Flora FirthCreative DirectorThis is my Newspaper! I wanted to create something for men to read that could inform them about the latest fashion trends, style updates, brands, gadgets, places to go and things to see in a format that looks cool and very modern. I understand there are men out there who love looking great, but reading a magazine isn’t quite their cup of tea, so...The Man is for them and any other guy out there looking for something new!

Folk focuses on creating shirts, jackets and cardigans, believing in crafting clean, honest and understated garments with a meticulous eye for colour, “we like to give garments a small personality. How we try to make our garments come to life is part of our philosophy”. The perfect fabric selection and exact design detail is vital for the Folk ethos. Their creations are simple and every day, with subtle, innovative and sometimes playful detailing “there was always one clear concept for me: making simple, non-restrictive clothes as affordable as we can. The clothes need to have a personality in their total look, and this could be a painfully subtle detail on a shirt or it could be a shocking-pink alpaca cardigan. We always look to add or take away, whether it be sewing vintage buttons on to cardigans, or changing thread colours to give a garment a flash of colour”.

You can really feel that the clothes are crafted with such care and detail and have come on a journey, from initial inspiration, to design, manufacture, shop and being handed over to the customer and onto their journey of wearing the pieces.

Casual menswear brand, Folk, was born in 2001 in London. The footwear collection for men and women, Shofolk, followed in 2004.

Folk founder Cathal McAteer, from “the purpose-built new town Cumbernauld outside Glasgow” interest in fashion, “or let’s say small-town threads”, is remembered from the age of 11 spending his £12 Milkboy money on “the newest Nike training shoe or burgundy stay-press trousers – whatever was on trend”.

What marks the moment when McAteer started the ball rolling into his (sometimes hard and challenging yet so far successful) journey into fashion is; “I was frolicking with a lovely lass from the fairground who was wearing interesting gear. I asked her where she got it and she told me about a shop in Glasgow called Ichi Ni San. When I walked into the shop they asked me to model for them, so I did. After that, they took me on as a Saturday boy”. McAteer started working at the menswear boutique Ichi Ni San as a Saturday boy from the age of 15, until he 21, after he had accomplished being manager and buying director. His nickname in the shop of such finery was ‘trampy’ due to his style, he says things have changed slightly but not that much.

Macandi, McAteers fashion agency was started in 1997 to help provide him with the necessary budget to launch his own menswear label. It begun when his friend Jimmy asked him to represent his brand YMC. After that, Macandi signed a new wave of sportswear including Puma’s collaborative arm Black Station who worked to create high-end sportswear in conjunction with the likes of Mihara, Neil Barrett, Alexander McQueen.

Without no formal training in fashion design, McAteer was persuaded to do a menswear collection whilst on a travelling in Japan with Zakee Shariff working on her collection. He remembers the initial first four shirts he made being “really shit...they were so flawed, it was ridiculous”. His design skills have improved and his eye for attention to detail and perfection in all that Folk creates mean every collection is newer and different with more skills learnt and used on from the last.

The concepts for each collection McAteer and fellow Folk and Shofolk designer Elbe Lealman work with can develop from pretty much anything that sparks their imagination, “Inspirations can’t be nailed down to specifics, ideas come from all over but mainly from what we see and hear each day in London. Shapes, colours and textures play a big part in what we do.” They discuss inspiration, throw ideas

“If you truly believe you’re a genius, then go for it because people will notice you if you’re that good”

Page XIV The Man First Edition

around, and get ideas from looking at fabrics, colours, pictures and whatever is happening around them. Their Spring Summer 2009 collection was inspired by artist David Hockney. They say “Generally the ideas are endless” and so some restraining has to take place; imposing restrictions on the fabric, time frame of design process and number of pieces in the collection in order to keep the self-financed business feasible.

The footwear collection works on the same philosophy, combining distinctive shapes with natural leathers to create functional yet stylish footwear. Don’t expect to find too many pieces though, as production is limited to keep the quality levels high and ability to provide their owners with a unique and individual product. You are unlikely to bump into someone wearing the same pair.

The meticulous design content in the clothes and footwear makes finding the right suppliers rather challenging for Folk. Due to the consistent aim for perfection, they have searched high and low for the right fabric mills and the right factories to make their designs to the required standards. So at the moment, Alpaca knits are made in Peru, hand knitted Cardigans made in Scotland, Shirts in Portugal, Jackets in Hong Kong, Accessories in England, Merino knitwear in Uruguay, and Footwear made in a small family owned factory with over 60 years experience in hand crafting shoes where they import Italian leathers in the heart of shoe making country in North Portugal.

