Matthew Dolan #NewDesigner

Love these looks from the "American Classic" collection by this #newfound designer! 
 Matthew Dolan


The SS15 collection is an investigation into the materiality and mass-consumption of the ‘American Classic’ and the means by which specific articles of clothing (jeans, denim jacket, white tee-shirt) exist as cultural signifiers imbued with multiple, and often juxtaposing connotations: labor vs. leisure, rebellion vs. uniformity, etc

Drawing upon the American traditions of rag rugs, which flourished on the frontiers of Colonial New England, and Southwest textiles, specifically the practice of discarded Army uniforms being traded for barter, ravelled and worked into blankets by the Navajo, archetypes of the typical wardrobe are broken up by rug-like weavings, created on a hand made loom - existing second-hand garments are completely deconstructed, unwoven and rewoven to create new textiles

New designer from #Taiwan: Apu Jan

ApuJan is a newly founded designer label based in London. He has strong knitting skills to construct womenswear with an unique form. He likes to use traditional oriental elements with modern interpretation. He also likes to blend together the bold innovation with a touch of casualness

He manipulated various knitting techniques creating visually stunning yet physically fitted garments. Patterns are always simple yet imaginative. Graphics are sophisticated, but low-keyed. His clothes are daring and wearable, a best mixture of avant-garde and commercial feasibility

 These are my fave looks from the SS15 collection:
