I’ve featured Vladimir Karaleev previously, but since then he’s designed two more collections and there are interviews and video of his shows now available. Courtesy of all of this new information on the designer, I’ve learned that he’s colourblind! Of course, when your concentration is mostly focused on draping and layering, colour tends to play second chair as is. He can see the colour blue, which is what initially attracted me to his clothing, and can be seen making another appearance in his Fall 10/11 collection. Anyway, each collection brings a refinement of his basic aesthetic principles and I’m looking forward to seeing more of it in the future.
I’ve posted pictures from the Fall 10/11 collection, but check out the video below to see a preview of Spring 2011
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)

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.
