Aphrodite Introducing: Sandbanks

Sandbanks: Where Luxury Meets Sustainability

In an era where fashion often overlooks its environmental footprint, Sandbanks Clothing emerges as a shining example of luxury with a conscience. This fashion brand is not just about looking good; it’s about making a meaningful impact on our planet. Sandbanks is all about prioritising sustainability and taking responsibility for the environment.

What Are Sandbanks All About?

Luxury, Sustainability, and Regeneration

Sandbanks is a luxury fashion brand that places sustainability at the heart of its mission. Their products are crafted from recycled and regenerated materials, specifically sourced from post-consumer plastic waste found in the oceans and landfills. By giving new life to discarded materials, Sandbanks not only creates exquisite fashion but also contributes to reducing the environmental burden.

What sets Sandbanks apart is its commitment to the environment. They collaborate with partners who offer access to premium sustainable and technical fabrics and components. Moreover, each product is meticulously designed with longevity in mind. This ensures that every piece stands the test of time, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimising waste. With this emphasis on sustainable, ecologically-minded practises, the Sandbanks purchase you choose to make at Aphrodite – be it a soft cotton Sandbanks T-Shirt, a versatile pique Sandbanks Polo Shirt or an Autumn/Winter-ready Sandbanks Gilet – becomes more than just a fleeting, trend-oriented cop; its an investment for the future of both your wardrobe and of our planet.

What Makes Sandbanks So Eco-Friendly?

Carbon-Neutral and Climate-Positive

Sandbanks goes the extra mile by being a carbon-neutral and climate-positive brand. At each stage of a garment’s journey, from design to the hands of the customer, they offset their carbon emissions. This demonstrates their unwavering dedication to making a positive impact on the environment.

Additionally, Sandbanks embraces a zero real fur and down policy. By opting for eco-friendly alternatives, they contribute to saving countless animals from exploitation. It’s a commitment to ethics and sustainability that resonates with those who value both style and conscience.

What Do Sandbanks Stand For?

Battling the Culture of Excess

Sandbanks’ ethos is rooted in addressing the excessive consumption culture that prevails in today’s society. This culture has, unfortunately, contributed to severe consequences for our planet. The unrelenting desire for more has given rise to a culture that exacerbates prevalent climate issues, including the plastic epidemic, rising carbon emissions, and unsustainable fashion practices.

The plastic pollution crisis is a pressing concern, with a staggering amount of plastic waste never making it into recycling facilities. This not only pollutes our environment but also endangers marine life, disrupting ecosystems and contaminating our food chain with toxic microplastics.

Fashion consumption has surged, resulting in a shocking amount of clothing ending up in landfills each year. The traditional luxury fashion industry’s use of real fur and down has also faced scrutiny. Many are questioning the necessity of these materials when eco-friendly alternatives can prevent the exploitation of millions of animals.

It’s increasingly evident that sustainable, responsible, and ethical options are not just desirable but essential to combat these pressing issues and safeguard our planet’s future.

Who Is Wearing Sandbanks?

A Celebrity-Backed Movement

Sandbanks has garnered a loyal following, including sporting figures like Jamie Carragher, Gary Neville and Jamie Redknapp, who acted as a brand ambassador for the business since its emergence. Such prominent figures recognise the significance of aligning with a brand that combines luxury with sustainability, setting an example for fashion enthusiasts and the industry as a whole.

Why Choose Sandbanks?

Sandbanks Clothing is more than a fashion brand; it’s a statement of values. By choosing Sandbanks, you’re not just embracing style; you’re contributing to a brighter and more sustainable future for our planet. It’s a brand where luxury and sustainability coexist harmoniously, where each purchase is a step towards making a positive impact. Join the movement today, and together, we can redefine fashion by prioritising ethics and the environment.

Aphrodite Introducing: Undercover

Undercover: Where Design Meets Rebellion

In the realm of fashion, where trends come and go, there are those rare brands that reject convention and stand as beacons of creativity. Among these avant-garde trailblazers lies Undercover, a Japanese fashion label that effortlessly marries rebellion, intellect, and artistic aesthetics.

Let us take you on a journey into the brand’s history, the visionary mind behind its inception, and the fundamentals that have propelled it into the heady heights of fashion greatness.

Who Are Undercover?

Delving into the Origins of a Remarkable Brand: The Spark of Subversion

Since its beginning in 1993, Undercover has epitomised a fearless rebellion against the ordinary. It was born from the fusion of Tokyo’s punk and street culture, where Jun Takahashi, the mastermind behind the brand, unearthed a rich seam of inspiration. This cultural melting-pot provided the fuel for Takahashi’s desire to question societal norms and transcend established fashion norms. Harnessing inspiration from those he looked up to, Jun combined Vivienne Westwood’s ethereal Punk essence, Rei Kawakubo’s avant-garde aesthetic and close friend, Nigo’s streetwear intellect to inspire his creativity. The result? Undercover’s early collections, which seamlessly blended both intellectual and creative rebellion with avant-garde design. These pieces weren’t intended to be simply worn but to leave an indelible mark on the wearer. This ability to encapsulate the essence of subcultures and seamlessly translate them onto high-fashion canvases became the cornerstone of Undercover’s identity.

