Community Clothing 03

Patrick Grant photographed by Richard Tymon
Founded by British Fashion Designer Patrick Grant, Community Clothing is a social enterprise with a simple mission - to make excellent quality affordable clothes for men and women, to create great jobs for skilled workers and by doing this help to restore real pride in Britain’s textile communities. They do this by working with under utilised UK factories during their quiet periods. What a wonderful concept.

This is Community Clothing's lookbook and catalogue and it is an absolutely superb publication, wonderful art direction, photography and printing.
 
The size is 330x230mm, portrait and is a 32pp self cover which flops and rolls really nicely in the hand....
The publication is printed on our Shiro Echo, White 90gsm which is 100% Recycled and also carries the FSC Recycled classification.

Shiro Echo is available in two shades; there is a white shade (which is a natural/off white) with a newspapery looks and feel and a Bright White shade too.
Centre spread is a map showing the locations in the UK where the factories are located.

 Solids look excellent
Below is a detail image which shows the excellent image quality - note the excellent fleshtone reproduction.
Very nicely finished too as you can see from the wire stitching
