Roy Woods‘ brand UTU (which stands for ‘Unlock the Underground’) asserts its relevance in the streetwear world today for the first time with two limited edition t-shirts influenced by the city’s youth culture which originally manifested in the heart of downtown Toronto. The brand’s first offering of contemporary apparel was showcased in a new Roy Woods-focused editorial starring the UTU young boss himself.
Photographer Dragan Andic and stylist illy headed to Diptych Studio in Toronto where Woods was snapped sporting vintage streetwear-focused pieces from brands like OFF-WHITE, Bape, Gucci, Supreme, Stone Island and Roy’s own UTU label.

Viewing Christopher Lowman’s menswear presentation, the first word that comes to mind is “preppy,” and reading the PR materials pretty much bears that out. The collection is called HARVARD PUNK’D, and was inspired, as those press materials say, by “the modern day college student battling the everyday chain of emotions such as financial instability and mental health issues.” Which is very weighty, although realistically the average modern day college student might not be wearing satins and lambskins, and certainly not looking this put together. Yet there’s also denims, great wearable sweaters, and a look that literally wears the troubles of college life on it’s sleeve: a jeans jacket with “financial debt” printed on one arm, and “knowledge” printed on the other.
One thing to note about this presentation, held at HGU New York: it really, really broke down the barriers between the models and the audience. Models were standing against walls and seated on couches with books next to them, while guests freely circulated around them; if someone looked good and stood still long enough it might be plausible they were part of the show. Overall a fittingly confident presentation despite the potential woes of college life.
