Kamilla Richter and Katrin Switala of Richter – Switala combine soft draping with printed geometric shapes in their most recent collection (or at least the most recent collection posted on their website!) to pleasant effect (you know the drill-click the image to enlarge). Since I don’t know German, I was only able to pick up a little information about the pair, and it doesn’t appear that they regularly produce collections, but really I have no idea. Definitely some interesting work and I’m curious to see where they end up
Cerulean perfection from Berlin based designer, Vladimir Karaleev. Masterful draping makes him one to watch. And I lied, blue is really, really growing on me (and as per usual, click the image above to enlarge)
I can’t really understand why I haven’t ever heard of John Rocha before. Not that I’m that particularly on top of everything ‘Fashion’, but I’ve been following the fashion world since my teens, and perhaps I can blame memory loss, but I can’t really ever recall hearing or seeing anything about the designer. Apparently, he’s been around since the 80s and has done quite well for himself (diffusion lines, etc). He’s considered part of the British fashion scene, but Brit fashion isn’t really easy to ignore. Let’s just chalk it up to utter obliviousness on my part! Anyways, his clothing has a floaty, frilly, eccentric sort of sensibility, that I, who wouldn’t be caught dead in something considered frilly, really like. And it’s not really that this clothing is frilly in the traditional sense. I particularly adore his crochet work, which defies all of the conventional granny tablecloth/doily connotations. I’ve posted photos from both his SS 2010 and AW 2010 collections. Both collections could benefit from some editing, but there are some great pieces from both, AW being my favourite (click photo below to enlarge). Definitely click over to the designer’s site, but be warned, it’s incredibly frustrating to browse
