“Clash” typically carries a negative connotation, but not when two diametrically opposed brands lay one hand on contemporary menswear and the other on traditional craftsmanship.In 1995 the influential Scottish designer, Kenneth MacKenzie founded his menswear label 6876, which bears a subtle but significant meaning: the French student riots of 1968 and the birth of punk in 1978.
Like the subtlety of the name brand, Kenneth has impacted the UK men’s fashion industry through subtle detailed tailoring.
The Regent Belt Company has been perfecting the art of accessories for the past 40 years through Northampton craftsmanship, traditional artisans, Italian leather, and quality trimmings like pewter buckles.
Now a unique new brand, R6, brings the two together in a line of bags, belts, lanyards, card holders, and wallets.
The full collection is being launched in February for spring/summer 2010; so get ready for clash—in a good sense!
