Laxavala Headwear | NEW BRAND INSIGHT

Committed to homegrown skate essence, this Spanish label has taken the route of designing, refining and manufacturing its collections in Barcelona. This ensures the craftsmanship and integrity of each piece is an accurate reflection of the brands ethics and attitude.

 

Initially, LXV was a quality beanie brand that supported a collective of creative individuals within the snowboard, skateboard and artsy worlds. Bringing the best Barcelona ambassadors to the brand, the clean knit, fleece and tee development naturally ensued using avant-garde hues and colorful punches for pop.

 

Attention to detail has been given to each and every one of the pieces, every element of trim, closure detail, hangtag and embroidery. Expect the Fall 2012 seasonal collection to arrive soon through the LXV website and selected UK stockists.

 

Check your head: All natural. All local. All produced in Barcelona, not in China.

SOFIDONUTS MEETS EMMA ‘BOOM NAILS’



Who?
Emma Zentner.

What do you do for a living?
Freelance nail ‘artist’ / Graphic Designer / Nanny.

Talk us through a day in the life of you…
Depending on the day it changes a lot! Some things which happen quite often are – Nail appointments / replying to emails / coming up with new ideas for nail designs / researching & working on new ideas / updating my blog / painting fake nails to sell / nail painting at events / meetings / nannying.

I like to take naps too, and I might occasionally have a liquid lunch. I also spend a large amount of time torturing myself by trawling through property websites and looking at beautiful houses that I can’t afford.

Kate Moross Nails.

What….

Makes you cross?
People who think they’re better than everyone else. Ignorance. The extortionate cost of public transport. Flaky people. People with no sense of humour.

Makes you happy?
Sun, festivals, my friends, dancing, (dark) rum, gold, free things, good clothes, people saying they like my work. Good hugs.

Whats…

Your most missed memory?
Summer 2003. It was just a lot..

The last thing that you bought?
A pint of cider at the gig I was at last night.







Where’s your favourite place to be?
My bed, India, or Hampstead Heath with my chums.

I’m very good at…
Swearing, smiling, chatting (shit) very fast. Being nocturnal.

But I’d like to be very good at…
Knitting. Self discipline. Gymnastics.




On Shoot with FRONT Magazine.

Three…

Words you use all the time…
Shit, Fuck, Pardon?

Most visited websites?
Twitter, TFL, High Snobette.

Most listened to albums…
Based On A True Story (Fat Freddy’s Drop)
House Of Balloons (The Weeknd)
D.I.R.T (Heltah Skeltah).

Top Cities…
London, Bristol, Berlin. I’m sure if I’d have been to New York, it would be on my list.



If you could be asked any question in an interview, what would it be?
How substantial is your knitwear collection?
