Grind London, a streetwear brand, is celebrating its global range with the release of a 2016 Fall/Winter lookbook that's lensed in the city of Tokyo -- while models sport apparel that speaks to its international inspiration.
The pieces within the collection have a vintage feel to them, with muted colorways and old-school sport styles working to this end. Many of the more season-ready pieces remain without obvious branding -- taken over by simple monochrome tones that add to the versatility of the collection.
Some staples in the collection target Grind London's international inspiration more exclusively, featuring the words "International Grind London" on the front of crew necks or imagery of a globe. The UK brand also does this simply by taking to diverse cities for its campaigns, allowing it to access some of the culture that it aims to incorporate more directly.
