Issue #15 | When have you gone too far?

Featuring sales from Sunspel and the best inspiration from Pitti Uomo

Welcome to Style Uncut. The latest and greatest in men’s fashion and style brought direct to your inbox every week.

American heritage reproductions with a twist

This month we’d like to highlight the brand Labour Union Clothing. They produce repro heritage American menswear with traditional craftsmanship of the highest quality. The difference is that they do this from their workshop in Nanjing, China meaning they can offer their products at an extremely fair price. The collection is only made in small batches by skilled tailors using the finest fabric from all over the globe, customized high-quality materials, and the sewing and construction methods and machinery from the past with the utmost attention to detail.

Check out their collection on their website.

When have you gone too far?

And now for something different. The fashion and advertising worlds were alive this week with debate about the Advertising Standards Agency in the UK banning an FKA Twigs advert. Vogue wrote an article explaining the furore but please do reply to this email and tell us what you think.

In response to complaints, this group determined that the Mert and Marcus shot presented Twigs as “a stereotypical sexual object,” calling the image “likely to cause serious offense,” while deciding that two (objectively more provocative?) photos of Kendall Jenner from the same campaign were “unlikely to be seen as irresponsible.” Naturally, the 32 people left on Twitter—which I categorically refuse to call X—had some thoughts. (Chief executive Guy Parker’s bio describes him as “responsible for executing the ASA’s strategy to have More Impact Online,” which… mission accomplished?) You can find the regulatory body’s full ruling here, which reads a little like it was written by the council in The Scarlet Letter, with additional input from Andrew Tate. Take the line: “Her nudity and facial expression, including a direct gaze and open mouth, gave the image an overall sexual overture.” Note that there were seemingly no complaints about the images depicting the campaign’s male stars, Michael B. Jordan and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who can apparently make eye contact and part their lips with impunity, those lucky devils.
