Although fashion is an ever-evolving beast of its own, style is much more consistent and the Goodhood Store 'The Insiders' editorial addresses the style of some of the most enduring menswear labels out there. From Soulland, Gasius and AFOUR to P.A.M, Indigofera and Universal Works, the editorial highlights the brand's staples through a handful of incredibly illustrations.
Drawn by artist Jennifer Williams, the Goodhood Store 'The Insiders' editorial is quite simple. As Hypebeast points out, it "tempers with a majestic medium that’s often overshadowed by glossy photo-shoots, presenting a humble [collection] built on the foundations of pen and paper." As though it were a photoshoot shot in studio, the characters are captured against a white backdrop and stand relatively candidly in front of the 'camera' or in this case Williams' instrument of choice.
