I don’t have much to offer in the way of commentary on Vienna based design collective, House of the Very Island’s, so instead I’ll just express my appreciation for their skillful use of texture, print, and layering (click the image above to enlarge). Be sure to check out the archive section of the site, too
The rest of the most recent collection from Acute Case, is sort of your typical arty, architectural stuff with a lot of black and angles. This look however, oh my! If I lived someplace where I could get away with a short sleeved coat in the summer, well ladies and gents I would be rocking this nonstop. Anyways, this is just perfect for early fall wear
I was curious as to what Pelican Avenue was up to, and recently revisited the website. I’d caught the Hanging Garden collection/performance as it was posted about pretty frequently, but the collection just prior to it, Intakt (masked models made me think instantly of Miyazaki’s Spirited Away), I hadn’t seen much on. Anyways, apparently Pelican Avenue recently participated in some fashion shows in Shanghai and Vienna and pieces from both Hanging Garden and Intakt were presented. Really, what I love most about Pelican Avenue, and this will come as no surprise, is Lerch’s consistently singular vision. I still can appreciate pieces from her collection from nine years ago-she does what she does and does it well. Bravo to that, especially in a time of fast fashion and suffocatingly omnipresent trends
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
Those of you who have been following Pour Porter since its livejournal days, may remember me posting a few years back about footwear company Rosa Mosa the brainchild, or maybe more appropriately, the brainy child of Simone Springer and Yuji Mizobuchi. They were doing the clog boot and shoe long before its recent popularity. What makes Springer and Mizobuchi’s footwear so singular is that they follow no trends, and all of their shoes are handmade in Austria with a strong focus on high quality craftmanship. You can purchase some of their shoes on gravitypope. They have a nice blog that they’re fairly good at updating regularly. You can find a link to it via their website or in my blog roll list in the sidebar
