THE HILL-SIDE LOOKBOOK FW 2015

The Hill-Side is a collection of ties, scarves and handkerchiefs created by brothers Emil and Sandy Corsillo of Brooklyn, New York. The collection is handcrafted in the U.S. from heavy-duty fabrics such as canvas, selvedge denim and chambray most of which is sourced from Japan.

The Hill-Side just released the latest lookbook featuring their F/W 15 collection and an announcement of a new sub-brand, The Hill-Side Mills, that produces domestically grown and woven custom textiles all done on shuttle looms in Pennsylvania.

THE HILLSIDE - SPRING/SUMMER 2014

We all know The Hill-Side from their great ties and scarfs, but their collections grows and grows with

bags, sneakers, shirts etc. The pictures are shot in New York's Flower district, I bet that these tulips are from Holland.

STORE LOCATOR: VMC ORIGINAL - ZURICH

The shop was opened in 1986 by Markus Cadruvi and after a few years Roger Hatt, who owns together with his wife the shop today, joined the team. Roger began his career as a mechanic, but it was in the world of denim he found his passion. Back then, VMC used to have a small second hand area with vintage Big E’s and, as the first Japanese denim brand in the shop, Roger (who’s featured on the cover of the latest edition of The Heritage Post) introduced Evisu to the Zurichers 15 years ago. Today 40% of denim sales in the shop are based on Japanese jeans from brands like Iron Heart, Flat Head and Warehouse. VMC is divided into three sections, the latest being a women’s department. From cash register and the men’s shoe department you enter the sportswear department. The basement is dedicated to denim with an entire wall of indigo with all kinds of shades, washes, shapes and sizes. The basement is also where you find the extensive boot selection. Everthing is piled up and neatly folded. The shop the packed with vintage props like orignal Buddy Lee dolls.
