Captured by Chris Kontos, the Autumn-Winter '15 lookbook from British menswear brand Several highlights a selection of key pieces, alongside footwear by Paraboot and Dr. Martens. This season's offering is inspired by Chris Killip's Skinningrove, a photographic study of life in a North Yorkshire fishing village during the 1980s. With an emphasis on classic silhouettes and utilitarian fabrics, the collection is now available from Several, as well as select retailers including Selfridges, I.T, Edifice and Mr Porter.

Last year we commissioned Brooklyn-based designer Shin Murayama to make a series of utilitarian items using iconic products from Levi's, Adidas, Filson, Vans, Champion, Dickies, Red Wing and Saint James. Subsequently staged and shot by photographer Jason Evans for an editorial that appeared in our eleventh issue, one of each repurposed piece is now available to buy from our online store.

—01. The Ken Stadling Collection.

Words

To accompany a new exhibition of over 50 items from the Ken Stradling Collection curated by Margaret Howell, we are pleased to present a conversation between the collector and the designer. Shot on location in Bristol, the short film offers a glimpse into Stradling’s modern design archive, and sees the pair discuss not only the origins, but also the depth and breadth of his collection.

Made by regular Inventory contributor Rick Pushinsky, alongside Tim Bowditch, it captures the diversity of Stradling’s surroundings and touches upon the work of Marcel Breuer for Bristol furniture manufacturer Crofton Gane. A major component of the exhibition, these pieces will be complimented by a selection of studio pottery, glassware and everyday household objects. The show opens at Margaret Howell’s Wigmore Street store in London on Thursday October 15th, and runs until Saturday November 15th, 2015.

Words

Vans and Wtaps have been working together for almost a decade and today marks the release of their latest collaborative collection. The eight-piece offering for Fall-Winter '15, produced as part of the footwear brand's Vault line, features two Caballero-inspired versions of the Sk8-Hi and a trio of Era options, influenced by the Japanese school uniform and colour-coded grading system. The highlight, however, is a tonal edition of the low cut Style 36 silhouette, built on a vulcanised rubber sole and rendered in three appealing shades of premium suede.

Words

Many people associate technical fabrics with specific forms of exercise or poor weather conditions, but functional clothing is equally relevant to the requirements of daily life as temperatures rise, particularly in a city environment. When it comes to the latter and the countless considerations involved, few brands succeed in the way that Arc'teryx Veilance does. This season's collection, captured on the streets of New York for our latest online feature, combines innovation and wearability with a well-balanced colour palette.
