Somehow Swedes always manage to get it right and the 2007-launched Human Scales is no exception. Set up by a group of friends as a jeans-only brand, the label has now grown into offering a wide collection of men’s jackets, tees, shirts, jerseys and knitwear. The signature scales logo, created in collaboration with Stockholm’s graphic design studio Chevychase, is on every garment and adds to the simple designs. The Winston jacket (pictured) from the Archipelago collection will keep you warm and on-trend even on the windiest days.

In 2008 young designers Daria Dazzan and Matteo Cibic decided to start a workshop offering only 10 one-of-a-kind suspender trousers each month. Shortly after, 10A was born. The duo uses only Italian fabrics and each pair is hand-made in a small tailor’s studio in north-east Italy. All models come with matching braces.

Known as the caterer of chic goose-down jackets to the smartest skiers around the globe, the Venetian brand Duvetica has recently opened its fourth store in Milan (co-founder Stefano Rovoletto pictured). Its other three stores in Kitzbühel, Courmayeur and Tokyo have proved the global need for well-crafted, fetching garments. The mutual affection with the Japanese market – it is its biggest after all – has led to the appointment of Pritzker Architecture Prize winner Tadao Ando, who designed the 400 sq m store. The rich colours of the garments brighten up the industrial layout.

Creativity runs in the Bouaziz family. Seven years after Joakim Bouaziz founded Tiger Sushi as a record label in 2001 in Paris, his cousin Laurene, freshly out of Studio Berçot fashion school, came up with the idea to merge music with fashion. Clothing label Tiger Sushi Furs was launched in 2008. Both branches of the Tiger Sushi brand are based on the same values: they are fun, open-minded, experimental and indulge in a healthy mix of past and present. We love these versatile sweaters, which are light enough to wear to a Tiger Sushi gig, yet still warm enough to venture into the winter night afterwards.