The Folk customer is well looked after as the brand really understand him and what they want out of clothes in their everyday life. McAteer defines the customer as “blokes who are anti high fashion. They don’t want to look like a Peacock. So we try to encourage them to wear colour, and the best place to drop some in is in knitwear because it’s a softer garment and guys are more receptive to that”.

Friends are used in the photo shoots for the collections. Folk and photographer Neil Stewart wanted to create images that represented the brand and its philosophy. Based on the fact that initially a lot of the wearers of the brand were friends, each season they would take a different bunch of mates on a road trip to places such as Sicily, Mammoth Mountain, Cape Cod or Cornwall. The atmosphere created was a naturally fun and adventurous happy scene and worked well in conveying the Folk garments and brand identity. McAteer understood that this would appeal to the lifestyle of the customer, “I like living a lot and want to make clothes for people to live in”.

Friends have played a vital role at Folk, whether it is designing clothing, footwear, shoe boxes or helping with shop design and contributing pieces, and buying and wearing the collections from the early days, Folk definitely promotes a close family atmosphere.

The first Folk shop opened in Lamb’s Conduit Street, London. Currently, Folk have three stores in London; a men’s store and a women’s store on Lambs Conduit Street, and a combined men’s and women’s store in Dray Walk on Brick Lane. Folk clothes and shoes are sold to around 200 independent boutiques and department stores all over the world, including America, Canada, Italy, Japan, Scandinavia, Germany and the UK in Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and Liberty of London. Prices range from £90 - £180 for a shirt, £50 - £65 for a t-shirt, £105 - £145 for a zip top, £95 - £365 for knitwear and £120 - £150 for jeans and chinos.

The Folk team is a small close knit company of 8 people; “We all work in the studios behind our store so you’ll often see us all taking turns helping in the shop or in summer you’ll generally find us all having a drink on a Friday on the bench outside the shop. We’re a friendly bunch so if you’d like to know more please pop by and say hello”.

Only real men work on farms and even more real men go to the Arctic,

so we’re about as Man, as man gets

Arctic Farm boys Chris Hannaway and Will Hammersley say they have always loved frozen yogurt. They loved it, but they disliked the complicated recipes. Instead, they wanted to create fresh, natural, British goodness in a pot...so in 2007 at Bath University, Arctic Farm Frozen Yogurt was invented.

They questioned every ingredient from the start. Chucked out the weird names. Threw in more of the ones people love like ‘juicy fruit’ and ‘chilled yogurt’. They added some witty slogans onto the pots. Created a nifty website. Started Tweeting. And the fans were melting for it...Pretty simple, huh?

Flavours are simply perfect. ‘Strawbs & Rasps’ is a taste of the British summer; fresh and juicy strawberries and raspberries combined with their tangy yogurt. ‘Blackcurrants’, made of the richest and darkest with a couple of Bramley apples thrown in for good measure and tartness, super fruits for a super taste. ‘Mango’, so unbelievably creamy and addictive, the tub could be demolished in seconds. Every spoonful is a blend of West Country yogurt and a healthy bunch of British farmed fruit. Arctic Farm is cool, and very, very much for The Man.

I had a scoop with them... taste it, It’s delicious.

Page XVI The Man First Edition

The Man: Tell us a bit about the Men behind Arctic Farm? Arctic Farm: We sold sweets together at school when we were 11 and have been best mates ever since. We love just coming up with new, different ideas and trying to put them out there and just go with them. As well as business, we bond over a love for

80s films and Air Hockey.

The Man: What kind of Man eats Arctic Farm? Arctic Farm: The Man who is bored of the ordinary and wants the freshest, most natural taste possible. We’re constantly trying to challenge what is out there and improve on it. Our products provide vitality with a bit of British style, so it’s for the man who knows what he’s eating, wants a treat and doesn’t accept second best.

The Man: How Manly is Arctic Farm?Arctic Farm: Only real men work on farms, and even more real men like Ran Fiennes

go to the Arctic, so we’re about as Man, as man gets.

The Man: Best Flavour for a Man to eat? Arctic Farm: MAN-go. For obvious reasons.

The Man: Why should a Man buy Arctic Farm?Arctic Farm: Our frozen yogurt only contains fresh British yogurt and real, wholesome fruit. With live & active cultures that keep the immune system sweet and plenty of added vitamins from our fruit, it’s a treat that gives in more ways than just its fresh taste. If a sugar rush, or diabetes is what you’re after, look

elsewhere.

The Man: What should a Man have with a tub?Arctic Farm: A fine lady on one arm and loyal Labrador on the other.

The Man: Is it good with a Woman?Arctic Farm: Girls love our Strawberry & Raspberry.

