SUMMER’S UP

Sneak Peek Summer 09

Above, a sneak peak at Social Suicide’s summer 2009. Linens, cottons, colours and mesh. Very pleasing. 

We’ve mostly closed our order books for the summer 09 collection and are delighted to report that orders are significantly up on last season. All the more remarkable when you consider “the current economic climate” and that summer has never been a good season for jackets – ours nor anyone else’s.

So, now the banks have all had their wrists slapped and their wounds elastaplastered, perhaps we can stop panicking and concentrate on looking good again. All this earnestness is rather perturbing. Back to winter stuff…


WEB LOG

We’ve upgraded, updated and upped-the-anti on this, our BLOG. Much ignored, we now promise to pay it all the attention it deserves.

In it, there are some cracking wedding photos supplied by some very well dressed men; this, our Newsletter; a section for the bargain hunters, giving sale dates and locations as and when they happen – sorry, nothing in October; and a general web log of conversation and comment. We also include a little blogroll.


NEW STOCKISTS

Zozo Town, THE online store of Japan, will be carrying Social Suicide, courtesy of United Arrows’ Liquor, Women and Tears. Effective almost immediately. Likewise, we will newly be joining Noir* in Toronto; Boutique (Homme) in Paris; Sarl Alph in Montpellier; and Six Whiting Street back here in Bury-St-Edmunds, Blighty. A full list of stockists is available here

* This Noir link doesn’t seem to work, but the world agrees that it’s right. It’s not our fault. Hopefully they’ll fix it. 


Finally, to join our Newsletter mailing list please complete the subscription form to the right. Thank you for your patronage.
