It’s really cool to see a designer bridge the gap between streetwear and high fashion, It’s even cooler to see it presented on the catwalk at a fashion week - It’s just not something you see very often.
Currently theirs a huge saturation in the streetwear market with everyone producing T-shirt lines and very rarely making [...]
White Trumpet is a young line by the designers Reno Inchenko & Julie Rouziou, both based in East London. SS09 is very mathematically inspired - with it’s individual geometric shapes. Such cool designs but I wouldn’t want to be the pattern cutter for them! Each individual panel is a separate folded pattern piece.
More of the collection [...]
Mary Meyer founded her self titled line in Fall 2005, Then in 2006 she moved from Oakland, CA to Brooklyn, NY where she has ran her label ever since.
She’s got a similar aesthetic to neighboring NYC line Sophomore - but where they are more reliant on the classic staple shapes, Mary Meyer has more of [...]
Rebecca Torres is a Glasgow based designer. She graduated in 2007 from Caledonian University, she then went onto launch her label ‘TORRES‘ in April 2008 which since has been profiled in magazines such as Borne and Vice.
Her collections are totally made up of clingy stretch fabrics and bold geometric patterns. It’s really cool to see [...]
Sophie Hulme launched her own line only a year after graduating from Kingston University in 2007, a few seasons later and her collections are still going strong and growing.
She’s had quite a bit of commercial success too for such a young designer, being stocked in Selfridges Oxford Street and B-Store on Savile Row
I particularly love [...]
It looks like NY based Libertine have looked to public schoolboys for their SS09 collection. There’s a lot of fine details on most of the garments such as the lapel detailing above, which for me really pulls the collection as a whole together.
SS09 is way stronger than their AW09 (check that out at mens.style) which [...]
The Japanese brand, Mercibeaucoup recently revealed their AW09 collection. You can certainly tell this is going to go down well in Japan, check out any of the JP streetwear blogs and you see these kind of ideas all over the place. The collection on a whole is great, although I couldn’t seriously imagine wearing more [...]
Christopher Lee Sauvé, the New York based artist recently had a photo shoot for his Spring range. He’s currently most known for his ‘Save Anna’ shirt after the whole thing last year about the possibility of Anna Wintour being replaced at American Vogue.
Out of the whole current collection, I don’t think there’s one T-Shirt that [...]
Illionaire are another Australian based label by the designers Ben Woodcock and Kat Grace. Apart from having some amazing product photography, they also pull of a fine collection of Mens and Womenswear. I especially love the fitted mens suit pants, very nice.
I can see various elements of the different era’s coming through in this collection. [...]
For some reason, Australia never comes to mind when you hear the words ‘fashion’ and ‘designer’ in the same sentence. For me It’s usually cricket and Steve Irwin that I think of. But Melbourne based Label ‘TV‘ have certainly lead me to change my narrow minded thoughts on Australian designers. I ended up finding loads [...]
