Dress Style

Just when I was both too busy to care about fashion and too bored to give anything a serious second look, ANREALAGE comes along and shatters everything I think about fashion at the moment. ANYTHING but dull, trendy and unthoughtful- I am impressed beyond words.

The 2009 A/W collection 「 凹　凸 」has had my head spinning for weeks. After reading a few interviews about the designer and the A/W collection, I've learned that the collection is aimed at looking at clothing with a 3 dimensional design process-exploring and forgoing the limitations of flat construction and pattern making to end up with an amazingly creative, artistic and well thought out collection that when taken out of the museum setting is even more beautiful. Every piece works both ways.















Luckily I can satisfy my thrift for the collection by visiting the exhibition they currently have at the Far East museum in Stockholm. I have about a billion photos of the collection but instead of posting them all I'll document my experience at the museum this weekend and post those, here's a preview:

my weekend summed up in three photos.
now i've been stuck on the couch, sick as hell.

Givenchy Chain Link Wedge

the toe, the heel, the length, the width, THE texture, the hardware. this is the most perfect boot i have seen in a while.

I've been working non stop the last few days- on two very exciting projects coming up later this year- and in the process I've been giving a hard look into the branding of my collection. I've been meaning to show you guys the garment labels I had produced earlier this year [second photo] and the hang tags I received as a gift from my very good friend who has a killer printing connection. I've been slow on developing a full concept for my brand but am getting into full gear on that front in the next few weeks. This will include a logo re-work as I'm pretty happy with it now but it's something I scribbled out on my drawing tablet and really need a professional designer to get his hands on. After that, I'll get new hangtags [I've run out already!?] and business cards. I'm also entertaining thoughts of package design. Right now my packaging consists of black tissue paper wrapped with black & white string, all packaged in a black box which gets wrapped and written on and sent off [photo 1]. A lot of paper waste if you as me. I'd love to come up with a more environmentally friendly option that's still simple and basic.

1. multi ways draped scarf



2.blush pleated trousers


I've been meaning to post both items for ages, the first I wear everyday, it adds such a great shape and silhouette to every outfit- and seems to dress down formalwear and dress up casual outfits. it can also easily be worn as a dress. click here to see more photos of this item

the second, of course are my pleated pants in this gorgeous blush fabric. i enjoyed wearing them so much the other day that I realized I really needed to post them- due to a fabric shortage (I bought out the last meters of that fabric) I can only make these for two people! click here to see more photos of this item
