I don’t know much about Cooperative Designs, but I do know that my neutral loving self can’t help but be attracted to the knitwear label’s bold use of colour. I don’t think I could personally rock any of the looks, but the clothes are a lot of fun to look at.
I’ve posted pictures from the S/S 09 and A/W 09 collections. While I rolled my eyes over the played out 80s references in the A/W collection (designers: please stop referencing the 80s and 90s and do something original), there are several pieces I do really like.
Spotted these beautiful, sugar candy like necklaces by McTega on the lovely Nora MacLeod’s blog who found me via chictopia. Talk about visual feast! You can purchase a few of the items on the McTega site as well as at Una in Portland. Prices range from $78-$265. Thanks Nora!
Although bookmarked for some time and I even own a pair of shoes by them, I’ve never posted about Berlin based Miroïke previously because their site didn’t have very good product images. Fortunately, it’s been updated and is much easier to browse plus they’ve added their clothing and accessories collections to the site, as well.
I can attest to the quality of construction and comfort of the one pair of shoes I own, but I appreciate the originality of their designs the most. The clothing is relaxed and wearable and everything the label puts out is tinged with humour.
I’ve only posted items from their accessories and footwear collections, but be sure to visit the site to see their clothing.
The jury’s still out for me concerning label Pencey. I couldn’t give a flying you-know-what about what celebrities wear it, and the styling for the Fall 09 collection is a nightmare, BUT there are some lovely pieces mixed in with the rest that are worth a look.
I just posted photos from the Summer 09 collection as I didn’t see much I liked in the Autumn collection.
My husband will recognize the shirt as I stole it from him-hee hee.
