The Neighborhood Spring/Summer 2013 men's collection is a celebration of vintage-inspired looks. The stylish series features a full range of retro-feel apparel. Neighborhood is a Tokyo brand developed by designer Shinsuke Takizawa. He was inspired by motorcycles and the sub-cultures associated with the sport.
His clothing line is ingrained with the themes related to the motorcycle culture; bikers, Native American influence, military and outdoor traditions. His S/S 2013 men's collection is the embodiment of all the above. There are Native-inspired pieces, such as headdresses, fur, beading and tribal prints. There are hints of biker themes with leather bombers, vests and gloves and a garage feel with one-piece embroidered jumpers.
The neighborhood Spring/Summer 2013 collection pays homage to the past and active sub-cultures.
