WANT Les Essentiels Introduces the Jackson Messenger Bag




WANT LES ESSENTIELS INTRODUCES THE JACKSON
A modern messenger bag for daily travels


WANT Les Essentiels is pleased to unveil the latest essential to join its roster, the Jackson messenger bag. Inspired by the modern man’s ever-evolving lifestyle, co-founders Byron and Dexter Peart reimagined the iconic style for enhanced functionality in an updated, streamlined shape.
True to the brand’s essence, the Jackson was designed to be both aspirational and functional. Stripped of unnecessary details, this sophisticated iteration is injected with intelligent features that anticipate the needs of your daily travels.   
Design elements such as broadly gusseted front pockets, a padded laptop pocket, and interior stretch pockets offer roomy storage for daily essentials while retaining the bag’s slim form. A discreet upper zipper—in the brand’s signature silver and gold—offers fast and easy accessibility during busy travels.
Crafted from certified organic cotton and premium French leather, the Jackson lends an understated elegance and performance-driven functionality that makes it the ideal everyday companion. Whether traveling on foot or bike, to meetings or after-work drinks, the Jackson’s hands-free capabilities introduce an added sense of ease and mobility to your day.   
With an adjustable shoulder strap, top handle and protective mesh backing, every detail is intended to provide added comfort and ease of use, presented in a sleek, ready-for-anything silhouette.
The Jackson Messenger bag in black, $495, is launching  at select stockists internationally, at the WANT Les Essentiels flagship in New York  and online at wantlesessentiels.com on Wednesday, June 29, 2016, and will be followed by a monochrome olive combination launching next month.

MAHARISHI- The Return of DPM: British Bonsai Forest



SS16 sees the return of DPM: British Bonsai, a disruptive pattern that combines the elements of the long standing (until recently) UK military pattern with elements of maharishi’s house pattern Bonsai Forest, which incorporates Bonsai tree shapes growing from heavenly clouds, reminding us that camouflage has its roots in nature.



The Woodland colourway replaces the traditional black with purple, whilst the other colourways are inspired by a 2 colour version that the British issued hurriedly in 1991, a little shamefully, as it was necessitated by the fact that they sold uniforms (and arms) to Iraq in 1989 and then declared war on them in 1991. The MOD refused to send troops to war dressed identically to their Iraqi enemies, so created a simpler and more sparse 2 colour version.



In a further effort to reinforce the fact that maharishi use camouflage as an expression of nature and art, rather than as a tool by which to conceal oneself from an enemy, all the camouflage styles in SS16 are fully reversible, enabling the pattern to be worn internally

'Hype' Summer 2016





Hype Summer 16

Exploring simplicity and intrinsic detailing which includes expressive linings on jackets coupled with inside pocket designs, discrete zippers and a contemporary exterior giving individual garments continuing versatility.

The Just Hype Summer 16 Collection suggests a delphic image throughout, progressing evermore into the realms of cut and sew but remaining consistent within its illustrious streetwear origin. Pinpointing their own obscurity to produce a more mature selection of apparel consisting heavily of high quality sweats, button up shirts featuring iconic prints, an eclectic mix of short and long sleeved t-shirts featuring panelled sides and mismatched graphics, some of which are completed with matching shorts and headwear; and a wide collection of outwear beginning with outlandish colours and classic HYPE. designs and ending with effortless yet satisfying styles, including understated HYPE. logos to the breast of the jackets and new alternatives to the original HYPE. script.

EVISU Spring Summer 2016 Collection The Time Traveller


EVISU Spring Summer 2016 Collection
The Time Traveller


For Spring Summer 2016, EVISU embarks on a bit of time travel as it jets to the future and borrows from the past. The new collection features EVISU Clan, a collection that pays tribute to EVISU’s Japanese heritage through samurai-influenced silhouettes, sporty shapes, and bold graphics; and Future Fusion, a range of digitally inspired looks that play with distortion, colours, and innovative fabrics. The quintessential EVISU spirit pervades the season as quality and craftsmanship is once again cleverly juxtaposed with a sense of humour and an irreverent, carefree attitude.




