Whenever I think of skaters in my hometown, the one thing that comes to mind is their ignorance about appearances – up till now that was. I never once thought that skating would ever meet smart and aesthetically high design but Stefan Janoski proved me wrong. The man, not only knows how to ollie and kick flip but also how to incorporate elements from the skater culture into fashion; bringing the philosophy of skating in almost everyone’s closet. Official Crown of Laurel, widely known for the fruitful collaborations with big brands and several influential urban artists, collaborated with Stefan for the Official x Stefan Janoski capsule collection which is undoubtedly just like Janoski’s ‘switch-stance’ skills; perfect.
Unconventionality, practicality, elegance, uniqueness. Those are only a few of the qualities the new headwear collection is distinguished for. Materials such as denim, black net and cashmere have been used for products that go beyond the skateboard ramps and actually make their way into the everyday urban outfit perspective. The Official x Stefan Janoski capsule collection is a true ambassador of the firm’s philosophy where art and fashion become a statement that not only appears on the catwalks but in the streets as well, emanated from life experiences, hobbies and urban culture.
