British Impact at K-MB
by Johannes Keil posted on April 08, 2009K-MB with its fancy loft office and its charming staff offered a great diversity in the brands they represent.
From Absolut Vodka with their colorful “dressed” bottles to the amazing – toy or tool – Jawbone, a Bluetooth headset with NoiseAssassin™ that eliminates every disturbing sound while you are on the phone: everything had a high entertainment value.
When it comes to fashion, our favorite brand was drykorn. The label from Southern Germany has strong connections to the music business, outfitting the likes of Take That and Swedish indie rockers Mando Diao with their latest fashions. With its extraordinarily strong menswear, drykorn’s new collection is inspired by 1970s London mixed with the decadence of the British Upper Class: an unusual democratic mix of aristocrat styles and the rough charm of the working class.
Fenchurch, with their remarkable logo that somehow reminds me of a gothic church window, was born out of London’s beloved skater scene at the dawn of the new millennium. Hanging in there somewhere between casual streetwear and statement trend pieces – and perhaps a pinch of high-street style – Fenchurch finds a niche with their unique designs. They are also sporting an eco-friendly range. Talking about ecological: BIO SHIRT COMPANY is in the vanguard with their cute and absolutely fair traded pieces.
We think, K-MB have a recipe for steady success when it comes to promoting the “cool” in brands!… Plus, they gave us stylish checkered slippers, too.
