the collection focuses on the nostalgia of the humble camping trip, evident in the use of compact twills, coated fabrics and purposeful details, designed to function. these feature heavily across a range of traditional outerwear styles, made contemporary through styling, fabrication and the confident use of block colour. a key style is the anorak, an essential piece of kit for the great british (columbian) summer! shirting features laundered fabrics and cotton chambrays while madras checks add a colourful burst to an offering of traditional ginghams and a reworked oxford shirt, featuring a smaller button-down and slim silhouette. the classic chino is given a new fit, bringing this summer staple up-to-date with a relaxed carrot leg shape and a drop-crotch. bold, blown out gingham shorts in bright colours are cut just below the knee, while an array of chino styles are perfect for the chillier days or the evening.

still life is fully stocked with pieces from the spring 2011 ben sherman collection - come by this week for first dibs on styles, and preview the collection and its inspiration in the video below.
