Its all about the formal year of ‘89 for this Spring/Summer 09 Collection by Opening Ceremony. Think pastels, retro floral sundresses and springy prints on roll up cuffed pants. Have a peek at the guys stuff too here at The Clones. Smelling the flowers already!
James Woolfin and Yvette White, who met whilst studying fashion textiles at Central Saint Martins, created a brand that explores numerous details within their clothing range by transferring those details via lifelike monochromatic prints that look like distressed photocopies, on t-shirts, vests and dresses. Trompe d’oeil takes the attention away from the shape of the garment and into the life it holds, be it in the thread that hags, or the zip slashed through a tee shirt, the garments take on a life like quality that instantly has you wanting to touch that texture or make out that pattern.
A beautiful Collection for their Spring/Summer 09 range, these two have employed a look into their work that is intelligent and surreal. Have a look at the full covered collection here at Dazed Digital., and see some close up pictures of the prints and pieces after the jump!
It is the latest range from Marjan Pejosk for is Spring/Summer 09 Collection that got me thinking, why do designers not do this sort of androgynos looking (not to mention appealing) range more often? Modeled by a male, the collection could be for both men and women with leggings, bombers, patterns and bows. This could also be due to the styling of the look book too, which you can view after the jump! I can certainly imagine myself wearing some of these pieces as I can imagine some of the guys I know too, I guess it is all in the wearers hands.
I have always admired the Menswear Collections from PEGLEG each season and now us girls can have a piece of our own action.

Nike Sportswear introduces the Busy P x Nike Air Force 1 sneaker to the US, a creation of a partnership between Pedro Winter aka Busy P as part of the 1WORLD series. Busy P is an electro house DJ, Producer, manager of Daft Punk and owner of Ed Banger records.
To create his dream shoe, Busy P invited his house art director of Ed Banger Records, So-Me to contribute on the shoe, where the two found they had very different ideals as to what the shoe should look like….
After many a discussion the pair decided to battle it out on the shoe itself, one on each foot. The finishing product is a child-like squabbles between Busy P and So-Me with bright colours and stitchings. The Busy P x Nike Air Force 1 sneaker will be available exclusively at Nike Sportswear at 21 Mercer in New York as well as Nike Sportswear at the Montalbán in Los Angeles, on October 30th and 31st respectively.
Based on the 80s’ video game Pole Position, Sandra Backlund’s Spring 09 collection is entitled Pool Position. When we think of the oh so common commentary of the blending of Fashion and Art, the best reference lies in designers such as Chalayan and Backlund who’s creations take on their conceptual form but allow for a real sense of wearability. Check out some pictures from the Swedish designers latest collection. (more…)
