Levi's Boomtown collection launch party

The finest #menswear store in Manchester and quite possibly the north of England - OiPolloi, hosted a party to coincide with the release of Levi's Boomtown collection. The capsule collection takes inspiration from the 60's and 70's Detroit soul and funk era. Two pieces caught my eye in particular, the bowling style long sleeve knit in mustard, think more Goodfellas than Homer Simpson, and the chords were pretty slick too, slim cut in bold hues. All pieces have a modern silhouette and an update on materials with a nod to the Boomtown era. Really refreshing from Levi's to create a collection with a different historical twist (as opposed to heritage denim stories that everyone with a denim collection seems to be banging on about) 

The night started at 8 in store, naturally my friends and I were late. We managed to take a few photos whilst simultaneously drinking and eating everything in site before heading to 2022NQ for a FREE BAR (LEVIS KNOW WADDUP THO)

Like true dickheads we made a run for these as opposed to speaking to the people in store. 

Chad chatting shit about something. Probably beard related.

Ate everything like the true fat prick I am (THIS IS WHY DOLCE AND GABBANA UNDERWEAR WILL NEVER LOOK GOOD ON ME) 

Kurt in awe of the beautifully hand stitched goodness. Dem boots tho. 

Yours truly trying to appreciate beer. Not a fan.

Han Kjøbenhavn are Danish and like Danish pastries are something you want. 

I like my fizzy sugary beverages like my suits, Italian.

Pete in his new Pigaelle hat. Believe it's 100% (one hunned) mohair. Believe it's from Paris. 

Big up the company that provided the drinks and pizza. It was banging. 

Kurt loves a Japanese Gore-Tex shell (who dosen't? Oh yeah relaly fit girls, they think they look shit) 

Price point like woah

Chad really enjoying that issue of Inventory 

Thank you to OiPolloi, Levi's and whomever paid the bar tab.

Louis Vuitton end of year par-tay

A client of mine at work gave me his invite to a Louis Vuitton party, I felt as if I'd won the lottery. 

Here's what happened. 

Arrived to a lady giving me these cocktails, she said they were non alcholic. This upset me. (everyone was probably thinking i was instagramming my self like 'mad rich alert', I'm not Yeezus tho)

Big fan of the red block Damier print luggage. Not a fan of the price point.

This guy made a run for us as soon as he was given a tray of food. Top stuff, the lamb on sweet potato was the best thing there although everything I ate there was the best thing I'd ever put in my mouth ever.

Here is a £600 washbag. nice.

Kurt discussing the pro's and cons of a good double monk strap

  

You'd assume they'd be serving Moet or Veuve Clicquot at an LVMH event but apparently not, this guy was plying us with this stuff. In the wise words of A$AP Rocky, Ain't no different when you taste it

This trunk was made before people used to like each others things on Instagram

Pinky out, looking all civilised and shit

Thank you for the brilliant evening Louis Vuitton.
