Adidas Originals are the uniform of the effortlessly cool. Chuck in a bit of northern grit, and the trainers look just right on the likes of the Oasis front man Noel Gallagher. Gallagher loved the retro Adidas trainers so much he swapped his obsession for the partying lifestyle for an obsession with Adidas trainers - it's said he has hundreds of Adidas shoes in mint condition. He quipped he gave up being a professional drug user to indulge in his Adidas vice.

SLVR is an Aspecto exclusive for AW10 as previously it had only been available in selected Adidas Originals stores.

The Aspecto buyers feel that this range of hi tops and chukka style footwear offer premium fashion sportswear at its best and its perfect for our customers.

The Aspecto buying team will tell you how difficult it is to find great belts at the right price but Anderson, with their Italian heritage, great leathers and woven fabric belts do appear to be the best out there.

Hard to believe but Birkenstock is over 200 years old and still going strong. The Birkenstock sandal whether it is the men’s Arizona or the Women’s Madrid have been part of the Aspecto summer wardrobe since the Company’s inception in1986. The brand itself was Drapers ‘Footwear brand of the Year’ in 2004 and the sandals are still the best of their type in the marketplace. The flexible arch and moulded cork footbed are designed to assist with the mechanics of walking and therein lies the secret of their success; style and comfort ingredients hard to resist.

Aspecto was at the vanguards in retailing the Camper footwear brand in the UK. Camper create innovative and quirky shoe designs inspired by Majorca's countryside using the best quality leathers available. The Camper brand offers the Aspecto customer neither a trainer nor a formal shoe but a stylish unit of casual footwear. The innovative designs ensure that Camper customers return to the Aspecto store time and again.

These shoes are a generous fit and you may find the need to size down from your regular shoe size.

Whilst Camper was established in 1975 it is the living history of a family business stretching back for more than four generations.

Essentially a work wear brand from the USA Carhartt do have a great range of wardrobe basics at great prices. Please note that the jeans are generous on their sizing this season and we would recommend that you size down one full size.

Carhartt has been an Aspecto favourite for some years and we offer a range of staple products at great prices. Carhartt uses high quality fabrics and this coupled with the rugged construction and comfortable fit of their garments is core to this brand of work wear.

Clarks Originals is known for its fashion heritage and in this fashion conscious age the brand ignites our passion for all things 'Old Skool'. Clarks Originals have stood the test of time and the brand retains a huge amount of kudos spanning the decades from the likes of Oasis to Steve McQueen in the The Great Escape. Aspecto has a selection of desert boots and wallabees available online and in store.

Clarks started operating in 1950 with the Originals brand breaking away from Clarks in 1995 to become a brand in its own right. The Desert boot is celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2009.

The buying team at Aspecto have a bit of a 'thing' for the up and coming Cruyff label. Essentially the appearance of these shoes is old football boot meets modern styling. The shoes are a little flamboyant but it is fresh and here at Aspecto we think there is a point of difference between Cruyff and other brands targeting the same market.

Johan Cruyff's vision became reality when he began working with another legend and
close friend, Emilio Lazzarini, a famous Italian designer. Lazzarini is responsible
for the flexibility and comfort that is integrated into each and every design. Cruyff
is responsible for pioneering the revolutionary combination of functionality and
elegance in a sportswear brand.

The current trend appears to be 'all things Scandinavian' this season particularly when it comes to denim. The Dr Denim brand is new to Aspecto and our Buyers feel it is a great entry point with very reasonably priced denim and distribution is restricted. This range is quite small fitting so you may need to size up one full size.

Yet another Swedish based jeans operator to appear in the market Dr Denim was established in August 2004 in Copenhagen. The jeans on offer within this brand are rooted in vintage styling and the range includes vintage characteristics such as 15.5 oz orange selvedge denim. Among the fabrics without selvedge you will find are a range of slub, crossfire, flat finish and stretch compositions. All fabrics are sanforized; a trademark used for fabric pre shrunk by a patented mechanical process so as to minimize later shrinkage.

Edwin is an ever growing brand and a favourite with staff and customers alike. Edwin use Japanese denim to its very best and have created a cool denim brand which is not overly expensive and the washes and fit are terrific.

Edwin started jeans production in 1961 and the brand has come to the forefront of the jean market because of their innovative washing processes and techniques. The jeans are ever popular with Aspecto staff and customers alike.

Hidehiko Yamane was the founder came across a 1950s American loom capable of weaving forty metres of a selvedge denim a day. He personally used to paint his famous seagull logo on each article, a long and expensive process. Demand has moved the brand forward and the range has been extended. The iconic logo is a firm favourite with many of our Aspecto customers.

