Button up – $528; Wedges – $345
Hooray, favourite shop Anica, is now stocking some pieces from RosenMunns’ latest collection along with MM6 Maison Martin Margiela (aka Diesel) too. Love this nude coloured blouse, and it’s just long enough to wear as a dress paired with these mustard yellow wedges
No matter how oversaturated the fashion scene is right now with draping and layers and so on, I can’t give up my love for easy, fluid shapes. Yes, my love of all black may have been hit by an 18 wheeler and backed over repeatedly, but no, fashion blogging world, you cannot destroy my love for the art of draping.
Czech designer Jakub Polanka is quite the master and I was happy to see that, although the latest collection is a mostly monochromatic one, at least it’s not black! What’s most amazing is how consistently good his collections have been over the years- be sure to browse them all along with the Concepts section. I do like how each collection is a variation on some colour gradient (♥ citron yellow). I’ve posted pictures from his S/S 2010, Spring 2009, and Fall 2008 collections
Sisters Madelon Lanteri-Laura and Natalie Vodegel are Dutch, but their label Polder is quintessentially French. Both moved to Paris to study archeology and art history during their college years and thenworked for French designers following university.
The shapes are classic, the colours soft, and all of the pieces have such an effortlessly cool quality. The label has been around since 2000 and I recall stumbling across some of their pieces over the years, but it has managed to maintain a low profile, which I think fits the brand perfectly.
Ostwald Helgason’s clothing caught my eye while I was browsing Catwalk Genius. It was the fascinating graphic patterns, soft colours, and classic shapes that I found appealing. I’ve been really wanting to mix some interesting pattern into my wardrobe recently so I’ve been on a bit of a hunt.
Designers, Susanne Ostwald and Ingvar Helgason, founded the label in 2006 and had the privilege of showing their collection at Berlin Fashion week in 2008. Otswald handles the print and colours for each collection while Helgason creates the silhouettes. The biography section of the site cites art, nature, technology, men’s tailoring, and textile design as their inspirations for their collections. This is a pair of very talented designers who we’ll all be hearing more about in the near future.
I’ve posted four photos from their S/S 09 and four from their A/W 08 collections. Be sure to check out the archives section of the site as the past collections are all fantastic as well.
Just a quick drive-by post today, although I may make a second posting later on.
Going back through the archives I decided to check out the latest from Commuun, and wow spring/summer perfection in white, dove grey, sheer blacks, soft colours and subtle prints! Check out the video by clicking on the image below.
