After attending their London fashion week presentation, we caught up with B Store’s Matthew Murphy to find out about what B Store are up to, their growing womenswear collection and what’s next.

We caught up with Chris Shannon after his sportswear influenced, comb-filled show on Wednesday and spoke briefly with him about the brand, where it’s going and, of course, the new collection. Take a leap to read it.

Without getting too ‘pop eats itself’ about the whole thing, we’ve always been interested in showcasing some of the interesting people working behind the scenes of fashion. So we decided to launch a ’speaking with’ series where we talk to said people, finding who they are, what they do and how they got there.  Consider it the ‘in the actors studio’ of our interview series. First up is Brian Awitan, who you can read more about after the leap.

Coming to our attentions via a trip round Berlin’s Mitte ‘hood, Homecore is a French brand that has edged into the more mature realms of casual work-wear, while never forgetting its street-wear roots. Find out more with our Q&A with the founder Alexandre Guarneri after the leap.

If you’re feeling in the mood to look at pictures of things that carry stuff really well, look really great and feel really fantastic, well let me tell you, you’re in the right place. We caught up with James Kemp to tells us more about Bag N Noun, who we discovered through 3939 shop.

By this point you’ve probably read a little bit about One Nine Zero Six. You’ll also probably have noticed that we’ve taken quite the shine to the brand. So to find out more, we spoke to Dean Webster, man behind the brand to find out a little more about it.

Though they span the realms of art, film and music, Uniforms for the Dedicated are, well, dedicated to clothes and they consistently create canny garments with a rebellious playfulness at their core. We spoke to Fredrik Wikholm to find out more.

Functional, intelligent and meticulous, Christopher Raeburn is re-appropriating the notion of re-appropriation to create sustainable, ethical designs that consistently manage to push the envelope. We caught up with him to find out more about the label and also took some snaps of him and his studio.

Take a leap to have a read and a gander.

The second look series rolls on with a look at British designer Lou Dalton. We talk about everything from her AW10 presentation to patchwork to one of her more notable ex catwalk models.