Fred Perry the man
It’s not often we Brits have a sportsman to shout about but Fred was a working class hero from a socialist background in the North of England who, despite the prejudices of the All England Club became the best tennis player the UK has ever seen winning four grand slams. Fred faced the disapproval of the establishment not only because of his origins but because he always dressed impeccably on court and was not afraid of ‘gamesmanship’ in fact he’d do anything to win. Fred played as an amateur until 1936 when he became an American citizen and coached the likes of the Marx Brothers, Chaplin, Flynn and Niven. A damaged elbow brought the end to his playing career when he became a commentator for the BBC.

Fred Perry the brand
In 1941 Tibby Wenger asked Perry to endorse one of his products and after some deliberation Perry decided to become a partner in the brand. The first iconic sports polo shirt with its slim line shape came into being in 1952 when in a cute marketing move Fred handed his shirts out to Wimbledon players …it was the first time Wimbledon was televised and his product placement ensured that the brand would be a huge success.

Fred Perry the logo
The laurel wreath originated from the Lawn Tennis Association and was the logo which appeared on Davis Cup clothing back in the 1930s. Fred approached the LTA who agreed he could use the insignia and it is now one of the best known logos worldwide.

Who wears Fred Perry
Fred’s astute marketing came to the fore when he began to initial shirts (two letters only) for celebrities which dissuaded them from selling them. There were only three exceptions to this rule, Perry himself, John F Kennedy and Billy Jean King.

This classic garment has been adopted by music genres since its inception; Mods, Skinheads, Suedeheads, Soul Boys, Rude Boys, Punk, New Wave, Britpop, Electronic Rave, Indie revival. The natural progression for the brand was to become involved in new music initiatives which it did with Subculture. The iconic shirt has been cherished by the likes of
Paul Weller, Rankin, Norman Cook, Badly Drawn Boy and the sadly missed John Peel. You can now buy into this brand at Aspecto.

G-Star Raw – Utilitarian street wear and designer denim – buy G-Star Raw at competitive online prices from Aspecto.
G-Star Raw is revolutionary. The G-Star brand turned the world of denim on its head with its tough, street vibes and dynamic designer eye. And G-Star Raw's collaboration with one of the world's leading interior designers, Marc Newson, triggered a loyal and dedicated following. Newson is unlike any other designer with his vision focused on the futuristic. His style has been dubbed 'bio-morphism' and has been lifted from the world of aerodynamics with smooth lines and ergonomic cuts.

G-Star Raw – Flying High
G-Star Raw made its name with designer denim. The Holland based brand went onto global domination thanks to its clever appropriation of some of the most edgy designers at work. Some of its street wear could be lifted from some cult sci-fi movie, where the actors look achingly cool. G-Star Raw clothes don't date because they set trends rather than follow them. It's not surprising the G-Star Raw label has been hailed by critics as transcending time. G-Star is a distinct voice in the fashion world, a force of nature like Newson's jet-like vision. (Newson has, fittingly, designed the first rocket designed to take tourists into space by 2012.)

GLTH sneakers greatest appeal with Aspecto customers is that they are hugely versatile and look good with pretty much anything. The styles Oval and Draw available at Aspecto are truly great quality lo tech sneakers at a great price point.

Goliath was founded in Holland in the mid 1920s' and started out making cricket shoes but their product has shifted into the leisure market to produce footwear which is a fusion of sports, quality, style and function.

Grenson have a long and illustrious history in the manufacture of welted footwear. Here at Aspecto we view Grenson as a key brand for SS2010 and the styles Dylan, Smith and William are readily available online and in store. Aspecto have sold Grenson footwear for many seasons and the consistency of the end product ensures the longevity of this brand.

Northamptonshire has for many centuries been the home of the English shoemaker's art and was where the Grenson shoe was born. In the mid 1800s shoe making was still a cottage industry and William Green learned the business whilst helping his mother to handcraft boots at home. William's products soon became renowned for their consistency of craftsmanship and materials; and his 'outworker contract' soon attracted the best craftsmen in the area. William realised that if he was to expand his business, keep his costs under control and remain true to the contract the best option was to build and equip his own factory; 'Greens Yard' was opened in 1874 and was amongst the first to adopt the recently invented Goodyear welt method of construction.
In the early 1950s Grenson Shoes quickly adapted to changes in public taste, for the shoe had now became the predominant form of footwear as opposed to the boot which predominated before the war.
Whilst Goodyear welted production was and still is at the heart of Grenson's business, the company has continued to explore ways in which comfort and appearance can be further enhanced with the introduction of innovations such as the Grens-in Sole to provide soft, underfoot flexibility.
Manufacturing techniques have also changed, albeit that the vast majority of their shoes are still hand-crafted. Similarly, changing lifestyles not least, increased travel by car and less walking has meant that innovation in design and use of materials has kept our range modern whilst retaining the heritage and craftsmanship that is encapsulated in the phrase: 'Grenson England's Master Shoemakers since 1866'.

