Polished. Refined. Constructed. Craftsmanship. Last week marked the J.CREW Fall/Winter 2010 men’s presentation at Milk Studios. Their collection marks a turning point for the brand - creating a unified look that really works for the modern gentleman. The clothes have a certain casual air surrounding them - leaving it to the person putting on the garments to put their own spin on the final look they create. And THAT my friends, is the epitome of style.

To coincide with the re-launch of the legendary boot brand in the UK market, Palladium’s intrepid explorers took to the rooftops of London’s inner city tower blocks to find illegal pirate radio antenna, and into the hidden studios of the pirates themselves.

Born in the 1960’s, the original pirates found an offshore base of operations in rusting anti-aircraft towers standing in the mouth of the River Thames.  These strange structures remain today and Palladium took a boat ride to climb aboard and see where pirate radio started.   Today, pirate radio is everywhere in London, hidden in plain sight.  While the internet is changing the landscape of radio broadcasting, the pirate’s role of breaking new music remains the same.

Palladium’s UK launch was marked with an event in conjunction with retailer size in East London’s Shoreditch, at The Old Blue Last, voted the UK’s best live music venue by the NME.  The event included the first public screening of Palladium’s London Pirate Radio documentary film, and performances by DJ’s and MC’s from the film, including Logan Sama, J2K, Jammer and Ms Dynamite.  Featured in the documentary, London-based grime DJ Logan Sama has put together an exclusive mix for Palladium.  Streaming now at www.palladiumboots.com
