Lacoste Polo Shirt + Lacoste Clothes S/S 2007

Lacoste Polo Shirt + Lacoste Clothes S/S 2007Lacoste funks up the French Riviera for Spring/Summer 2007! Just imagine if Prince threw an Under the Cherry Moon party tonight at the palatial Eden Roc Hotel on the Cap d’Antibes and you had nothing to wear….?? This thought inspired Lacoste creative director Christophe Lemaire for this Spring/Summer 2007 collection. Christophe has taken the relaxed elegance of the 1930’s French Riviera and funked it up!! Referencing the 1980’s but spinning a decidedly contempoary fashion tale. The whole collection is destined to have a major impact in 2007!

Nom de Guerre Clothing for S/S 2007

Sunday, February 11th, 2007

Nom de Guerre Clothing for S/S 2007Nom de Guerre is a creative collective founded by Holly Harnsongkram, Wil Whitney, Devon Turnbull, and Isa Saalabi. The concept of the collective is to combine basic and diverse influences from art, fashion, and various New York subcultures to create a composite culture and product.

The spring/summer 2007, collection combines inspiration from sources such as the 1966, surf classic, The Endless Summer; the paintings of the French, Post-Impressionist, Paul Gauguin; and the colonial uniform of early Western anthropologists and explorers that traveled to the Pacific Islands.

This season, the line also takes books — their settings and the imagery conjured up solely by description — and uses these influences. Jack London’s, Call of the Wild, yielded inspiration, as did the worlds of writers such as Jack Kerouac and Yukio Mishima.

The spring collection is made from fine cotton suit and shirting fabrics, with waxed cotton outerwear. The classically styled knits are silk blends; and cotton denim and lightweight cotton fleece round out the selection.

Nom de Guerre also features collaborative clothing available in the Nom de Guerre store, made with Buzz Rickson; and collaborative footwear made with Converse Jack Purcell, Russel Moccasin Company, and Trickers London.

Yohji Yamamoto Jeans + Y-3 Clothing

Yohji Yamamoto Jeans + Y-3 ClothingThe Yohji Yamamoto Y-3 Autumn 2007 Collection released at Hunter College’s basketball court didn’t go down like a Magic Johnson baloncesto covered in vasoline but that’s not what Yohji’s about. The man likes to design in the hinterland where corporate mentality and regimented style fear to tread. The Y-3 Autumn 2007 Collection is poetry in clothe: The big and baggy sweat pants, the over-sized sweaters, the cropped biker jackers… all have an odd but engaging sense of fashion. The word on the vine is that Yohji Yamamoto jeans are also destined to cause a stir in 2007.
