Form follows function

Three factors make this brand so special: the designs are created in a studio in Amsterdam, where a gigantic archive of vintage clothing from all over the world is stored, designer Marcel Verheijen's deep understanding of quality, workmanship and materials - and the fact that co-founder and designer Guy Berryman is the bassist of Coldplay. He compiled the archive, which reflects his fascination with craftsmanship, practicality and detailed workmanship. The result is constructed-looking, nerdy and technically sophisticated collection pieces. A figurehead for the internationally successful collection was found in Andreas Murkudis in Berlin.
