#soft construction

January calls for cashmere. Exquisitely tailored in precious cloths, these pure cashmere jackets are not only stylish, but a great investment for years to come.

To further reduce the aforementioned formai aspect of tailoring, Neapolitan jacket are easy to pair with garments usually used in casual ensembles. Tweed with denim or worsted wool with jersey (pictured) are all small styling tricks, which help to appear more casual and comfortable, while looking damn elegant. However it should be noted, that these ideas work best, when tailored for a natural silhuette.

Practice session for my band in January, featuring a segment of the song 'Black Knight'

I was looking for names of the band for a long while and flirted with ideas such as The Desire Realm (which comes up later), Talos, Cosmogenic, Absurd Hero, Astral Boy etc. (The last two now being song titles). During my degree I had become infatuated with the work of Dalí and suddenly had the idea of naming the band after a piece of his. Soft Construction stuck out instantly when I saw it, and felt it had very quaintly described and reflected the sound of the music, in its title combining the softness of the clean melodic parts and the heavy grit and ugliness of the distortion; as well as it's subject matter and story of war and mystic prophecy, and the image itself is gripping and the sight of the giant humanoid creature tearing itself apart mirrored the pain, struggle and agony I often try to express with my words.
