Etniesplus x Oi Polloi
June 13th, 2008 | Published in Art, Clothing, Design
Etniesplus collabore avec le shop Oi Polloi pour la saison Automne 2008 afin de produire un t-shirt. Oi Polloi est un shop anglais fondé en 2002, qui a pour but de nous rappeler les shops d’avant -quand les hommes étaient encore des hommes- en rassemblant sous un même toit les grands classiques, ainsi que les meilleurs labels footwear et clothing du moment.
“Oi Polloi began in 2002, with the simple aim of tracking down the best selection of men’s clothing and footwear we could find. We wanted the store to be like clothing stores we remembered from the past, when men were men, and your local gentleman’s outfitter would kit you out for pretty much any activity or situation you might have found yourself in. To do this, we sourced a wide range of stuff from all over the world, ranging from classic labels and functional outdoor clothing, to some of the finest contemporary labels and, of course, footwear. “The shoes maketh the man” is what we were told when we were growing up, which must have had some kind of impact, as we’ve been left mentally scarred with what can only be described as a slightly fanatical obsession with shoes. Then one day, we were talking to the nice chaps at Etnies about the merits of geography teacher shoes (as you do), and how we were keen to make some shoes of our own. Not long after, the wheels were in motion, and as if by magic, here they are!” www.oipolloi.com
