is inspired in particular by Baker's trip to Africa. Ginger Baker's trip led him to work with the...

Le Swine | Shoreditch Guide

Geposted von 2 am

When we first heard of Le Swine and their self-professed "best bacon butty in town" we feared the boldness of their statement. Would this be another claim too large for any one street food van? A good amount of bacon sandwiches later and you've probably worked out our thoughts on the whole situation. It turns out the bacon butty is in good hands. James, the man behind Londons best bacon butty knows a thing or two about food. He worked under Bruno Loubet (chef extraordinaire) in Clerkenwell for five years. It's fair to say he has earnt his stripes. Though...

SEVERAL; SS17 at London Collections

Geposted von 2 am

The Several SS17 show at London Collection Mens was another nod to times gone by. Set in a yellow and white cafe, the show offered a retro palette even Wes Anderson would envy. The brands attention to detail did not fall short at the clothing. Vintage magazines and papers alongside toast on the table all served as parts of the Several time machine. Furthermore the clothing featured was just as much a tip of the hat to Britain of post war times. Utilitarian work wear teamed with the aspirational trench coat & sunglasses blended industrial styles of the early 20th...

Number Six Says - The Great Outdoors

Geposted von 2 am

It's starting to get to that time of year, the weather is swaying  and spring has mostly sprung. For us we are starting to think about enjoying ourselves a little bit. We can't wait to get outside and enjoy some of the great outdoors come rain or shine. We are city dwellers here at Number Six that's not to say we don't enjoy our fair share of Mother Nature. London being one of the greenest cities in the world in respect of it's commons, parks and public gardens means there is a lot to do that's not including the world...
