The tribute to cinema in the collabo between One Block Down and Porter-Yoshida & Co. Between Wes Anderson, Stanley Kubrick and Guy Ritchie

For the SS22 season, One Block Down has chosen to join forces with historic Japanese brand Porter-Yoshida & Co. to create a capsule collection capable of representing the spirit of both names involved. Part of the collection are four items made using natural canvas and nylon, one of the most important materials of Porter-Yoshida & Co. while the canvas is part of the history of OBD thanks to the shopping bags that the store gave to its customers after each purchase. In addition, each item sees the use of military green nylon, a direct reference to Porter's military inspiration.

On the occasion of the release of the capsule, One Block Down has created a campaign consisting of three shorts and a series of shots starring the "Lobby Boy", a figure that relates to the history of Porter-Yoshida & Co and the plates on an item produced by the brand. This is the first time that OBD has come into contact with the world of cinema, and to do so it has chosen to pay homage to some iconic scenes by directors such as Wes Anderson, Guy Ritchie and Stanley Kubrick, re-imagining them in a different key and close to the language of the store and the brand.

The collection will be available April 29th from 9 am exclusively in One Block Down stores and on oneblockdown.it
