ANOTHER LEVEL

ANOTHER8  //  SS14

It's no secret that I'm a huge fangirl for homegrown British talent, and I ain't just talking about the tatt'd beardy beauts that inhabit East LDN. Invited by the gang at Protein to preview a new urban luxe UK start-up I snatched my SLR and headed to Hewett St excited to see what London label Another8 had in store.

Greeted by a gorge giant quilted leather backpack sat atop a shelf at the doorway I was immediately in awe of the modern aesthetic and somehow resisted the urge to snatch and run. Just about may I add. Into the belly of the brand's launch my eyeballs were overwhelmed by sleek statement streetwear. Oversized androgynous tees, sumptuous embroidered leather, quilted patent pencil skirts and pastel crepe co-ords - twas my dream wardrobe dotted around a room! Another8's aim is to bridge the gap between high end and high street, creating an urban collection with a feminine edge, having left their launch with a wishlist of affordable directional designs as long as my arm I'd say they've got it sussed.

Point your peepers at Another8.co.uk and thank me later.

Does Another8's urban luxe loot do it for YOU???
