Brand update:Minimarket
Minimarket Is bringing a great collection to us this autumn winter. Inspired by Vikings and Valkyries, minimarket have teamed up with Illustrators Klaus Haapaniemi and Martin Bergstrรถm to create three striking prints inspired by glass beads and peacocks. Sofie, Pernilla and Jennifer the talented sister design team behind the label have treated us to voluminous silhouettes, clinched waists, colour blocked draped layering, long lengths and true autumn winter rich earthy colours. But lets not forget their minimal footwear and accessories, still in keeping with the theme but with a slight modern twist, they complement every look.
Brand update:COS
MODERNIST SLEEK WITH A RETRO AIR
Modernist sleek with a retro air are the exact words that sum up the COS Autumm Winter collection. Still keeping to their clean modernist style cos has added a retro edge, creating a boyish prep meets girly prim look for this season.
My favourite outfit ( 5th row, to the right ) Is everything I would want from COS this season. Playing with design perceptions, this outfit is precise in shape but still unique, cleverly soft but sharp at a glance, a uniquely enhanced tailored outfit that makes perfect sense and will definitely stand out from the crowd.
This collection features contrasting colours, clever mixing of fabrics such as scuba fabric and cotton combos, whilst constantly playing with the retro and modernist trend resulting in a collection full with must have pieces. But not to worry the brand are still keeping it COS with clever pattern cutting for a great silhoutte and original look.
Brand update: Partimi
Last week we checked in with Partimi to find out about their newest collection 'Garden'.
Using sustainably sourced fabrics, Partimi are bringing us a luxurious collection full of unique and sensational pieces .
So heres a little interview we had with partimi to give you a real insight into this brilliant collection.
Tell KTW about the collection
PARTIMI's AW11 'Garden' collection was inspired by childhood memories, lush winter gardens and momentum. The idea came about whilst shooting a short film with my brother and cousins in our family garden for SS11 and I was just struck by the situation and how we were mimicking generations before us who had played and run around in the same garden which was built by my family in the mid-1800s. Lasting memories are important to me and keep me grounded in the flux of busy London life. All the prints are derived from the garden and pinpoint three periods of time - from a lichen covered bench, to a photograph of my father and aunt playing in the 60s to a still from the film shot with my brother.
What is your favorite piece ?
The 'Lichen Play Dress'. Effortless and lovely.
It will be available from mid-late August from Rous Iland Dover Street rousiland.com, 69b Broadway Market sixtynineb.com, Young British Designers youngbritishdesigners.com and Magic Number Three magicnumberthree.com.
What should we be looking out for ?
For SS12 I'm collaborating with milliner Lizzie McQuade www.lizziemcquade.co.uk to create some hats and headpieces.
I'm also working on a couple of pre-collection projects with some great retailers and will also be designing another T-shirt collection for Environmental Justice Foundation www.ejfoundation.org.
We love the personal inspiration behind this collection, creating a real life narrative and in turn creating striking prints. We at Keep The Wolf are looking forward to seeing the head pieces next year along with the ss12 collection , so keep watch too !
