Weekend Viewing: Bande à Part

Video

—01. Dance scene.

Words

With a drop in temperature and Ballet BC opening this weekend in Vancouver, it felt like an appropriate time to highlight this scene specifically. The styling in Godard's classic film is especially perfect and well-suited to the black and white aesthetic, but even more appealing is the casually choreographed improv dance sequence amongst friends.

GRP Bubble Jumper

—01. Merino wool.

Words

This sweater from Italian knitwear company, GRP, combines an interesting bubble pattern with a great choice of colour for a unique crew neck option. It would be the perfect casual weekend sweater, worn with jeans and boots or even dressed up a bit with trousers and a shirt. The contrasting waistband, collar and cuffs are a nice touch, but it’s mostly the bubble pattern that had me convinced.

Tanner Goods Utica Driver Gloves

—01. Horween Utica Leather.

Words

Tanner Goods recently released these incredibly simple driving gloves made from a maple-coloured Utica leather that they worked on with Horween. Sure to be the only gloves you’ll need for the winter, and years to come for that matter, the rugged yet refined leather will only get better with age, softening and shaping to your hands as it breaks in. I was sold, knowing that this is the same leather used by WWII paratroopers, and if it can stand up to the rigorous paces they would have put it through, it will definitely fare well in everyday use.

Adidas Originals Suisse

Words

The Suisse is not a style I was ever aware of, but next to a lot of Adidas Originals reissues it stands out as an interesting choice. Pairing more modern elements with a somewhat retro shape, the late '80s style bridges the gap between the well-known classics Adidas offers and some of their contemporary designs.
