LWLies are proud to announce a joint creative collaboration with Italian fashion label 55DSL and award-winning directors CANADA. 55DSL has been pioneering original Italian streetwear since 1994. Uniting fashion and creativity, the brand produces aesthetically stunning and unique collections through the versatile use of inspired graphics.

Shot over two weeks, the film travels from the mountains in Northern Italy down to the Sicilian Island of Stromboli in the far south. It’s a snapshot of a land and a generation that...

One thing you can always count on with 55DSL, is the streetwear brand's alway on-point collaborations. And this one is pretty much up there with the best of them. 55DSL have teamed up with the original music television network - MTV - and 6 different artists to design and create 6 bespoke t-shirts. Each one represents one of the 5 senses. And the 6th? The 6th will represent 55DSL's special 5.5th sense - an as yet unexplored sensory experience. Where MTV come into all this, is that the global network has teamed each artist with different motion design studios...

Tomorrow, the studio space will be exhibiting seminal works from Gavin Watson - the man who iconically captured Britain's turbulent '80s skinhead culture with the deft push of a shutter release. Watson's naturual eye for a moment in time, and the stark honesty of the images he captured, have made his body of work one of the UK's finest documentary portfolios. The exhbition, entitled 'Neville', pays...

The show they put in at Studio 55 was one of the best to date, so much so that we haven't had the heart to paint over the mural they threw up in the stairwell. Since we last saw them they've been off to San Fran to spread the word on what they are up to and put on a show or two there. All said, they...
