Surf Trend

The SS12 Lyle and Scott Vintage collection is due to launch online on the 6th February. As a preview of the collection we have some lookbook shots to share with you.

The collection has 3 core themes behind the collection. Above you can see the Surf inspired look that is going to be big for summer 2012 as we look back to the surf culture of the 1970′s and take inspiration from their laid back attitude.

Utility Trend

Next we drew on the retro utility and military look. Military uniform has influenced modern day design and clothing more than we probably realise. This element of the collection draws on the details of the originals and revives them for a modern generation. Look out for Rain Camouflage (as seen above), chambray work shirts and industrial inspired parkas.

Preppy Look

Finally, the preppy look is set to stay for the next few seasons. Our Spring/Summer 2012 offering draws on our Casual roots and combines this with classic Americana preppy details for a modern take on all the retro favourites. Look out for collegiate crew necks and baseball style bomber jackets as key pieces.

Kyla La Grange

The Louisiana, Bristol, saw the last show of the season for CBLS, and what a brilliant finish to a great series of shows.
Opening the gig was Bristol locals Goan Dogs, formed in 2010 these dapper dressed guys are serious about their music. Made up of Dan Lane (drums), Theodore Mackie (guitar), Sam Powell (keys/percussion), Bill Sherwood (bass guitar) and Luke St Leger (lead vocals), their set was energetic and definitely got the attention of everyone in the room. My expectations were high because they have been tipped to be the best band Bristol has on offer- I wasn’t disappointed, and neither were the crowd.
Worship were next up and had an atmospheric, indie sound which appeared to be right up The Louisiana’s street. We thought they had a few tracks which reminded us of The Editors, which is always a good thing. Lead Singer, Tim Alexander wore a great L&S shirt on stage…very stylish even if we do say so ourselves. Worth checking out as these guys are also tipped for big things.

Both bands had great banter with the crowd and got us all in the mood for our headliner.
Kyla La Grange, our first female act of the series was, in a word, outstanding. Recently racking up column inches across music and fashion media, Kyla is the perfect package. At times her voice and presence on stage was mesmerizing; seamlessly moving from upbeat and lively to more thought provoking, moody tracks Kyla’s voice is impressive and distinctive. With slight nods to the sound of Kate Bush and Florence Welch, the set was purposeful and original- it certainly made me pop to iTunes and purchase her available singles. Hopefully we’ll be seeing a lot more from Kyla La Grange in the very near future.

Overall, a great close to a very diverse set of gigs from us helping to support new talent.

You can check out the video from the night too.

Kyla La Grange has been causing quite a stir with what The Guardian describe as  ‘A gorgeous voice and a soaring chorus, the kind that makes your heart swell a little bit’. Kyla has also been gracing the pages of The Sunday Times Style Magazine, pitted as one to watch for 2012. We feel lucky to have her headlining Wednesday’s Curated By Lyle and Scott gig in Bristol and caught up with Kyla ahead of the show…..

Layer up through January and February with a fine knitted merino long sleeved polo shirt which will keep out the seasonal chill. Put a chunky shawl neck cardigan over the top and there may even be no need for your winter coat.

Team this with some cord trousers and leather plimsolls for that retro academic, campus appeal. Choose bold but matching accessories like a bright red beanie hat and matching barrel bag and then a warm and versatile navy scarf and matching striped belt. Fair Isle patterned socks finish off the whole look.
