Queens-born and bred, Aimé Leon Dore is at the ready with streetwear staples straight out of the NYC borough.
The AW17 collection still feels very New York – even in its third drop – with more understated pieces tapping into the city’s historic charm. With Creative Director (and Big Apple native) Teddy Santis at the helm, step onto the streets with his court-spin on menswear favourites. The clothes reflect an eclectic mash-up of pick-up basketball, ‘90s nostalgia, and the daily life and culture of Queens.
A throwback capsule, this collection spans everything from hoodies and joggers to, somewhat unsurprisingly, seasonal essentials like the rugby shirt and pretty much anything Sherpa. Each piece could easily be decades old, imbued with the unmistakeable identity of ‘90s New York City. Reinventing trends he recalls from his childhood, mix and match shirts and hoodies and layering your roll neck with just about anything – it’s all designed to be worn together, as you wish.
Each piece dripping with Santis' signature high-low balance, shop and feel the fresh vibe of Aimé Leon Dore at END.
