Mike & Chris Fall 2010 Unveiled

by fashionpulse



The word on the street is that Mike & Chris plan to redesign and re-launch its women’s contemporary collection for Fall 2010 (yay!!!). In order to do so it is bringing in brilliant young designer PJ Faulstick to give the line a fresh, new feel. The collection will feature classic pieces such as the motorcycle jacket, the hoodie, and the trench coat, all with an edgy twist. The garments will be made primarily out of top quality leather with softer detailing and a more feminine quality than that found in previous collections. This revamped new line will help to catch the eye of many new admirers, while at the same time appealing to the already dedicated brand supporters.

Fall Preview: Iodice, Vivienne Westwod Anglomania, Stewart + Brown, Contrarian

by fashionpulse

It seems only last week  I was bemoaning New York’s dreary winter and previewing summer styles, but the arrival of spring means it is time to look ahead…to another season of unpredictable weather, fall/winter 2010. Luckily enough, at a press preview a few weeks ago, the F/W 2010 collections we saw sustained the vigor of summer with bright colors and vivacious prints; those in favor of darker tones kept our hopes up with their clean sophistication.

To start, Iodice, one of Brazil’s most prominent brands, showed its range with a collection that ventures into elegant evening wear, party dresses in head-turning primary colors and maxi dresses in prints certainly reminiscent of summer. For those in need of a reminder of the bygone summer during the fall season, Iodice’s brightly-colored, intricate prints are sure to invigorate you as you struggle against the cold wind.

Also bringing colors and prints to the fall is Vivienne Westwood Anglomania, the American line from Britain’s favorite punk label. Colorful abstract prints, elaborately patterned tights, pink pants and yellow plaid: this is a label for the spirited and rebellious who have fun all-year round. If you’re looking for glamour rather than adventure, the line also offers beautifully draped satin tops and refined cocktail dresses made to impress but not too high on the shock factor.

Environmental protection is certainly in style  all-year round, but Stewart + Brown promises more than organic cotton: for Fall 2010, the California brand evokes a confident and conscientious student who values comfort as much as sophistication. Youthful yet polished, simple yet refined, the brand itself exudes a sense of natural serenity – and, of course, there’s also the fact that it also uses renewable, biodegradable fabrics.

This is one of the rare posts where Fashion Pulse Daily gives a dictionary definition: contrarian, someone who rejects the majority view. It also happens to be a clothing label that at the first glance does not seem to fit into the definition very well, but it only takes a few more looks to see that the Contrarian girl does indeed beg to differ. The simplicity belies this true mission: every Contrarian piece is appropriate for the office and nothing reminiscent of Lady Gaga, but the rebellion is in the details – black skirts with asymmetrical cuts, super-wide-leg trousers, trench coats with oversized collars, cropped hoodies. That it was masterminded by a mother-daughter team speaks something about the label: a contrarian, undoubtedly, but also one who is able to seamlessly transition from one generation to another, from Wall Street to Madison Avenue.

Fall 2010 Preview: Osklen

by fashionpulse

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.
