'Northern Towns' A lookbook by Matt Stansfield : Clothing : Soccer Bible

With the essence of collaboration running rich and strong, the style of the game is one that comes from fashion focused places. In combining a back drop of Northern soul with brands of notable worth, this lookbook presents food for thought as we begin to tuck in to our pre-match wears with the weekend looming.

Bringing various looks and styles together, this collection of images polishes various tastes and accommodate for the winter chill while the sun still flickers. The likes of Stone Island has integral ties to a game well dressed, forever elevated into places of contemporary cool, they drop the threads on their own agenda while those that care for the wardrobe adopt the style. Cut aside from a nineties revival, they are part of a party that puts style at the forefront of football. A thought out state of mind that combines adidas Spezial with New Balance vibes, you can't help but get caught up in just how good a look can be pre and post match day.

Preston form the roots to the shoot on this occasion. A setting that lives in a junction of football. Surrounded by teams of all shapes and sizes, it's a gateway to sporting talent as well as a creative life. Combining those characteristics and a charisma that lives as strong as non-league mud, though prospers as an elite influence, it's fashion with a football undercurrent, nicely wrapped up with Lancashire love. Shot and styled with class, it's a multitude of multi-disciplined talent. Le Coq Sportif goodness married with Aquascutum, CP Company, Converse and Stussy. Looks that cross boundaries and blur the lines. That's how we like it.