Hackett provides quintessentially British kit which focuses on evolution not revolution. Hackett embodies the current season fad for all things heritage and country. Aspecto are stocking an extensive selection of polo shirts and knitwear for SS2010.

Hackett started out as a quality second hand British clothing and accessories Company but it became apparent that market demand was always going to exceed supply of quality second-hand clothing. Hackett went into manufacture to create their ideal range of clothing and accessories. The brand caters for the head to toe needs of men of all ages who wish to dress stylishly and to whom quality is more important than the vagaries of fashion. Hackett takes its inspiration from the traditions of British dress and its products are evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Parts of the range are much the same as they were twenty years ago, but as Jeremy Hackett says, our clothes wear in not out. Hackett's aim is to dress men for any occasion whether it is business, formal, country or sporting and it is perfectly encapsulated under the strap-line Essential British Kit.

Hackett reinforces its class credentials supporting British sporting associations by sponsoring: the Aston Martin Racing team, the London Rowing Club, Polo and Rugby. In 2002 Jonny Wilkinson became the face of Hackett and whilst he wasn't a household name at that stage he was in 2003 when England won the rugby world cup.

Hudson shoes are just that bit different, a fusion of English/Italian classical design skills with a quirky modern twist to tempt the taste buds of Aspecto customers looking for reasonably priced directional footwear. This season they have also added a boat shoe in the Sunseeker 3 to their range.

Hudson shoes are the footwear brand of choice for the style-conscious man - directional footwear with designer flair.
Hudson shoes were launched in 1990. Hudson is a distinctively European shoe company in that it combines traditional Italian craftsmanship with a particular UK flavour. Aspecto is proud to stock Hudson shoes. The brand not only has a firm pulse in footwear fashion but they represent the best value for money for this level of quality in designer shoes. For men looking for reasonably priced directional footwear, Hudson is hot property. And when you look at the styling and design of Hudson shoes, it isn't surprising that one of the leading and unique Hudson collections was the result of collaboration with musician, Paul Weller a few years ago. Weller is known as the 'Modfather' thanks to his dedication to mod fashion and soulful sounds.
Hudson - Rock Star Style
Weller has long been something of a self conscious style icon, managing to transcend the generations. It was something of a stroke of genius for Hudson to join forces with the musician to create a shoe that offered distinct style and quality design but was still affordable for an up-market designer brand. The London label's philosophy is to be innovative and directional in men's footwear. Like Weller, Hudson shoes are stylishly cool with a vibrancy and inventiveness that ensure Hudson stands head and shoulders above its competitors. Hudson is not scared to experiment and have since their inception tried new techniques and leathers to push the boundaries of shoe design. And Hudson are distinct in the fact the attention to detail on their shoes is painstaking - ensuring the Hudson brand may inspire copycats but they can never by truly imitated.

Buy Hudson Shoes at Aspecto
Hudson has been voted Maxim magazine's Best Men's Footwear Brand. Although the shoe has a British style, Hudson shoes tap into Italian craftsmanship and tradition. The creators of the Hudson shoe wear brand worked in an Italian men's factory - an influence that is still realised in their designs today. The Hudson design team still regularly travels the world to continually evolve their new collections and keep the Hudson ranges fresh.

The Latest Humor Clothing Collection from Aspecto

Humour clothing deserves the growing reputation it has for its off-beat, colourful and risky designs.

Humor clothing is a brand that has taken us by surprise, and has a well-deserved reputation for funky, cutting-edge designs.

The Cult of Youth Classics - Humor Clothing

Humor clothing simply flies of the shelf with good reason. The clothes appeal to the generation of young, hip and trendy men who're looking to define their individuality.

J Lindeberg has changed its profile recently and what was originally perceived as a golf brand has extended its range into men's casual fashion. Aspecto have a great selection of polos, t shirts, shirts, knitwear and pants available from this Swedish design house.

