Beginning as a ski wear brand in Brazil, later branching into beachwear and now a high fashion label, Osklen offers an aesthetic that is truly a blend of the aforementioned looks. For the F/W 2010 collection, ski wear references abound; in anticipation of an avalanche it seems, Oskar Metsavaht constructed armor after armor in materials that felt like they can withstand more than mere snowballs, but even more stunning is the architectural, avant-garde silhouettes created. From ultra-power shoulders to built-in backpacks, it is evident that for this collection, Oskar has chosen to depart from the constraints of the human form, instead creating a collection of bold pieces with angles, structures and shapes we could have hardly ever imagined.
The armors come in black, cream, white, but some were made for the jungle — reminiscent of the label’s Brazilian and beachwear origins, Osklen also offers its space-age silhouette in tropical prints replete with palm leaves and pink petals. After experimenting with structure, Osklen naturally progressed into knitwear: body-hugging, striped, bright-colored, these pieces are undoubtedly more wearable, but at the same time, the texture infuses them with a rough edge, also found throughout the collection. Indeed, even Osklen’s more “practical” pieces carry the designer’s progressive aesthetic — building on what looks like fragments of fabrics into a coherent, extraordinary piece with outstanding precision and skill. The Osklen girl may be more fickle when it comes to her preferred weather or her taste for shapes or colors, but her dedication to the original never fails.

Between nibbles of mini cupcakes, Rebecca Minkoff showed her fabulous Fall/Winter 2010 accessory and clothing collection. This season, it’s all about the cross-body purse with a studded strap emulating that of a guitar, new quilted leather totes with lace-up accents and the enigmatic forest green designs. As always, her bags are available in a range of colors, accentuated by various sizes of studs and zippers and surprising interior prints. Minkoff’s clothes this fall are rich with super soft suede, dark romantic florals, fur, and drapery. Military meets innocence in an army-inspired nightgown, while loud text amuses oversized blouses and penguin tails play up a fur-lined bomber jacket. Delicate tie-dyed fabrics don small but tactful gold buttons contrasted by silver knit reminiscent of armor. Complimented by her accessories, the aesthetic of her apparel echoes that of her practical yet edgy bag designs.

To commemorate their long-standing relationship with music and 50th anniversary of the 1460 boot named after its release on April 1st, 1960, Dr. Martens had invited ten contemporary musicians to cover cult classics that embody the brand’s attitude. Collaborating with ten (both emerging and established) directors, the tracks are translated to videos which will appear consecutively on the anniversary blog. The short films are artful and absent of product placement-like footage, instead devoted to marking the intimacy between the work boot and musical subcultures over the past five decades. A limited production of 1,460 1460 boots along with 1,461 1461’s will be released to select vendors world wide, both styles available in Black and Cherry Red. Distinguished by “polished pebble leather coupled with gold heel loops and eyelets,” these exclusive Dr. Martens appeal to both devout collectors and new converts of the durable boot that is rich with cultural history. See the first video here and snag a pair for yourself!
