Having debuted with an impressive Autumn/Winter collection for 2012 dubbed Entity, the utilitarian brand is now launching “Monolith” for Spring/Summer 2013.

Fans of the Millenium series will love the mood captured by Stockholm based photographer Mathias Sterner; that of a hooded lonesome figure walking through God-forsaken land.

Developing the collection as a continuation of his previous work, Nicolas Richard created dark and practical pieces, paying special attention to the use of leather to give each garnment a unique quality.

Every piece has two sides, much like the coin the Swede refers to when describing his work. The leather waistcoat has a zip-up, giving it a jacket-like quality, whilst the three button leather jacket adopts some of the waistcoat’s qualities.

The “Assasin’s creed” hooded leather jacket can be worn as both a hoodie or a simple coat and, finally, a simple jacket can hide one’s whole face (if needed).

Now, some might argue that this seems a little bit too much, too warm for the Spring/summer seasons. However, it is important to remember that this was created in Sweden, where, even in summer, a good jacket is often needed.