Jeffery West is another Northampton based footwear design brand of distinction but these guys do go out on a design limb with almost anal detail paid to linings, sole units, punch work and of course the ubiquitous 'cleft heel'. Aspecto love the craftsmanship which this brand undoubtedly exhibits but it's not for the shy, you will stand out in a crowd.
Jeffery West
From the outset their intention was that Jeffery~West shoes would be imbued with all the craftsmanship, quality, and pedigree available in having shoes manufactured by Northampton factories with hundreds of years of experience, but that to this history they would welt cutting edge styles, overt elegance, fulsome flamboyance, develop innovative new lasts, and utilise an array of leathers and colours, imagination all too often lacking in men's shoes, and particularly in shoes that are so well made they do not go to pieces if you look at them twice. There are those that have criticised Jeffery~West for seeming to play fast and loose with tradition but in buying a Jeffery West shoe from Aspecto you are buying the manufacturing heritage with a Jeffery West slant.

To show the cloven hoof shows a knavish intention and with all Jeffery~West shoes and boots bearing the signature style of a cleft heel since the first collection, their wearers continue to tread a line between respectability and rascality. Similarly, the red of the leather linings that have also always been a feature of Jeffery~West footwear evokes pomp and circumstance but equally revolution, decadence and darker ritual and ceremony. The idiosyncratic Jeffery~West design handwriting extends to the smallest detail; the punching is always diamond shaped, inspired both by Gothic and Victorian Gothic Revival architecture, which also directly informs the arrowhead wingtips.

In refusing to ride roughshod over either individualism or traditional qualities of craftsmanship Jeffery~West continue to cut an elegantly shoed and booted swath through the footwear market and are a firm favourite with our Aspecto customers.

It seems that Lacoste have been around for ever but this is the first season we have stocked their products at Aspecto. The brand offers the all important heritage in great summer colours to give your wardrobe a lift. The Lacoste classic fit polo shirts are slightly shorter in length and have a larger collar that those of their counterparts at Ralph Lauren.

After retiring from tennis, René Lacoste founded La Chemise Lacoste in 1933 with André Gillier, the owner and President of the largest French knitwear manufacturing firm at the time. They began to produce the revolutionary tennis shirt Lacoste had designed and worn on the tennis courts with the crocodile logo embroidered on the chest. To the best of our knowledge, this was the first time that a brand name had appeared on the outside of an article of clothing.

The Lacoste shirt immediately revolutionised men's sportswear, replacing the classical woven fabric, long-sleeved and starched shirts which players had worn on the courts until then with a jersey pique. Today, the choice between Lacoste and Ralph Lauren generally comes down to colour and cut, the American polo is cut longer and narrower whilst the Lacoste version is slightly shorter with a bigger collar.

Levi is one of the most iconic brands of the 21st century and was the originator of the blue jean. They continue to make fabulous denim whilst dipping into the archives to re-create the previous eras. A selection of key pieces from this seasons range are available at Aspecto.

Luke Clothing has been sold at Aspecto for the past couple of seasons and is a brand growing in popularity. Luke 1977 garments are well made and are competitively priced and this coupled with their tight distribution policy ensures that you don't see everyone wearing the same piece.

Behind Luke 1977 is Luke Roper, who set up the label with his lifelong friend Simon Poole. Luke was just 12 when he began his fashion career and mastered the sewing machine. The menswear brand has a loyal Indy following that has seen Luke 1977 evolve a long way from the days when Luke tested his designs on his school mates in the playground, to become a booming UK brand. By the age of 15, Luke was making shirts and trousers for friends. Luke attended Central Saint Martins College of Fashion and became known for his edgy but practical designs. Stylish but masculine was his trademark look, with a dollop of quirky humour thrown in, it's not surprising Luke 1977 became the 'bit of a rogue' of the designer labels.

The brand created 'Dresslexia' in homage to the fact many creative types suffer from dyslexia (the inability to spell). Dresslexia was a parody of the inability to dress properly attacking the masses in the pubs and clubs on a Saturday night. Luke 1977 declared they would, clean the marketplace of disco distressed denim and avoid the scenario of every Tom, Dick and Abdul wearing the same top garment!

Luke Roper's flair for fashion combined with Simon Poole's ability in fashion sales (he led the French Connection sales team before co creating Luke 1977) ensured their new label was dressed for success. The couple were eager to follow their dreams, Poole told the press about the day Luke 1977 was launched: We ended up starting the business then, in September 2001, the day the Twin Towers came down in New York. I put £80,000 in - every penny of commission I'd ever earned.
Their passion paid. Luke 1977 has made its name for the smart Saturday night crowd.

