SLAM CITY SKATES SUMMER 2013 LOOKBOOK
introduction by Jacob Sawyer / photography by Sam Ashley
Our Summer lookbook for 2013 was conceptualised, designed and put together at 16 Neal’s Yard under the watchful eye of store manager Jay Huckstep. Drawing inspiration from his favourite video parts Jay created The Dreams Never End shirt, this New Order classic soundtracks Van Wastell’s part in the Crooked Gnar Gnar video. The Cure shirt featuring the 12” cover of A Forest is inspired by Joel Curtis’ part in the Landscape video Portraits. Both of these tracks got some serious Covent Garden airtime. Budding artists Paddy Jones, Andrew Khosravani and Jason Peart were enlisted for three of the shirts, we also revived the City of Rats logo and breathed new life into the Slayer logo in one of our best selling seasons to date.
