Edwin Spring/Summer 2011 looks to Jack Nicholson’s movie “5 Easy Pieces” as inspiration for the collection. It borrows a lot from the style of the Robert Eroica Dupea character whose life on the oil rigs is mixed with other different life experiences and new and past relationships. Check out the film if you get the chance. But most importantly, pay attention to some of the grab Nicholson wears in the movie, and make the comparison to Edwin’s SS11 collection.

Inspired by the Jack Nicholson flick ‘5 Easy Pieces’ the Edwin SS11 Collection is inspired by Nicholson’s character who plays the part of a promising upper-class classical pianist, who runs off to pursue seemingly honest labouring work within the oil fields of middle America. the sun-soaked colours and oil stained denims reflective of the duality of Nicholson’s character; the refined mind of an artist meets the rugged natural wear of hard graft.
The all-suede ‘Amp Tramp’ Bomber is a stand out piece, alongside the washed button down striped Captain shirt which features suede trim detailing on the placket. The ED-35 classic loose fit 140z Japanese red selvage denims are in a ‘Home Repair’ wash, indicative of the overall ‘lived in feel’ of the Edwin SS11 Collection.
