I got to take a look at the Dutch brands
Scotch & Soda/Maison Scotch's fall winter 2012 collection the other day at the
always delicious Lawrence, who dished out some appetizers. In the foreground is an absolutely awesome braised beef with gnocchi-I could have eaten the whole table, but had a beef tartare instead. Simmer down...
Behind the gnocchi, for those wondering, is a smoked mackarel, celeriac, apple and bacon. I ate it with my eyes...
Ok, back to the clothes.
There's a laid back vintage feel to the brand that is underlined with bow ties, suspenders, blanket-style layers and heritage checks. The colours were super rich, warm and cozy, and if I may get all poetic on you: like fall leaves and a setting sun (and denim blue thrown in for good measure!)
Take a look at the details:
Are you feeling the vintage vibe yet?
The changing colours of fall leaves are seen in these cottony pants-even when the leaves fall on the ground and turn into a pile of dark mush.
Did I mention I
love menswear? I could live in the casual/coolness of it all... the preworn look of this sweater reminds me of working on film shoots armed with sandpaper and a dremmel.
A last look: accessories!