The Man: What should a Man watch with Arctic Farm?Arctic Farm: Check out Bear Grylls pushing the boundaries on Man vs Wild. Or watch

Man vs Food.

The Man: Best time of day for a Man to eat Arctic Farm?Arctic Farm: On a Man-day afternoon. (are these puns getting better?)

The Man: Best place for a Man to eat Arctic Farm?Arctic Farm: Got to be on the peak of Everest.

The Man: Best thing about Arctic Farm for a Man?Arctic Farm: Everyone knows ice cream is for girls that are sobbing over their ex-boyfriend whilst watching “Sex and the City”. Now, there’s a tear free choice

for men.

The Man: Where can a Man buy a tub?Arctic Farm: Sainsbury’s across the country or Wholefoods in London. Or Harrods

of Knightsbridge, if you’re doing your weekly shop.

The Man: If Arctic Farm was a Man, he would be....Arctic Farm: Loyal, adventurous and daring to be different.

The Man: If Arctic Farm was mates with a famous person, it would be.... Arctic Farm: Chuck Norris. He’s one crazy mother.

The Man: Arctic Farm in a sentence....Arctic Farm: We want our company to challenge the ordinary and strive for the

impossible.

The Man: Favourite Man quote?Arctic Farm: “If you worried about falling off the bike, you’d never get on.”

You wear it on your wrist, either left or right, use it to tell the time, and sometimes day, date, month and year. It is traditionally visually recognisable by the circular disk with 3 spinning hands inside attached to a leather strap. The most important thing about a watch is what it says about you.

Before the wristwatch became popular in the 1920s, most watches were pocket watches which often had covers and were carried in a pocket and attached to either a watch chain or watch fob. Watches evolved in the 17th century from spring powered clocks, which appeared in the 15th century. Most inexpensive priced watches are electronic with quartz movements and the more expensive crafted watches valued for their workmanship and aesthetic appeal have purely mechanical movements powered

by springs. Although, often the mechanical movements are less accurate than more affordable quartz movements.

With so many methods of time telling; radio, mobile phones, laptops, car clocks, oven clocks, televisions, sun dials, Big Ben, Talking Clock 123, and so on, is the reason for buying and wearing a watch merely for the status symbol? Would you call it a time piece, or piece of jewellery? Which watch wearer are you?

The Expensive Watch wearer guy tries to impress men and women with something worn he wears on his wrist. Wearing a large expensive watch with a pair of jeans and shirt, you look at the watch, the value of the clothes doesn’t matter. He may have the car, house, lifestyle to reflect the watch, but

sure he tries to evoke the behaviour of this lifestyle and belief in others.

The Sports Watch wearer is a sports enthusiast or he plays no sport but wants to look like he does. So what about the diver’s watch? How many of us are deep sea divers needing a watch that won’t blow up in the pressure? Well maybe it is useful to be able to have a shower wearing ones watch.

The Tasteful Watch man has good taste or the girlfriend/ mother chose it.

Digital Watch wearer is the least interesting as this watch is usually bought for next to nothing. The wearer is either practical or doesn’t give a damn.

What is the title of the collection?

In the whole time I spent designing and making this collection, I never came up with a suitable

name for it!

What vision was behind the collection?

I wanted to create a capsule collection for the modern man inspired by love of clean garments with the perfect cut and immaculate detail. I researched the reoccurring Modernist culture throughout the last 6 decades, learning about the fascinating obsession they had for their clothes. They took pride and pleasure in how they dressed, paying attention to every minute detail. I wanted to emulate this passion in beautifully simple garments made from the most fantastic quality

fabrics I could find.

First Edition

How long did you work on the collection?

Design, development and toiling for the 18 piece collection took about 4/5 months and the cutting out and construction of the garments took about 2/3 months

- alongside live projects and portfolio work.

Most important garment in a man’s wardrobe?

A guy should always own a good piece of outerwear and a good footwear - they make an outfit.

Combining the collection with an injection of colour to ultimately

create traditional tailoring with a twist!

Kleenex initially targeted their product exclusively for make-up removal as they had not imagined that there would be a demand for a disposable paper handkerchief.

Aries March 21 - April 20Aries love freedom, and will accept any challenge. Aries will get impatient if your ideas do not work out immediately and as expected. You are unwilling to follow someone else’s suggestions, especially if they do not make sense to you. You often have excess energy which can make you aggressive. Arians are brave leaders who express care and concern for all they lead. However, an Arian as a follower is rare, and can be troublesome and will act self-centred because they believe that their views are right, and anyone who conflicts with them is wrong. Because you are open and honest, you will make energetic and generous friends.

