Fa l l / W i n t e r 2012

Today a new project is coming to life alongside the Meltin’Pot ICONS collections, a style statement loud and clear that isn’t afraid to “Clash.” A play on words, the name conjures the intentional and strategic innovation in our 5-pocket denim culture with its refined selection of tops for men and women.

KLSH is the most recent manifestation of the Romano team’s creative philosophy that demonstr-ates an unmistakable equilibrium between style and technique, price and quality. The result is a smooth, sophisticated and minimalist look destined to iconic status that will draw in the next generation of denim connoisseurs: young, dynamic and cosmopolitan individuals looking for a versatile and attain-able product that has the sophistication, glamour and premium performance they need.

Meltin’Pot’s alter ego, KLSH insists upon mixing together disparate elements: a clash of people, sub-cultures, beliefs, genres, music and styles. The KLSH style embodies the fear-less energy of youth experiencing things for the first time, while the pieces showcase basic elements of denimwear excellence infused with sartorial-driven skills, clean silhouettes, timeless colors and ultra-modern fits.

The future roots of the KLSH project are already grounded in the present unrolling of a coherent image and communication strategy. Here, digital interaction serves as a dynamic and multi-directional platform to reach each and every member of our community.

What at the beginning was considered simply a virtual dimension is now a real and open world, where we can share our vision and philosophy on a global level.

We pay great attention to internet communication channels and up-and-coming new media - from the official Meltin’Pot website to social networks and the most influential blogs and webzines that approach both international trendsetters and final consumers in real time.

This vision is strongly connected to the brand’s dna, which mixes together disparate elements to strenghten the signature KLSH philosohy: Cosmopolitan and Active, emerging from a mixture of all races and cultures, mirroring the universal power of jeans to unite individuals.

In line with the KLSH personality, the adver-tising images created with the Amsterdam-based ...,staat creative agency, reflect the values of coolness, nonconformity and freedom that primarily inspire the collections.

The modern players of today are thus portrayed in a scruffy, forgotten house, wearing iconic clothes that underline a clashing yet unifying contrast between the old and the new, the sartorial attitude of the brand and its very contemporary new take.

In the unexpected elements like the vintage travel cases and the weaving shuttles on the wall lies the identity of KLSH: a distinctive mix of tradition and innovation, culture and independence, meeting the real needs of the youngest generation with a product offer that is at once refined and comfortably casual.
