Streetwear design and street fashion are always changing but personally I think there's one thing that always constant, the ideas and where they come from. Ideas are the first thing that's needed in design and where urban clothing finds its ideas is on the streets. So streetwear to us may not be, mainstream, may be emerging, may be new but will always be different not classified in a way that has been yet defined. The street has always been a mix of things music, dance, street sports, fashion, innovation, needs and desires, all these add up to make something special that crosses over to street wear.

AMBIGUOUS
Ambiguous Clothing company is a collective of riders, artists and musicians. Ambiguous Streetwear originated in the mid nineties on streets of Southern California, and began with an idea of producing quality street wear that reflected their lifestyle. Not wanting to jump into the standard hat, t-shirt company stereotype, the founder Frank Degadillo drew up sketches of jeans and had them produced, thereafter Ambiguous was born.
While other companies have focused on one image, Ambiguous became a poster for the undefined streetwear lifestyle that was at the soul of the youth culture. Ambiguous have gathered a devoted group of board riders from Skate and Snow, as well as musicians from different genres and a collective of artists, Illustrators and Graphic Designers.

ONE TRUE SAXON
Three ex-employees of Paul Smith got together with a vision for menswear. One True Saxon, highest standard in design, make up and materials used. You only need to look at their jeans all made from have made Japanese denim the buttons on the fly have brass turned shanks for strength, brass rivets reinforce all stress points, just under the fly is a rivet which goes through and reinforces 6 separate pieces of fabric and it goes on 100% cotton herringbone pocket bags do you want more? There is more it goes on and on. One True Saxon has got it self something of a reputation these days and it's nothing to do with the brand more the people that are wearing it and One True Saxon is being classed by some as terrace wear as it gets taken from the street and worn by football fans up and down the country.
