The past is often an inspiration for the future in relation to design. The ability to look back and re-create garments from distant days serves as a refreshing injection of originality; offering a fresh perspective on the current array of mundane ideas. This ideology is exactly what Umbro have used to rediscover two of its most iconic items with the helping hand of knitwear specialist John Smedley. Unearthed from the Umbro archives, the design team encountered two pieces from the 1940’s. Originally a warm up top in 1948 – the re-make preserves most of its original characteristics from its predecessor, featuring a distinctively retro cut. Crafted from John Smedley’s sea island cotton in a 24 gauge knit, the updated model is available in a dark navy and features an intricate array of details. From ribbed cuffs to a mid-zip detail and a concealed pocket, the field sweater to has a distinctively functional edge. Fabricated from a 30 gauge cotton, this three button t-shirt features a round collar inspired by competitive vest used during the era. Utilising the tones of red, white and blue, the Tangeru staples these patriotic colours to its chest in a horizontal formation – rejoicing the vintage notions of athletics.

“There are so many places in the world that I haven’t been able to travel to, so definitely the thing I would love to do would revolve around traveling.

It’s one of those scenarios where you truly don’t know what you would do unless you actually got that news.”. “Without realizing that there’s pressure, you want people to look at you a certain way. I always want to be authentic. Often things aren’t what they seem to be. You see Instagrams and any version we want people to see, so there are times where I have to hold back things that I actually want to say. I try to be 100% myself though, and hopefully it comes off how I want it to.”. “I’ve worked with Alyssa for the last couple of years, and I love her. She’s very collaborative, but sometimes I do put all of my trust in her and have her pick something she thinks will work. I like to keep an open mind and not say ‘no’ too many times because I think fashion should be fun and about taking risks. Obviously if I’m completely uncomfortable, that’s going to show on my face, so I try not to dress it up too much. I like to incorporate myself in whatever I’m wearing.”
