Educate Elevate: Winter 2013 collection Stephanie AndersonDecember 22, 20130 viewsdesignFashionstreetwearStyle0 Comments0 views Braids, exposed midriffs and baggy trousers, where do these things leave your mind wandering? To the 90’s of course! That’s exactly what Educate Elevate’s winter collection takes its inspiration from. With cropped sweaters, colour blocking, oversized bomber jackets, door knocker earrings and of course their classic EE beanies, it revitalises that nineties kid we all have residing in us. EE’s ethos is to ‘Educate the mind. Elevate the grind’ and as urban streetwear goes, it does that. The winter collection sees eight new garments in blacks, greens and purples to go with their previous simple printed tees. These clothes are comfy with oodles of movement and ideal for lounging around, dancing, or just looking incredibly, effortlessly cool. EE is a slouchy cousin to everyday fashion. With their clothing being so oversized it’s perfect for this season. Pop on the green colour block jumper over a pair well fitting black skinny jeans with some hi-tops on your feet and you are ready to go about your weekend in an excellently easy manor. The creative directors of the collection, Suzan and Faith say ‘The collections is heavily inspired by supergroup TLC and their oversized baggy colour block clothing, we wanted to capture the essence of the bands ethos despite the low key branding.’ A long with this down to earth comment on the clothing, EE also place a heavy importance on the clothes being manufactured in the UK. No airs and graces here! With their bold, striking colours, and cosy unisex brand it gives a spin on street wear and modern goth. Combining the two into an all powerful trend, and at prices that won’t hurt your wallet that much. We think you should buy a last minute christmas present for yourself from Educate Elevate. Who cares if your midriff is cold when you look this hot?! Katherine Bull To buy EE clothing click here.
