The common thread that links so many of our stockists is that sense of community. Forest sums it up: “Living in the city, we’re all in such close proximity to each other, and after a certain point, people stop consuming what’s available and start co-creating what’s missing. That is how Glasswing started, and we often highlight or collaborate with others who are bringing people together in new ways.”
Behind the Collection. Topologie x Universal Works.
To mark the launch, we sat down with Topologie for a conversation about our recent collaboration. Co-Founders and creatives from both brands shared their inspirations, the spirit of climbing culture, and how the idea of working together first came about.
For our Topologie collaboration shoot we headed to Stanage Edge, a favourite weekend spot for many of our team. The pieces in the collection nod to climbing culture, and this location is where Topologie’s climbing roots meet our own link to the Peaks, and the co-ordinates printed on the labels point right back to that spot.
Born out of a necessity for hard-wearing, warm clothing, Harris Tweed is still created to this day by hand-weaving sheep’s wool on manually powered looms—it is dyed, dried, blended and spun in the mills, then sent out to skilled islanders, who weave it into the fabric at their at-home looms.
