DUKE + DEXTER has been at the forefront of heightening the classic staple into a more modern wardrobe.

PICANTE AT CRISP W6
Founders of PICANTE Jude Taylor and Saam Zonoozi are back again with another release, this time collaborating with one of London’s best pizza spots. You can find CRISP W6 dishing out fresh, thin New York-style pizzas at The Chancellors pub in west London. The renowned pizza spot derived its name from its location, Crisp Road in Hammersmith, which reps the postcode area of, you guessed it…W6.
The capsule collection includes two T-shirts and one cap that boasts the classic PICANTE branding and illustrations of bartenders pouring pizza sauce from a beer tap, which perfectly captures the unique distinction between CRISP W6 and other pizza spots in London that it’s inside a traditional pub. That means you can get a perfectly poured, ‘crisp’ pint of your favourite beer and a mouth-watering slice of pizza. If you want to tickle your taste buds then you can try for a limited time only the PICANTE TIE DYE PIZZA with its spicy tequila-infused sauce base, paying homage to the PICANTE DRINK, finished with a pesto swirl sauce.
Restaurants, pubs & bars share similar characteristics to clothing brands, with culture, community & design being at the heart of there success. That is why a collaboration such as this makes total sense by combining the two together to join forces to celebrate what London has to offer.

VAUCLUSE STUDIOS
Born in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia and curated in Spain, Vaucluse Studios is an independent brand that has been making some noise on social media, especially with this shirt.
The Vaucluse Studios Striped Work Shirt Blue & White
The striped work shirt features a classic light blue and white stripe with an accent colour of red for the Vaucluse branding on the breast pocket.
Striped shirts go back to over 200 years ago when sailors would use striped clothing (often in blue and white) to make themselves easier to spot should they ever be lost at sea. As such, in 1858, the French Mariniere sweater became the official uniform for the French Navy.
Fast-forward to the present time, striped garments are still very much at the height of popularity by helping elevate looks by creating depth and texture to outfits.
Vaucluse Studios is one to look out for and joins our list of our top picks for this month, for its uniqueness and limited quantity production making this piece even more special.
