While the summer season begins to draw to a close from a retail perspective, it has only just begun in terms of warm weather and the clothing needed to go with it. And with the heat comes the need for sartorial inspiration. With that in mind we're pleased to present a new online feature – an editorial featuring the Spring-Summer '14 White Mountaineering collection, shot by Jimi Franklin and styled by Masako Ogura.

Saucony x White Mountaineering Courageous

—01. Black & Charcoal.

Words

Saucony has always made classic running shoes in the vein of the more ubiquitous New Balance. I find them slightly more unique than New Balance, only if for the sheer fact that they are not as recognizable. White Mountaineering has done a collaboration for SS13 picking up where they left off last season with the Jazz model, they have made three different colourways in the, only slightly less retro, Courageous model.

Words

This simple tonal backpack from White Mountaineering's Wardrobe line has some nice details and comes in a variety of colours. These earth toned versions particularly caught my eye, but there's three other options available - black, navy and grey.

—01. Gore-Tex Performance Shell lining.

Words

White Mountaineering is a brand we should expect to see more of in the near future as their western world distribution has opened up this fall. One of the first shops to receive some of the fall collection is The Glade in Germany. The Luggage Jacket features a Gore-Tex shell lining, branded taped seams and an interesting expandable hood. It has more than enough storage too. The front features multiple pockets, not to mention a couple on the interior, meaning you can leave your bag at home and fill up your jacket instead.

White Mountaineering, Tokyo

—01. 2nd floor shop in Daikanyama.

Words

One of the most interesting visits we made last fall was to the White Mountaineering shop in Tokyo. We had seen a lot of the brand online and never in person, so it's always exciting meeting something in the flesh for the first time. The shop was definitely striking, from the stairway to the window to the wall. Painting things white is nothing too revolutionary, but these photos of the shop felt pretty beautiful.

In our spring issue, Owen Parrott describes the trip and afternoon we spent with White Mountaineering.

—01. Both covers will be available next week.

Words

It’s been a very compact and exciting spring so far this year as we have new developments in all aspects of Inventory, but our main focus has been the production of our second issue of the magazine. Finally our Spring–Summer 2010 issue is going to the printers and we are excited to present the two covers for the upcoming offering. We feel the new issue not only met the standard of our initial launch but perhaps exceeded it with a more diverse range of content, some great new contributors and an additional 30 pages. Featured in our spring issue are Margaret Howell, The Real McCoy’s, Beams, White Mountaineering, Our Legacy, Wm. J. Mills & Co., Unis, New Balance and several other fascinating people, brands and stories. The issue will be available to pre-order through the Inventory Stockroom next week and will be shipping and hitting shelves in early/mid-May.
