Following last season’s ode to swimming and cycling, Opening Ceremony again looks to dual inspiration to reinterpret adidas Originals classics – this time focusing on running and tennis as design touchstones to produce pieces inspired by the prints and bright colorways of the 1990s. The New York Run comes in three different styles, each features a combination of suede, leather, ripstop nylon and perforated leather. The New York Run can be purchased here

Maharishi Spring Summer 2013 Memento Mori Lookbook

maharishi-2013-spring-summer-memento-mori-lookbook-1

 

Maharishi presents its Spring/Summer 2013 collection in the form of a lookbook, entitled “Memento Mori.” Celebrating the “Year of the Snake” as per Chinese tradition, they have infused several aspects of the animal composition into its collection. Playing on the patterning of snakeskin, the designers focused on reiterating the texture throughout the range; snakeskin is seen in camo, beige and more throughout blazer interiors, T-shirts, shorts and pants.

Blood Brother Spring Summer 2013

BB SS13

The boys behind Blood Brother have taken inspiration for the SS13 collection from the idea of injecting energy and hyper print into a contemporary wearable street wear collection, which I think they have nailed! Proportions are relaxed with dropped crutch trousers, printed sweatshirts, hoodies and tees creating a casual silhouette for the season. Fabrics vary from camo-prints; burn out techniques, cotton shirting, distressed denim and leathers.  Colours are contrasted with wearable blacks and greys with washed up dirty, cobalt blue and neon, giving a modern take on traditional street-wear.

Graphic prints and embroidery are worked into the garments with the high octane print for the season and the logo repetitively emblazoned on fabrics.  This collection is all about taking risks with supercharged pattern that summarises the spirit of summer.

 

T by Alexander Wang Autumn Winter 2013

taw1-560x420

 

In the majority I prefer T than Alexander Wang’s mainline. It’s more relaxed and wearable. The Autumn Winter 13 collection stays true to past collection colour pallets with dark toned greens, black, greys  and more on contemporary outerwear and pants. This Winter offers new pieces like stylish hooded sweatshirts that cover the neck, soft button-down cardigans and long coats, while returned options include rich leather jackets and multiple sweatpants.
