Liberty Of London by SummerSeventySix
An eye for a quirky print, or a knowing nod to the past is a typical Paul Smith trait, and something that Liberty of London has been doing for years. Its massive archive of distinctive prints are used innovatively on pretty much anything you can think of, but it's the signature floral shirts that endure at Liberty's famous London store, as other designers come and go with the seasons. Effortlessly classic.

Leto & Ariadne Scarves
Always on the lookout for a handsome scarf, I was delighted to discover Londoner Nick Ozanne's studio label, Leto & Ariadne. With keen attention to drape, weight, and comfort, Nick's handwoven mufflers, comprised of 100% silk or silk and wool, are downright dapper. Leto & Ariadne currently offers four collections, each drawing inspiration from sources as varied as Brideshead Revisited to glazed pastries, with prices...

Raeburn Design
Christopher Raeburn cleverly constructs high-end street wear from re-deployed parachutes and military fabrics. Sourced from uniforms of specific countries and vintages, Raeburn creates elegant pieces of clothing in stark contrast to the combat-ready materials from which they were made. We especially like the Parachute Jacket (pictured) for its breezy look. Using mainly recycled materials, these ethically-correct garments are produced in England. The outerwear features...

the-affair
Out of East London, the-affair is not just another t-shirt label interested in fashion. They do a good job blending social commentary and design to create a statement that goes deeper than the typical tee. Exploring themes like the futility of religious intolerance, Muslim Jesus (above left) just looks like another image of Jesus, but take a closer look and you'll notice that Islamic...

Call of the Wild A/W 2007
London-based clothing label Call of the Wild's upcoming autumn/winter 2007 collection looks very promising. The work of graphic design duo Kai and Sunny, the two have worked together since college handling everything from illustration and art direction for companies such as Nike and Levi's, but some of their best work comes from their very own label, Call of the Wild. For their newest collection...

Oliver Spencer
Like Paul Smith, London-based Oliver Spencer has a definite knack of combining the tailored with the relaxed, culminating in a look that is uniquely his. For me, his stand-out designs are his outerwear (see above for examples from the past couple of seasons). Across the board, the silhouette is clean and undeniably British, with just hint of Mod. Stockist information can be found at...
