HIDDEN GEMS.


The Inoue Brothers.

Nom de Guerre.

As some of you know I have travelled to London alot over the last 2 months, and I have stumble upon so many incredible discoveries, and here's two more.

Danish brand 'INOUE BROTHERS' have some of the most incredible knitwear I have ever seen/touched. These Danish born Japanese brothers have a passion for soft-as-cashmere 'Alpaca' from Bolivia, and along with their attention to detail, have created some of the most luxurious jumpers and scarves available.
A percentage of all sales goes to the Bolivian Arco Iris Foundation, which supports disadvantaged youth. The jumpers are hand-stitched by local artisans.

Another label I am over the moon about is NOM DE GUERRE. Started in New York in 2003, Nom de Guerre's designs are minimal with a militray edge. The concept of the label is to combine diverse influences from Art, Music, Fashion and several other New York subcultures.
