AllSaints Taps Archibald Optics for First Co-Branded Partnership

In celebration of its 21st anniversary, fashion brand AllSaints expands its understated line with a first ever co-branded partnership, teaming up with London-based label Archibald Optics for an inherently unique capsule collection of eyewear. Featuring six bold designs that adhere to no concurrent aesthetic or style, this medley of optics can fit any aesthetic or personal branding regardless of desired shape and structure. Available in frame variations of slate, black scratch, ebony, and tortoise, the sometimes aqua, sometimes russet lenses vary in shape and size just as often as they vary in tonal polish.

Founded in London in 2013, Archibald Optics bears a fabled history of Japanese optical talent that combines a British expression with a tried-and-true ancient practice. The handcrafted, no-pair-is-exactly-the-same approach that accompanies each piece seems an unrelated vision to AllSaints, where sharp edges and clean cuts dominate a style that is thought out and meticulously constructed. The new eyewear line, perhaps, is AllSaints foray into a more broken down and malleable aesthetic, one that covers both the reserved–see the Chord model–and the risk-taker– shown through the Collide. The collection is uniquely its own in grace and execution and bleeds personality in a newfound focus on interpretive originality. The ULTRAThin lenses, known as the Archibald staple, finish off an imperfectly perfect line for AllSaints as it sheds a leather-bound past for a future of universality.

The AllSaints x Archibald Optics collection is available now.

AllSaints Short Film Turns NY and LA into a Runway

Video: AllSaints.

In celebration of its Spring 2015 collection entitled Runway, AllSaints has created a short film inspired by the brand’s global momentum.

Showcasing an independent spirit, model of the moment Camille Rowe and Texan model/artist Cole Mohr journey through streets and rooftops of New York and LA; two cities geographically polarized, but also connected by their freedom of expression, global influence, and creative communities.

AllSaints’ Creative Director Wil Beedle comments, “From the Brooklyn Bridge to downtown LA, ‘Runway’ captures our Spring collections in constant movement, set against iconic backdrops of contemporary city life. The film represents the true dynamics of AllSaints – created in East London to be worn on the move, in the city, across the globe.”

In garments evoking a sense of travel; this season’s AllSaints menswear collection integrates tribal archetypes; military, biker, tropical, and the brand’s own signature silhouettes. With military jackets worn as Hawaiian shirts, tropical jackets turned into blazers, and lace-up brogues with zips instead of laces, nothing is quite as it seems this Spring 2015.
