Ralph Lauren recently released his Spring 2012 line, which is great if you happen to live in the Northern Hemisphere. For everyone living in Australia (especially us poor Canberra folk with the relentless rain) we may have to deal with the impending cold as autumn is upon us, but we can at least look good. The Denim & Supply Spring 2012 collection is inspired by nautical adventurers and the laid-back bohemian look, kinda like casual retro, and is offering up another solid mix of product. The denim’s delivered in an array of softly washed colours and textures in a palette of ivory and indigo, while other pieces such as lightweight knits, bleached fleece and distressed outerwear add to the nautical theme of the collection. Its rugged meets relaxed. Adding promising up and comer Hampus Lück to last season’s cast of models with Christian Brylle, Randy Lebeau and Thiago Santos, the lineup is perfectly portrayed with an artisan touch. From soft washed fabrics and a stealth nautical motif to an eclectic array of separates, Denim & Supply executes a relaxed collection of smart pieces. It just looks fucken great. And that’s all that matters
