H&M Indonesia presents the Autumn / Winter 2014 Collection Preview

Last wednesday, the kind people of H&M Indonesia has given us editors & medias a glimpse on their special collection, the H&M Studio, as well as previewing the Mens Collection for the upcoming Autumn / Winter 2014 that will be available in the Grand Indonesia store around September this year. The H&M Studio Line (which is currently dedicated to womenswear only), is the limited range from H&M that is designed as special collection that came out from their own design studio. It was meant to be a special collection that isn't part of a collaboration project, but still result in a higher quality products. Since this blog, STANDARD ISSUE is more focused on mens products, i won't talk much about the womenswear collection, but you can see them at HAND~OVER's Mall Creepers journal, here.

So let's see about the Menswear Collection for the upcoming A/W 2014. Inspired much by the English Mod Subculture, the collection gives out the mix of both London & Parisian street looks, as well as New York kind of freedom is expressed through out the entire collection. Key items comes with both heavyweight & lightweight material such as Rip Stop, Wool, Leather, Cotton, Nylon, and Mohair textures. Almost all products has the same similarity, which is attention to details like traditional sewing techniques, tech & functional zipper, welt pocket, and a hybrid on classic & staple menswear pieces. My eyes were on to this beautiful hybrid version of classic Pilot / Bomber Jacket that remind me of Engineered Garments. 

Another highlight from the collection was the upcoming collaborative capsule collection between H&M and Liberty London. Liberty has lend their patterned fabric to H&M for this A/W'14, and here is one of them.

Other than that, here are some of the items for their general & sportswear release this A/W season. They will also release another series of H&M Conscious Denim range, that were made using a technique where less water is used on making such good looking denim jeans.

Not to miss, i found these slub t-shirts from the women's H&M Studio line that i thought would be a perfect addition to H&M's menswear collection.

Nike - Grand Indonesia Store Opening

Nike Indonesia has just opened their newest store in Grand Indonesia. Having the grand opening last week, the store looks different than the usual nike store. The manager of Nike Indonesia, Mr. Nino Priambodo said that this newest Nike Store offers most of Nike products such as Nike Sportswear, Nike Football, and other nike products.

National Football player, Bambang Pamungkas and National Runner, Agus Prayogo is also came to celebrate this new store opening, and Agrikulture also performed on that night.




This grand opening of Nike Grand Indonesia also introduces the newest Running shoe from Nike, the Nike Free Run+ 2. The design of the Nike Free Run+ 2 was inspired by the anatomy of the foot, where delicate bones, ligaments, tendons, and muscles are interconnected and enables the foot to support enormous impact and pressure. It also features minimal overlays that allow for a much wider range-of-motion that wouldn't be possible in a conventional running shoe. Those layers are sufficiently robust to provide the support runners need.
