NN.07 and SLOP Magazine are pleased to announce their second collaboration, following the release of "Gourd Times With Friends" earlier this year. For this collaboration, SLOP and NN.07 have reworked the Danish label's Ollie jacket in a yarn dyed brown organic woven cotton with playful wild strawberry embroidery. The new release celebrates SLOP's produce-first ethos and the summer culture of Danish foraging, drawing inspiration from the wild produce that surrounds Copenhagen.
In a joint effort to bridge the gap between farmers and produce enthusiasts in London and menswear showrooms in Copenhagen, NN.07 and SLOP Magazine are delighted to announce their second project for the highly anticipated launch of SLOP Magazine's fifth issue, aptly titled 'The City Issue'. This exciting release will take place at the NN.07 Copenhagen flagship store.
The inspiration came from our other work. Nick has worked in food and hospitality – including stints as a butcher, greengrocer and working in restaurants – and Jack has worked in magazines. We would have great conversations about food, where things come from or what makes them good. We didn't feel like there was any version of that online or in print. SLOP is a mix of those experiences and a place to talk about things we’re really passionate about: great produce and the people making it, selling it and using it.
Jack: Pretty much everything in the magazine is something that we think more people should know about! One thing I’m particularly proud of is our wine coverage, shining a light on varieties and regions that a lot of people don’t know a huge amount about.
Nick: The importance of local shops. I think there's a lot of assumptions that your local shop is overpriced or trying to rip you off but lots of small delis, cheese shops, fishmongers etc. actually sell amazing products you probably won't find in other places. Plus they're employing people and, unlike huge multinationals, they're probably paying their proper amount of taxes. It's really important to preserve the ecosystem of these places.
Jack: I’m a big fan of a Jerusalem artichoke. I think it’s called different things all over the world, but I love the sweet and earthy flavour. We’re also right in the middle of their season at the moment, so you’ll be able to get some great ones.
Nick: I love cime di rapa, which are the same as turnip tops – they're so often thrown away despite being amazingly good for you and absolutely delicious. They're a little bitter and somewhere between a kale and a spinach, amazing in pastas.
Mark your calendars for the exclusive launch event, set to take place on August 7th at 5PM CET at the NN.07 flagship store in Copenhagen. The NN.07 + SLOP Magazine Ollie jacket promises to be a playful embodiment of the harmonious connection between fashion and food, adding an innovative and creative touch to Copenhagen Fashion Week.
