JACK LONDON

posted by Youth Works on Monday, November 09, 2009

In collaboration with Melbourne based clothing company Factory X, JACK LONDON is a relatively new and innovative menswear brand available at YOUTHWORKS.

Designed by indie rocker-Karl Bartl, “I am inspired by boyish, punky looking men. As a result the cuts are very thin, I like to use straight lines and have the silhouette appear angular. I am always thinking about how I can keep a garment simple and elegant, so I will often play with colour, prints and fabric. I take a lot of inspiration from late night bars and clubs – the mood of the early hours of the morning, ominous silhouettes, falling shadows and glimpses of lights” Jack London revisits the period of “fashion as art and culture” was in its heyday. The look is captured in the phrase “elegantly wasted.

YOUTHWORKS is one of the largest stockists in the country of Jack London, carrying the now famous suiting as well as the shirt, tees, shoes and accessories to match.
