Remade in Switzerland: Upcycled fashion by Christopher Raeburn (via @swissmiss)
via swiss-miss.comReally loving the approach designer Christopher Raeburn took while using retired Swiss military gear to produce high quality apparel an accessories.
More about the design:
"Ræburn returned to his London studio armed with samples of the surplus stock and began the process of deconstruction. By taking apart the existing garments, he found inspiration and ideas to create new ones, re-imagining unexpected uses for the old and challenging the concept of what is considered new. A rare find was a box of horseshoe nails that became the symbol of the project for Ræburn. He challenged Victorinox to recast that nail into scales for an Original Swiss Army Knife to complement the project. The nail also inspired a print used for linings and other graphic treatments."Learn more: http://www.remadeinswitzerland.com
I and D by Jean-Phillippe Gawronski
Jean-Phillippe Gawronski has created stunning, classic and simplified Elbaz of The House of Lanvin-like lines in the new Eco-conscious full collection under the I and D (Imitation and Disguise)label for a near first in the industry.The pret-a porter green swirl includes the complete selection head to toe including an array of textured chunky and deliciously colored necklaces,bracelets and shoes, cool smooth tile carved rectangles juxtaposed with perfect hardware that say everything and go everywhere.The design is flaunted natural, bold, brilliant and ethereal. Fanning sleeves,tight leather black smooth shorts create a minimalist play.Afro-Brasilian vegetable dyes ascend the collection to levels unimaginable. The hues in the collection are simple and profound in their essence. Although appearing purposeful in the interest of style, therein lies the subtle unintentional accident of polished ambers and rich blacks, muted creams,profound greys and electric cerulean positioned together to draw in to the design, but not overwhelm.The collection not to miss or disappoint.Guest post by: Michele Alexander
