French label ‘Le Mont Saint Michel’ is already blowing out one hundred candles and that calls for a celebration. That’s why designer Alexandre Milan plunged into the family archives and is now relaunching a few iconic items for both men and women. On top, the collection, which was appropriately named ‘100 years’, also features a number of lifestyle articles created by fellow artists and designers. Well, 100 years? That calls for a lot of hoorays.

Are you ready for the summer festivals? Even for the occasional downpour, which our regions are so famous for? No? Well in that case, London-based designer Julia Lundsten and legendary rain boot brand Nokian will help you to weather the storm.

Fred Perry’s Khaki Canvas

Elisa — Mon, 27 May 2013 18:40:51 +0000

Fred Perry is introducing yet another fantastic ‘Blank Canvas’ capsule collection. This time the clothing brand is collaborating with none other than British fashion designer Christopher Raeburn. Raeburn is known for his use of re-appropriated military fabrics throughout his collections. Therefore it’s not surprising that the S/S 2013 collab consists of three different military printed shirts. The signature laurel wreath meets Raeburn’s intelligent design and eye for detail. Oooh, Label reckons that can only be a recipe for success!

Still an Animal

But I’m still, I’m still an animal. With the lyrics of their most successful song in mind the Swedish indie pop band Miike Snow designed the new Happy Socks collection. The three versions with different colour schemes feature the band’s signature jackalope, a rabbit with antlers. Whilst this fashion season is all about socks, Label is convinced that these happy pairs will strike gold.