Gemini May 22 - June 21To some people you seem like a wonderful friend, to others you will seem two-faced and sneaky. You will act like a child for most of your life, both the good and bad characteristics. You are happy and energetic when things go right, when things go wrong you can be passive-aggressive and very mean. You find decisions hard to make, since you can never stay with the one that you originally choose. You have the ability to lie and appear you are telling the truth. You prefer to use someone else’s solution to a problem than thinking of your own. It is very tough to get your attention. The most intelligent people on the earth are Geminians.

Leo July 22 - August 21You want to live like a king. You are a very ambitious person and want to rise to the top in the profession of your choice. You have a strong personality, which can take you places if you so desire. You are very much a materialistic person and sometimes act superficially. The picture you portray, however, is of the strong silent type. You are self-opinionated person. You can’t tolerate your failures because you want to rule and you are impatient to reach that level. You don’t let anyone come in the way of achieving power. Basically an extrovert, you reach out to people in all walks of life. You are helpful to those in trouble and don’t expect anything in return.

Scorpio October 24 - November 22Scorpio is intense and powerful. Although you appear controlled and calm, you are emotional and energetic. Scorpios often have strong and penetrating eyes. They seem fun to be with socially, but some seem self-involved and withdrawn. You can recognise your special qualities and it requires self-control to prevent you from using them for bad reasons. In relationships, you can be passionate and overwhelming. You are also very sensitive and take almost every comment to heart. You discard friends when they start to bore you.

Libra September 24 - October 23Libra is said to be the most desired Zodiac Sign. You are charming, good looking, gentle and kind. You are a good judge of character and have many good friends. You do not like it when your decisions are challenged, and are impatient with people who criticise you. You hate people who are cruel to others. Libras enjoy the arts more than science, so a career in the arts would be a good choice. You will understand other people’s views and sympathise with them. A negative Libraian flirts and seems shallow. They also are impatient with a daily routine.

Sagittarius November 23 - December 22Sagittarius is optimistic and full of life. You are adventurous, energised and an extrovert. You continue to have a positive outlook even when your ideas are put down. You are always on the side of the underdog. You have good judgment and enjoy starting projects. You have a nagging need to feel free, which can get you into trouble. You also tend to be impatient.

Taurus April 21 - May 21Taurus is determined and peaceful. Although you are not a leader, you will recognise someone with great leadership qualities and follow them. You try to remain the same as everyone else, and are resistant to change. People will enjoy you because you have a good sense of humour and are intelligent and are a dependable friend who is not scared off by a challenge. Some Taureans need to be told that they did a good job after accomplishing a task before they feel that they have really accomplished anything. Your friends are people in the same social standing as you, and you rarely go outside of that standing. Although you are calm and generally against fighting, you will fight if someone is provoking you.

Cancer June 22 - July 21Cancerians can have many different personalities. Most like to be at their home, and enjoy large families. You seem unsociable to some people, but you enjoy chatting and gossiping as much as anyone else. You tend to day-dream very often and can be found in a state of fantasy. You enjoy art, writing, and drama, but acting may not be a good career for you because of your tendency to Overact. Cancer is the sign most likely to believe in the zodiac, as well as other psychic happenings. You make a loyal friend and also very patriotic.

Virgo August 22 - September 23Virgos are creative, delicate, and intelligent. You love to have everything in order, but are also patient. You are very observant, which can lead you to be judgmental. Some people may think that you are a cold person, because you rarely show your emotions. You also have a lot of charm and dignity, although you may not have many friends, due to your troubles with showing your feelings. Virgos are more followers than leaders. You are always logical.

Capricorn December 23 - January 20Capricorn is the most serious of all the zodiac signs. You are independent and usually confident. You have a tendency to criticize yourself too much, which can lead to low self-esteem. Capricorns are dependable, but also extremely cautious. You make a fair, but stubborn leader, and this is a job that you can do well. You are very well organised, so you can handle many projects at once. You may go through horrible mood swings, being friendly one moment and mean the next.

Aquarius January 21 - February 19Aquarians in general come in two different types: shy, and lively. Both are strong-willed and honest. Sometimes you are aggressive and loud. You are unprejudiced and can see other’s points of views. You are serious, but you can also be funny with a dry sense of humour. You are also logical and intelligent. There are times when you feel the need to withdraw from people and be alone for a while, which causes some people to think that you are a loner. Aquarians are usually gifted in drama. You are very independent and rarely go along with the crowd. Some Aquarians are extremely egotistical, as a result will drive friends away.

Pisces February 20 - March 20You are generous, caring, and kind. However, you tend to be more concerned about other people’s problems than your own. You are not a decisive person and may change your mind many times. You are also a follower, but you do not always choose good leaders. Because of your good qualities, you are popular with many types of people, but when you are secretive you drive these friends away.
