Article about Daniel Pacitti including in-depth interview with the designer and stylist.

Over the past few years, Britain and London especially have taken over the European and global trends in streetwear culture. This development became highly evident with the recent Gorpcore movement and the emerging integration of functional and outdoor clothing into street style.
