I’m getting better with posting menswear more frequently. Since the husband is putting his time in with the site redesign, I think it’s only fair I fulfill his posting duties-ha.
I quite like Austin Sherbanenko’s design philosophy for his label, Odyn Vovk. There is no structured theme that guides his collections. Instead, he simply relies on what pops into his head and manages to create very cohesive collections. (This is much how I function myself when I’m engaging in a creative project. I’ve never been able to channel a story or narrative; I mostly rely on a colour, silhouette, scent, texture, a particular feeling, etc. so I can relate very well with Sherbanenko’s creative process.)
Odyn Vovk is another label with a drapey, relaxed minimalist look that relies on layering to create texture and visual interest. Yes, this look is very popular at the moment (not to mention the black Doc Martin combat boots all over), but you won’t hear me complaining. I think it’ll be awhile before I get tired of soft draping and asymmetric layered pieces!
I’ve posted pictures from the S/S 09 and A/W 09 collections (yes I cheated and posted one of the two women’s looks he sent out).
