Fenners Talks Football with the Kasabian Boys

Everyone down at The Chateau is partial to a spot of football, and we've never made a secret of our love for Kasabian, so when Fenners from ESPN popped up on YouTube entertaining Leicester's finest in our black Berwick Edged Polo, we knew we had to throw it up on-site. See the lads talk about the band's massive plans ahead, their love of Leicester City and the new England away shirt below...enjoy.

Stitch in Time

Last weekend we packed our tees, knits, sweats and new sneak peek garments and marched them down to Old Billingsgate Market for menswear tradeshow Stitch. As well as showcasing a range of SinS garments and winter favourites, we also showcased what Chateau Roux has planned for Autumn/Winter 2010.

Stitch Menswear Tradeshow

Between being chilled by the winter blizzards and heated by the latest shoot for our SinS range (there is more to come from that), it's been a busy 2010 so far...and it's showing no signs of slowing down as we're now preparing for our appearance at the stylish menswear tradeshow, Stitch.

Behind-the-Scenes: New Year, New Shoot for SinS

We’ve packed away the tree, boxed up the trimmings and promised never to look a mince pie in the face again; 2009 is done and the dawn of a new year has inspired everyone at The Chateau to plan where we’re heading next when it comes to bolder designs, crazier fashion capers and more. So, filled with the joys of a new year, we got our design heads on and invited a rather lovely model down to the Newburgh Street store for a photoshoot.

US Songstress Ciara Rocks Roux Tee

American singer Ciara has headlined shows across the world as well as shared stage-space with the likes of Jay-Z, Timberlake, Gwen Stefani and Britney Spears. She’s also dabbled with acting, modelling and fashion in her career but surely nothing will sit prouder on her CV as the day she took a stroll wearing a Chateau Roux Carve Paths faded tee…and doesn’t she look amazing!

Example Represents Roux On-Tour with Lily Allen

When he’s not in-store chatting to everyone at The Chateau or spending his days in Ibiza with gorgeous girls in the name of shooting a music video, Example is a rather awesome rapper. He’s currently on tour with the equally lovely Lily Allen and between tour stops and brilliant shows; he sent us these images of him rocking his favourite garms…

Label Mate Makes a New Friend

We like to think we’re good company. People like hanging around The Chateau and we're all likeable characters but we know when we're beaten. We also know we cannot compete with football royalty.

During a press trip to Italy, friend of Chateau Roux and Pretty Green supremo Nigel Grant tried to make us jealous by sending pictures of who he and Liam ‘just bumped into’. That’s right…AC Milan ace Paolo Maldini.
