Style
Gordon Wants You
Grab Gordon, Benjamin and Timothy. All reduced by 20%.
Gordon (pictured) is a playful chap, he is a bit different and likes to be seen.
Benjamin on the other hand is more refined. He gets noticed, but doesn’t shout about it.
Finally there’s Timothy. He’s a slick, stylish fella. You can depend on him, but he will occasionally take you by surprise.
All three together? You bet.
The Reading Room
Carine Roitfeld’s “Irreverent” is as beautiful on the inside as it is the outside.
Released in October this year, the book is bursting with iconic images.
A retrospective look at the career of one of fashion’s most influential people.
Definately highly recomended by us here at Ocha and Garth.
Style Icons | David Bowie
All hail Ziggy.
When it comes to people we consider style icons, there are a few that stand out. It is easy to throw around the term “icon” and it is used all too frequently.
David Bowie is one instance where this is not the case. If anyone is desreving of the term it is Bowie.
Being a bonafide leader takes fearlessness. Whether it be music, fashion, films. Not being afraid to follow your heart.
Letting the outside reflect the inside as completely as possible. David Bowie was all these things and more. And still is. A perfect example of British eccentricity and individuality.
His influence can still be seen today within youth culture and his music sounds as innovative today as it did the day it was released. We often find ourselves pondering “what would Bowie do?” in the studio. Push the limits.
We tip our hat to you Mr Bowie.
The Reading Room | Menswear Bible
There are books on every subject under the Sun and beyond.
But occasionally a book will establish itself from the crowd and become something of an icon itself.
Have you ever pondered the mysteries of menswear? Well, we may have the answer. “One Hundred Years Of Menswear” by Cally Blackman has become nothing short of a bible here at Ocha and Garth. Rare photography and illustrations trace the history of menswear through the 20th Century.
A truly remarkable and fascinating book that is an absolute must for anyone interested in the genre.
The author, a London-based writer and lecturer, deals with the impact of icons such as Cardin, Armani, Lauren et al through to the street fashions of the 60′s and beyond, this is an indispensable historical encyclopedia of men’s fashion. We highly recommend indulging in this Tour de Force.
We salute you Cally Blackman.