Luke 1977
Luke has extended their influence into the footwear market and has entered into a collaboration with Aspecto for a capsule collection of exclusive footwear for SS2010. These trainer hybrids should be in stock from May.

denim has the ability to age beautifully - formed by its user into a second skin, naked and personal. Nudie believe indigo to be a living colour that fades and gives the denim its character. The more you wear your Nudie jeans the more beautiful they get. They also recommend infrequent washing.
Nudie was founded in 2001 by Maria Erixon, Joakim Levin, Palle Stenberg, three Swedish denim aficionados who cut their teeth working for Lee. With no flash advertising campaigns, Nudie has built a very strong underground following and they are rated amongst the best jeans available.

This brand may not have the heritage and history of the original American denim brands, but what they do have are strong principles using the finest denim available, no sweatshop labour (production is based in Italy) and a firm belief that a good pair of jeans will outlast the whims of fashion.

Shorts, shirts, polo shirts and jackets galore from penguin this season in a kaleidoscope of colour Casual leisure wear at its best. Make a note to keep an eye out for the long sleeved knitted polos which will be huge this autumn.

Rivieras were the leisure shoes worn on the Costa Brava just after the WWII and whilst they have been re-styled they do retain that geeky 50s feel. The quintessential summer leisure shoe with a woven cotton and canvas upper, saddle stitched welt, leather insole and terry cloth lining. I did doubt our Aspecto Buyers' sanity when they purchased this brand but based upon current sales I think I will have to eat my words!

Sebago Docksides are 40 years old this year but the demand has never been greater with the nautical theme so prominent for Summer 2010. These iconic deck shoes have a seamless leather upper with slip resistant and non-marking rubber soles and the eyelets, for the hide laces, are made of non-corrosive brass. Sebago are having their third season at Aspecto and we think this could be the biggest yet.

It is unusual for a brand to restrict manufacture but Shofolk footwear have set their stall out to do precisely this ….they obviously want demand to exceed supply. Aspecto have ordered a select range of Alaric, Armstrong and Harry styles for SS2010 but the signature shoe is undoubted Armstrong which has also been carried forward into the Autumn.

Shofolk believe that uniqueness and individuality are hard to find these days and have endeavoured to provide distinctive shapes and colour palettes which distinguish their collection from the crowd. Shofolk started out in 2004 as the sister footwear brand to the Folk clothing Collection. The men's footwear collection began with hand stitched moccasins and then progressed with the addition of desert boots and track sole footwear. The quirkiness of the collection allows Shofolk to make a statement providing aspirational shoes that are made for comfort but have a fun aesthetic attention to detail that can't be found elsewhere. Shofolk products are handcrafted in Portugal and made from natural raw leathers. The Buying Team at Aspecto feel there is a need for a point of difference in footwear designs for the Summer and this brand has the potential to fill that gap in the market.

Simple make a 'nice little shoe' with an ecological feel. Simple create shoes from sustainable products so if you want to look good and help the planet this is the way to go.

Sperry offer a heritage performance deck shoe with all the right credentials in great leathers. Don't buy cheap copies they don't last but this is the real McCoy and should be worn with rolled up jeans or chinos. This is our buyers big tip for Summer 2010

Sperry Top-Sider was created in 1935 when the non-slip sole was patented by Paul Sperry after having seen his dog run without slipping on the ice. Turning over his dog's paw he noted the cracks and cuts going in all directions and this inspired his new sole unit. Since inventing the first boat shoe the brand has tended to focus on those living on and around the ocean but as most Aspecto consumers will know a deck shoe is vital in your wardrobe.

This is a collaboration between Woolrich and the New York based Japanese designer Daiki Suzuki (Engineered Garments fame). The collection stems from a desire to rediscover the American manufacturing tradition and uses traditional fabrics from Woolrich looms fused with the Japanese flare for detail and design. For all you keen spellers out there Woolen is spelt with one 'l'.

Woolrich has been around in Pennsylvania since 1830 and during the American Civil War and WWI provided uniforms for the armed forces. The product range was extended into outdoor apparel with a hunting/outdoor feel. Flannel shirts became a staple in the late 60s and in the 80s Arctic parkas as worn by construction workers in Alaska became a huge seller. Truly a heritage brand where the fabric innovations found in Goretex and Cordura have enhanced the product offering.

Y-3 is one of the all time favourite fashion collaborations. Adidas has the cultural clobber, technical know-how and global reach, whereas Yamamoto brings to the table a clever, quirky style to create the distinct Y-3 signature. Y-3 is viewed as a collector's brand thanks to their unique design.
