Mitchumm Industries @ Capsule Paris 2012

The first time I got in contact with the brand Mitchumm Industries was at The Capsule Show, Paris. They presented a full range of shirts and scarfs all stone washed with BIO wash. All shirts come with 100% mother of pearl buttons. A cool detail on the shirt is that the last button is made in a red heart-shaped button (damn, wish I had a picture to show you). The brand is a tribute to California and the American actor Robert Mitchum, the brand was born in 1976 on the West Coast in Manhattan Beach near Los Angeles. started with some T-shirts and printed swimtrunks.  Since 1983 the collection is in Italian hands and expanded to a full range. Alessandro Tino melts the best of both worlds, the American roots and the "made in Italy" identity.

Today I spent some hours at the Capsule Paris, this was my first visit and I was surprised by the great atmosphere, nice people, perfectly dressed, not to peacocky but just right. Nice selection of brands some well known, some with a heritage and some unknown and undiscovered. You could easily look through the collections with a sales guy hanging in your neck. I found some new brands (new for me) which I will introduce to you later. for now enjoy the pictures.

CHAD GOES TO PARIS

I just packed my bag for my trip to Paris, tomorrow Chad's best friend and I will hit the road to the fashion capital of the world. The iPod is packed with "Chansons Francaises" and the newest dance. After arrival we will hit the "must see" stores of Paris. On sunday we will visit the Capsule Show Paris and as I already said I can't wait to see what fashion will bring for F/W 2012 with my own eyes. (If you have suggestions of shops, bars and clubs please let me know) Au revoir!!!
