Rav's littlebigbrother
We have had ourselves a studio guest, I would call him an intern but he only made 3 cups of tea and couldn't handle a broom to save his life... anyway, we helped him make/made for him a real nice varsity. Unfortunately we have no shots of the one stitch we did let him do but we didn't want to embarrass him... anyway, here are some shots of him trying to look cool, you can judge if he achieves his goal or not from these images...
Superspecialnicestuff
So, we have been making some very nice things out of some rather beautiful bits of fabric and leather. I will try to express some enthusiasm...They are freakin' brilliant, if I was rich I would buy one. Lots of leather details and loads of amazing colour details, new cuffing, different colour poppers and the ability to mix it with any fabric you want...look at some nice pictures.
While you enjoy the sunshine
So apparently the sun has been shining recently, the only real reason we know this is the advent of hayfever. Sitting in a room with no windows and starting work at daybreak and leaving work very late indeed we rarely see the light of day but the sneezing fits of recent days have led me to believe summer is starting. So while you have enjoyed the sunshine we have been working on a new rather luxurious piece of clothing as part of a collaboration with Chimp. Here are some pretty pictures...
House of Billiam Varsity Jacket
These are our new Varsity jackets. They are fully reversible and feature the outer suiting fabric of your choice on one side combined with your choice of lining on the other. The sleeves are made from 100% Melton Wool on the "outer" side, satin on the "inner", and come in red or black.
House of Billiam X Diptrics A/W 10/11
We're once again taking part in Diptrics' Sales Week in Japan. Their beautiful showroom is set up at their premises in Aoyama, Tokyo's fashion centre. Here are some pics for you to check out. If you're eagle-eyed you may well spot a new House of Billiam garment. We'll give you an official look at that soon. For now, do enjoy the pics.
Skins 4
Skins series 4 is set to start this week and House of Billiam will once again be sported by the compelling JJ. We're obviously not experts on what is cool as weren't not teenagers, but we're reliably told by some teenagers that Skins is cool. JJ seems to like his enormous polka dots, and he wore them for the official Skins series 4 promo shoot.
Photos
We've got some new pictures on the site. Huge thanks to Anaïs Barelli our photographer and of course Pierre, Manu, Jean-Phillipe and Stella for modelling.
House of Billiam in Japan
We've been working with the wonderful people at Diptrics who are taking care of our sales in Japan. We participated in their S/S 2010 Menswear showroom in August, and here are a few pics. You'll see House of Billiam in Tokyo stores before the end of October - details of which soon.
House of Billiam Scarves
It's Autumn now so you might want to start wearing some fabrics around your neck to keep it warm. You could wear some really nice British suiting fabrics there if you bought one of our lovely scarves. For info just email us.
