Helmut Lang has been one of my favorites for a long time. This may be due to the easy thrown together appeal of his beautifully tailored pants and jackets, paired with the simple deconstructed draped skirts. There's just something so magical about the harsh simplicity the label always brings to the table.
Designer Iris Van Herpen hails from the Netherlands and we've been watching her rise to fashion originality since spring 2009. Shown in Paris, her fall 2011 couture collection built up creativity more than ever and keeps us guessing what we're going to see next. The way she distorts the female form is breath taking and her fabric manipulating is truly jaw dropping.
Found this amazing accessory label, Mode en module recently and have to admit they're pretty bomb ass. I can't ever get over the raw vibe, which is presented here very well. ~mode en module AW 10~
Vancouver based, Mandula is a label for those people who want to be truly different. The DIY approach to the clothing makes it even more interesting. Whether it be the hand made wrinkled fabric, knotting, ripped-to-shreds skirts, or even the raw leather pouches big enough to fit your entire weekend into, Mandula's grimey approach is one worth going for.
