NATURAL SELECTION DENIM – Germany Road-trip


“1,820 km – about 17 hours 44 mins”

Only the advisory speed limit (Richtgeschwindigkeit) of the German autobahn is 130 km/h (80 mph), but there is NO general speed limit.

We shaved a little time off the clock!

Here is a small photo diary of the five days GOTS spent in Germany. The Mission – A research trip for NATURAL SELECTION DENIM.



































































































































































































































Some of the people we spent time with along the way:

Daniel and Dominick of 14oz Berlin, who are a key stockist of NATURAL SELECTION DENIM - www.14oz.net

Craemer & Co in Nurmeberg – www.craemerco.de

Jaspers in Dusseldorf – www.go-jaspers.de

The store of Uwe Van Afferdon – www.van-afferden.com

The Agentur Treibstoff showroom – www.agenturtreibstoff.blogspot.com

Natural Selection making waves in GQ this month








































GQ have featured Natural Selection Denim as one of their four British Trailblazers in an article celebrating menswear from these shores…  & we’re in good company too sitting alongside Aitor Throup, A Sauvage & Nigel Cabourn.

NS’s Paul & Richard rolled up their sleeves for a spot of arm-wrestling & an interview about the brand. Who won? That would be telling…


Imran drops by to have a look…..
































Imran from The Business Of Fashion dropped by the building today to take a look at our wears. Nice piece of Reilly he’s got going on there !

Gainsbourg.

Really can’t wait to see this, it opens this evening, a must !
Gainsbourg is a glimpse at the life of French singer Serge Gainsbourg, from growing up in 1940s Nazi-occupied Paris through his successful song-writing years in the 1960s to his death in 1991 at the age of 62.


Reflecting on the Big Apple

I was born here, I started my career here, proposed to my wife here and come here at least twice a year.

NYC still inspires me, invigorates and suprises me and now here on my first official trip for Natural Selection Denim (we have opened a beautiful showroom in the Meatpacking District), armed with a brand new iPhone4, I thought I would share some small observations and suprises)

The building opposite the office we opened in 2002 (for Rhombus, the fund behind GOTS) now has a "Borg Cube" extension?!

High Line and the Standard. NYC shows its ingenuity with public spaces on the tiny island

Katie Lydon's apartment. Her beautiful "flying light bulbs" lamp.

@ Katie Lydon : thank you for letting us stay!