Undercover’s Visionary Founder: Jun Takahashi’s Enigmatic Imprint

At the centre of Undercover’s story stands Jun Takahashi, an enigmatic figure whose visionary pursuits have elevated him to god-like status within the fashion sphere. Possessing a remarkable eye for experimentation and a private nature, Takahashi has allowed his designs to speak on his behalf. His artistry lies in his adeptness at embracing contradictions, avoiding all categorisation, and giving voice to his creative endeavours through fabric and form. Yet, his influence transcends the clothing world. Collaborations with revered artists, musicians, and brands blur the boundary between fashion and art, while the brand’s runway presentations have morphed into immersive theatrical events that defy traditional fashion shows.

Defying Norms: The Essence of Undercover’s Design Philosophy

The essence of Undercover’s design philosophy revolves around celebrating the beauty within the unconventional. Every collection is filled with unexpected silhouettes, and intricate details. Inspired by literature, music, and cinema, Undercover’s designs transcend the limitations of fashion. Takahashi’s intention is to instead create stories; stories revolving around the wearer, the garment, the intersection between fashion and art, even stories about the founder himself. The brand’s unique ability to effortlessly blend high fashion with elements of streetwear has earned it a devoted following of enthusiasts who are willing to share in the founder’s unique worldview and design philosophy.

Unbroken Rebellion: Undercover’s Transformative Journey

From its audacious inception to its current stature as a paragon of fashion innovation, Undercover’s journey serves as a testament to the potential of creativity and non-conformity. Jun Takahashi‘s unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries and defying conventions has cemented Undercover’s position as an influential brand. This trajectory underscores the power of daring to think beyond the limits, culminating in an evolution that mirrors the brand’s very essence – a rebellious yet refined transformation.

The Dawn of a New Chapter: Undercover at Aphrodite1994

With Undercover’s upcoming launch at Aphrodite, our style-conscious community eagerly awaits their mix of rebellious creativity and avant-garde style. It’s an opportunity to explore the unique world of a special brand, where fashion becomes a place for fresh ideas and exploration. Undercover’s blend of creative rebellion and thoughtful design acts as a firm reminder that fashion can push limits and create spaces where creativity can flourish.

We urge our loyal following to embrace these uncharted fashion territories, where rules are constantly re-written with every silhouette and as the spotlight shifts towards Undercover’s arrival at Aphrodite, we’re excited to witness their embodiment of creative exploration first hand aiming to reshape our understanding of what menswear can exist as.

Stussy SS20 Collection: First Look

Brand Staples Are Steered Into A Subversive New Direction.

Informed by the breezy, laidback living of America’s west coast, Stussy’s SS20 offering is exactly as it states; a capsule that perfectly personifies the two warmer seasons simultaneously, utilising myriads of saturated hues, psychedelic prints and an assortment of comfort-heavy silhouettes.

It goes without saying that this season’s collection is wholly littered in Jan Stussy’s iconic signature; a scribble now so recognisable that it’s almost become a byword for the tranquil vibrations of Laguna Beach – Shawn Stussy’s Cali native – and the streetwear scene as a collective. In addition to the label’s unwavering, seasonless typeface, an abundance of habitual designs also resume their tenancy within the Stussy SS20 collection; think loose-fitting, fleece-lined sweats that call on Stussy’s longtime skating credentials and bucket hats designed for shielding Orange County’s sun-drenched visage.

Presenting a welcomed twist on the norm, this exemplary SS20 Stussy hoodie (pictured below) comes draped in blacked-out cotton, featuring the brand’s printed logo minimised to the chest, accompanied by a trio of surrounding colourful dots. To the reverse, the hooded garment boasts a series of abstract illustrations, including an image of a gorilla and nature visuals, which merge to the tune of ‘Stussy International Design Corporation’ wording, demonstrating and then elevating the idiosyncratic taste of the streetwear stalwart – as we’ve encountered a number of times throughout previous seasons.

For those with a penchant for Stussy outerwear, these next two styles are sure to please. Bundled in a shade of mustard with overlays of eye-catching tie-dye, Stussy’s latest polar fleece is guaranteed to turn heads; as well as its super-soft texture, the garment is also equipped with a mock neck for sealing out cool drafts, while its three-pocket construction wears the label’s moniker on its sleeve like a badge of industry honour. And for those not brave enough to wear the previously mentioned pullover? Turn your attention to the collection’s more pared-back anorak, available in both all-black and this diffused yellow colourway (pictured below), featuring a half-zip closure with storm flap, concealed chest pocket and unmissable branding.

On the whole, the Stussy SS20 collection is leisurely and dynamic. Conventional, comforting shapes are imbued with a range of off-kilter accents, accessories are practical and weather-ready yet remain band on-trend, while hues are varied in tone and vibrancy, promising, in turn, to command an audience down in the streets without over-stepping the mark. Accumulate a dependable, Cali-endorsed rotation from this entire Stussy SS20 serving – available at Aphrodite in-store and online from 21/02/2020.
