Earlier this summer, British menswear label Universal Works launched its seasonal “Hotel Deluxe” collection, primed for South Asian summer getaways. For Fall\/Winter 2023, the Nottingham-based imprint embraces vintage Americana styles, heading “Far From Memphis” through anti-establishment and rebellious uniforms. <\/p>\n
Universal Works FW23 offering is captured in a sleek and simple setting, taking the brand’s British identity to US playgrounds. The collection honors American filmmaker Jim Jarmusch and his notable comedy-drama pictures, such as Only Lovers Left Alive<\/em>, The Dead Don’t Die<\/em>, and Night On Earth<\/em>. Jarmusch’s defiant motifs clash with rock ‘n roll elements while referencing British rock band, The Clash. <\/p>\n Wool checkered suiting and military camouflage prints come alive on insulating textiles, complemented by hefty pinstriped bottoms and collarless floral mohair cardigans. Quilted gilets receive a glossy finish, working next to leopard print layers and camel-pocketed work shirts. Kimono-style garments are effortlessly clad in army green tones, completing the collection with slouchy bottoms, ribbed beanies, and corduroy bucket hats. <\/p>\n Take a closer look at Universal Works’ FW23 “Far From Memphis” collection in the gallery above. <\/p>\n
