While previewing the Spring/Summer 2012 collections at Agenda Trade Show in Huntington Beach, I came across an exciting emerging brand, Wellen. Based in San Clemente, California the contemporary men's brand offers a selection of clean, timeless surf-inspired looks ranging from pale pink oxford shirts with wooden button detailing to slightly quirky boardshorts.
What I loved most from the collection is the brand's hand-drawn tees by San Diego artist Sky Walker. It's easy to see the joy and tranquility in these lighthearted pieces and feel transported to a happy place.
