The Burberry Spring Summer collection including the denim line is available in stores and on-line at Burberry.com from April 2009.
Contemporary with a deliberate sense of shape: a dual approach that transcends that boringly traditional look so often confused with classic style. A new way of dressing in which the choice of fabrics and their combination in different weights results in a totally renewed vision of the classic, a union of powerful fabrics that emphasises the impact of the garment.
SKITSCH, headed by Renato Preti, will include furniture and accessories from a wide range of designers such as Maarten Baas, Kiki Van Eijk, Joost Van Bleiswijk, Minale-Maeda, Philippe Nigro, Van Eijk & Van der Lubbe, the Campana Brothers, Front, Marc Sadler and Bertjan Pot, to name just a few of the 24 designers who have created over 50 eclectic projects for the line under the artistic supervision of Christina Morozzi. SKITSCH will be launched during the Salone del Mobile with the opening of a flagship store in the heart of Milan.
Designed and manufactured in Japan, the Sport Shu is a modern reissue of a PF Flyers classic first introduced in the 1940s. The shoe, available in original black and natural colorways only, features contrast stitching detail, unique rubber-patterned foxing, original PF logo and leather patching on the eyerow.
Raf Simons does it again designing the new Jil Sander collaboration with elite retailer Aloha Rag for a very limited edition collection featuring both a high top and Lo top. The release will be limited to 55 Paris of each available at aloha rag on April 2nd for 395 for the hi and $325 for the Lo. Needless to say these will sell out rather quickly so if interested it may be wise to camp out in front of Aloha Rag before opening.
