Malmö, Sweden is home to brand Common by Common Affairs whose lookbook for their Spring/Summer 2014 collection has us all praying for an indian summer. Staying true to their roots, they implement minimalist tactics (which western european fashion is most noted for) infused with a dose of global heritage. Their latest lookbook is abundant with brightly colored backdrops galore to reflect the nature of summer and allow the pieces to really pop against them. Turquoises and oranges accentuate a passionate Native American inspiration that flourishingly draws you into the quiet peace of the season. Linear with clean cuts, each piece gives off a sophistication paired with the fun use of texture portrayed in the tweed outerwear and perforated leather jacket. Speaking of the perforated leather jacket, that particular piece flawlessly transmits breathability in early summer just as temps start to rise and light protection as temps begin to fall in early September. As you take a springy frolic through this lookbook, the collection is indeed cultural and reminds you to remember your roots and embrace where you came from.
