Sorry about being MIA for a couple of days. I’ve been working in the field and have had no time to update. I’m back for the remainder of this week, however.

Everyone has heard of Cheap Monday by now, but I’m willing to bet not everyone is aware that Cheap Monday falls under the parent brand, Weekday, as do labels Weekday MTWTFSS, Weekday Extended, and Sunday Sun.

All of the pieces for each of the labels have a simple, clean look and remind me in some ways of the APC aesthetic. I don’t think Weekday MTWTFSS, Weekday Extended, or Sunday Sun are available in North America, but I could be wrong. I’m hoping some retailers here in the states will start carrying them soon!

Here’s another conceptual label to wet your cerebral whistle. Chicago based duo Christopher Peters and Shane Gabier create clean pieces that are rife with interesting details (macramé overlay, folds and tucks, and skillful draping) for their label, Creatures of the Wind. The less than a year old label is being very carefully marketed and is currently only stocked at Scout, Hejfina, and Stand Up Comedy (all previously featured here).

Given that they’ve caught the eye of W already, this brand is likely to be one to watch. I wish there were more photos of the F/W 08 collection.

Danish label, Won Hundred, sort of reminds me of A.P.C. before it became incredibly trendy. And by this I mean that the label consists of clean basics with a focus on great shapes and pieces that can’t be immediately identified as belonging to a particular brand (not that A.P.C.’s stuff isn’t still great basics!). They also have a men’s line.

You can find select pieces in the States at Totokaelo and Revolve.
