JF & SON

thanks to jen for reminding me about the radness that is JF & SON. there are just too many cool shops out there, and i often forget to check in on their websites… i think someone needs to set up some kind of rss feed for that.

JF & SON’s fanatical obsession with textiles informs the company’s approach to production and design. working with hand-weavers throughout india, the company develops custom fabrics, which are sent to the vertically integrated JF & SON studio in new delhi. in this creative environment JF & SON authors a new design vernacular, combining elements of modernism with traditional methods of beading, embroidery, and printing. by partnering with artists and artisans from new york to india, JF & SON meets its ideals of fairness in labor while reinforcing its commitment to community and collaboration everywhere.

Double RL, Double take

just when you think that you couldn’t possibly look at another vintage inspired lookbook, along comes one that could actually fool you into thinking the photos are legit – until you take a closer look.  i was almost fooled at first glance by this set of photos while browsing Lincoln Taft’s blog. this is the new lookbook  for Ralph Lauren’s RRL label.

RRL was first introduced in 1993 as a collection of meticulously aged and rugged looking menswear inspired by the pioneering spirit of the American West. Vintage selvedge denims, sumptuous flannel shirts, beautifully battered leathers and utilitarian styles which evoke images of hard-grafting ranch hands and tough-talking blue-collar workers are all thrown into the mix in a collection that is named after Double RL, the Colorado ranch owned by Ricky and Ralph Lauren. - source

Le Boudoir

i recently received a lovely email from Sandra Lemp, the designer behind lingerie collection Le Boudoir. Now – i’m not the kind of girl who indulges in fancy underthings (i’m more likely to hang about in grandpa pyjama pants than a negligee) and i’m also not one for very frilly, lacy, racy or complicated underwear. but the minute i saw Sandra’s collection i fell – hard.

le boudoir is an exclusive high-end lingerie collection, first introduced in 2oo6. Its style is reduced and modern, yet highly sophisticated and very sexy. All fabrics and materials are hand selected and carefully combined in order to achieve the unique characteristic of le boudoir. The layering of different see-through fabrics produces a variety of colour shades, which sometimes seems to evade the real world. Suddenly, you can see some skin through and in the next moment the impression is vanishing… From its basic concept throughout the whole design and development process, ‘le boudoir’ is made by myself in my studio in Berne.
