Anntian [Phase] Spring 2010

October 24, 2009

Approaching the spring season, Anntian duo Anne Hilken and Christian Kurt up the ante once more, reinterpreting their signature mix of patterns in a light easygoing collection. Balancing oversize looks with expert draping, the range takes on comfort and style in one go. Dressed in a combination of stripes and sponged prints, simple slouchy tees and trousers take a backseat to great jackets and knits. From an organic origin of creativity, Hilken and Kurt once again deliver a range that is both special and unique.

Courtesy of Fashionisto, this brand has a collage feel to it, I like the misdirection it showcases when I’m looking at it. Definately a “neck-breaker” walking down the street [somewhere]  There’s suppose to be a story behind each season ; this season’s labeled PHASE, I wonder what that means hmm


Slim x OutKa$t [Jerkin]

October 23, 2009

They’re the best in the city [i live in] and are really good. Hopefully there’s more [dancing] videos to come. I was [actually] there when he did this. Jerkin is NOT easy lol


Obey x Levi’s [09] F/W Collection

October 21, 2009

In June I [actually] went to an [Obey] Exhibit with Raw Arts ! Shepard Fairey’s whole concept behind Andre [the Giant] and the word obey is so in-depth. What you Obey, why you obey it, who you obey; I believe Andre [the Giant] represents Goliath [in a sense] and Shepard injects him into ANYTHING he feels we “obey”  because who’s going to oppose a giant [?] I really enjoyed going to see his work.

 

Now this collab with Levi is CRAZY !

Shepard Fairey’s Obey clothing brand teams up with Levi’s on an upcoming capsule. This marks another collaborative venture from Levi’s who recently has sourced other notables in the realm of fashion and art. The collection includes various pieces inspired by Fairey’s own experiences with Levi’s denim. The collection includes two pairs of denim in the 511 and 514 cut, two denim jackets, a flannel shirt and three t-shirts. Prices will range from $34.50 USD – $148 USD and will be available on October 29th.


Tree Bookshelf

A superb rack and library thought by the Korean designer Shawn Soh. The principle: the books all are set out again on the various branches of the tree which was designed entirely out of steel. A concept very successful to discover in the continuation.

Thought this was pretty cool, gave the [book]shelf a more [natural] look haha. Having this in your house/apartment makes you feel that you are wondering in the woods [somewhere] it’d be a great piece of work to have in your household.