EVISU Clan draws its inspiration from traditional Japan, referencing the revered samurai and the martial art form of kendo. Longline silhouettes, voluminous shapes, and functional sportswear dominate the collection, while unique detailing and innovative fabric treatments add a modern touch to individual pieces. For the men, the EVISU Clan collection goes neo-samurai this season, featuring new, roomier shapes as seen on the loose-cut hoodie jacket, as well as a selection of wide-leg pants and loose-cut joggers. The “athleisure” theme runs through the collection with reinterpreted sportswear pieces crafted in sporty fabrics such as neoprene mesh and cotton terry, and enhanced with functional details including mesh pockets and water repellent zippers. Bold graphics, prints, and fonts make a powerful style statement as they are presented on both classic and new silhouettes. Celebrating the arrival of spring is a new digital Japanese floral print featuring the symbolic cherry blossoms, which is splashed across a variety of items including the souvenir jacket, low-rise shorts, pocket tees, shirts, and EVISU’s signature DAICOCK jeans. An allover EVISU logo pattern also takes centre stage on the zip-up functional jacket, logo print tee, shorts, DAICOCK jeans, and wide-leg pants, while stripes return this season in dark indigo and ecru for a sporty chic vibe. The women’s range offers a wide array of “longline” pieces that features extended hemlines, including a sophisticated lightweight wind coat, a longline dress with patchwork detailing, an elongated souvenir jacket, as well as an ombré shirt with a detachable hem for added versatility. Denim returns for the warmer season in new shapes as well, with dip-dye denim culottes, a reversible A-line denim skirt, and boyfriend jeans all elevating an old classic in fresh, new ways. The women’s collection also offers an enticing selection of well-designed pieces that combines leisure and athletic wear. Functional yet fashionable detailing injects a hint of uniqueness to this range of elevated sportswear. The collection’s wind jackets feature feminine pleat details at the back, as does the “punched blouse”, which also boasts perforated fabric on the sleeves for a sporty accent. Mesh is used liberally throughout the range as a nod to sportwear, and is seen on the mesh mixed blouse, tank tops with double mesh collars, printed “mesh blocking” sweatpants, and mesh trimmed shorts. Embossed glossy badges and graphics boxed in within borders add a final dash of sportiness to the collection. 

Future Fusion is an exploration of technology, digital art, and futuristic fashion. Deconstruction and distortion reign supreme: fabrics and colours are mixed and matched together in playful and unexpected ways, while graphics are pixelated and warped, recalling computer glitches and old-school graphics of yesteryear. The men’s collection is a vibrant affair, featuring pixelated graphics bathed in sharp hues of blue, beetrootflame red, lime green, and turquoise. Allover patterns and bold graphics inject a modern edge to the range, as seen through the collection’s pixel-filled DAICOCK raw jeans, pixel monogram denim shorts and printed tees, pixel-accented zip-up hoodies and sweatpants, and “pixel camouflage” sweatshirts, tanks, and shorts. Unique colour and fabric blocking play on the theme of distortion as well, channelling an unexpected playfulness that adds a new dimension to the concept of casualwear. This is perfectly executed in the range’s colour blocked souvenir denim hybrid jacket and joggers, as well as the “pixel camouflage” printed pocket shirts. The women’s range features the two-toned “deconstructed cut” denim jacket and boyfriend jeans, which may be paired together for a powerful statement or worn individually for a more laid-back take on the trend. The colour-blocked denim shorts challenge the rules of fashion with EVISU’s iconic seagull back pockets sewn to the front against “misplaced” patches, matching perfectly with a lightweight sweatshirt emblazoned with the collection’s “glitchy” graphic. Distorted prints and graphics grace a variety of tees and trousers, as seen on the range’s Future Fusion tee with exaggerated fringe detail, red and blue fabric appliqué sweatshirts, as well as cotton terry sweatpants. The sharpness of the “Future Fusion” collection is tempered by a selection of sheer items that balances sporty shapes with a soft femininity. The pixel jacquard burn-out souvenir jacket and culottes offer a sophisticated take on the futuristic digital theme, while the loose-fit, lightweight bomber jacket adds a touch of casual femininity to any springtime ensemble.

Season after season, EVISU continues to surprise and inspire as it pushes the boundaries of fashion in innovative, new ways. Balancing the brand’s commitment to traditional quality and craftsmanship with a youthful, carefree attitude, EVISU’s Spring Summer 2016 collection presents another season of reinvented classics that redefines the standard for modern-day streetwear.
