Somehow I spaced posting when New York shop, Project No. 8, finally made products available online. So a belated hooray for that. They don’t have a massively huge selection but what they do have is quality
Various Projects knit angora rocks – $65
Left: Boudicca dress – $1445; Right: Christian Wijnants dress – $456
Natalia Brilli ponyhair clutch – $298
Aio Kotsuhiroi’s rings look like they’ve been ejected by a volcano or brought up by dwarves from Moria. Even more fascinating than their middle earth shapes is the fact that, aside from the obvious crystals and semi-precious stones, they’re mostly made up of human hair, laquered silk thread, and urushi lacquer. The website is a bit frustrating to navigate, but it’s worth taking a browse. Some of the pieces are available for purchase on not just a label’s webshop
Button up – $528; Wedges – $345
Hooray, favourite shop Anica, is now stocking some pieces from RosenMunns’ latest collection along with MM6 Maison Martin Margiela (aka Diesel) too. Love this peachy beige coloured blouse, and it’s just long enough to wear as a dress paired with these mustard yellow wedges
So I admit that I was mostly ogling the beauties above (in the women’s section), but British menswear company, Folk has plenty of nice preppy essentials for the guys and the gals who like to wear menswear. No time really to post my favourites from the clothing sections or the prices, so be sure to click over
Austrian/German label Hartmann Nordenholz has apparently been around since 2000, but they’ve obviously not received much attention on this side of the pond. Interesting, considering that many aspects of their earlier collections feel very much ‘now’. I suppose it just took the rest of the fashion world a bit of time to catch up! Anyways, their latest collection reminds me of the airbrushy, paint splattered tees of my early youth, but Hartmann Nordenholz’s version is much better than the original. While sharp tailoring has played some part in all of their collections, loose, draped shapes seem to characterize most of their work. Be sure to click over to their site to see previous collections(& the image above to enlarge)
