I know I’ve been doing quite a few re-posts lately, but it’s a new season and the old favourites are coming out with some exciting new things. And speaking of favourites, I revisted Fabrics Interseason after seeing a few new pieces at Project No. 8 and they’ve once again produced a collection that’s full of beautiful layering, texture, and volume. See some of the FI items Project No. 8 offers below. (Click the images enlarge)

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.

Want conceptual fashion overflowing with pedantic exposition? Say hello to Austrian designer Isabelle Steger. Enough with the pretense though-these are quite simply fascinating pieces. Click to enlarge
Fabrics Interseason is one of those labels I’ve been aware of for several years but for some reason I’ve just never posted about them. The Austrian label is all about high minded conceptual explorations, but really this just means they make plenty of beautiful, smart clothing. FI has been around since 1998 but manages to fly under the radar and their older collections still have a fresh feel.
Layered boxy silhouettes characterize the label’s overall aesthetic. Honestly, I haven’t a clue as to why I’ve never really paid the label much attention because I love everything and find it all incredibly inspiring.
I’ve posted pictures from the S/S 09 collection but you should really visit their site to see more.
