The Autumn/Winter11 Collection is about to drop...
The collection takes inspiration from the new home of the Griffin Studio, Hartland in North Devon and as you've probably seen via the blog we've been having an awesome time settling into our new surroundings.
This season we bring together a mix of fabrics from traditional tweeds to wet-look cottons and 3 layer technical fabrics. We’ve also worked high shine nylons with bubble fleeces to give the ultimate textural contrast to a number of pieces culminating into a bold and exciting collection that not only represents the Griffin ethos of 'Technology meets Tradition', but also subtly underlines the importance of transparency and a sustainable future.

We're Moving...to the cliffs!
the idea
Two years ago the Griffin family took a trip to Canada, whilst there they met a man who hung wooden pods in trees. This got Jeff thinking....If we can combine our love for the outdoors and our passion for what we do across areas other than fashion, we could create something really unique. Two years on, Griffin HQ is moving from it's humble cowshed abode in the Wiltshire countryside to the Devonshire cliffs to put their ideas into action.
the plan
In an area of outstanding natural beauty lays Hartland Farm a mile from Hartland point in North Devon and just a short walk from the dramatic Jurrasic coastline. Soon to be the home of the Griffin Studio this rural location is the setting for our next project - An Eco Camping Retreat. A place to escape into the outdoors, camping without the mud, dome living in a sustainable and self sufficient environment. A creative place where people come to relax in an environment that is fun and at one with the outdoors. Working with the local community to create a social atmosphere bringing together outdoor sports, lectures and live music.
why now?
We have been designing mens clothing for 16 years and whilst we're not millionaires we believe that what we do is appreciated by the people we sell to. Since moving out of London almost 10 years ago we have had some of our most successful years, this opportuninty to think freely allows the realness to come through in our collections to deliver something that is truly distinctive. The country is our inspiration and these fresh surroundings in Devon will allow us to continue to create great clothing whilst building on our Griffin world to offer something new.
follow us
So as we say goodbye to Graceland & hello to Loveland we welcome the Griffin community to join us in our move. We will be blogging new updates and invite you to join us in conversation on facebook,twitter and the blog as the project develops. You can also subscribe to our blog to receive information direct to your inbox, click here to subscribe.

Since arriving in Hartland we've been trying out some of the local attractions and getting to know the local community.

きっかけ
二年前、カナダで家族旅行中のグリッフィン一家。そこで、木から木製「ポッド」を吊して生活する男性との出会いがきっかけで、フィロソフィーを考え直したジェフでした。ファッションは、洋服だけでなくライフスタイルでもある。「好きな事」を追求した上、これらをファッションと組み合わせれば、とてもユニークなものができるのではないか？
それから二年。イギリス西南地方のWiltshire州にあるヘッドオフィスを、さらに田舎、さらに西南地方へ引っ越す計画を実行に移すことにしました。海、絶壁、牛、雨で知られているDevon(デボン)州で新たなライフスタイルがはじまりました。
プラン
自然遺産とされている Hartland Heritage Coast はイギリス西南部にある海岸です。ここから数分離れているグリッフィンのスタジオHartland Farm は２００年近くの歴史を持った農場がセッティング。Hartland (ハートランド) ではDevon ならではの活動はもちろん、ジュラシック•コーストなどを含む文化と歴史でぎっしり詰まった美しい地域として有名です。Devon の美しい自然が刺激で、「Eco キャンピング」をテーマにしたプロジェクトを早くも企画しています。大自然を舞台に、リラックス、リサイクルしながらアウトドアスポーツ、Eco教育や音楽を楽しめるエコ•フェスティバル的な安息地を理想としたアイディアです。
なぜ今？
グリッフィンは１６年にわたってメンズウェアのデザインを手掛けてきました。この期間で気づいたことはお客様とお客様の反応こそ重要なものはないことです。
ロンドンからヘッドオフィスを移してから１０年。Wiltshire州の影響は、さらにグリッフィンのアイデンティティーを強めた。お金儲け目当てに活動するブランドと違って、「目的がある洋服」をお客様にお届けすることを一番としてきました。Devon州への引っ越しで、以前以上にひらめきと着用性のある洋服を作り続けたいと思っております。
これから•••
Devon州で送る新たな生活。新しいヘッドオフィス、プロジェクト、ライフスタイルなどを facebook, twitterやブログで最新情報を皆様にお届けしています。是非、こちらでご参加下さい！
最後に
引っ越しも片付いている今、Hartlandでの暮らしを満喫したいと思っております。にぎやかなローカル•コミュニティーや地元の活動など、様々楽しい物事がおこっている場所です。この中でも特に興味があるのが「Small School」と言う、先駆的な中学校。”The Buddah and the Terrorist”作者Satish Kumar (サティッシュ•クマー)氏によって1982年に創立された私立学校ですが、正社員なんと一名。現在はチャリティーやカンパ活動に頼りながら、新世代の教育に励んでいます。興味のある方はリンクをクリックしてご覧ください。（注：サイトは英語のみ）他のリンクもどうぞご覧ください。

Spring/Summer 11 Collection
The spring/summer 11 collection looks back to 1985 and the Katherine Hamnett era, baggy, oversized silhouettes and plenty of military detailing are the source of inspiration for this season’s collection. Whilst we still delve into the Griffin archive for our classic, heritage garments like the Dartmouth and Imber jackets we challenge new technologies and dye techniques to create fresh and innovative detailing. Bold features including oversized features, meet laser cut welts combined with bonded faux leather seams resulting in a performance meets fashion hybrid.
The colour palette is a mix of high contrast in black and white alongside a tonal DPM range of military green and sand and complimented with an electric blue as a highlight. Desert Finnish DPM returns as the dominant camouflage with Swedish camouflage featured in a couple of pant and short styles as well. Working closely with our Italian dye factory we have created a spray paint effect across a number of styles to give a worn, plastic look to the natural fabrics, catching only areas that the paint touches, leaving the undersides of pocket flaps and cuffs undyed, the effect subtly draws together the two contrasting base fabrics which include a mix of rich cottons and luxurious silks through to 3 layer technical waterproofs.
This season is about dramatic silhouettes, quality with a respect for local sourcing developed alongside new technology to make them relevant and functional to today’s lifestyle whilst aspiring towards a sustainable future.
