sibling rivalry

we've been fans of sibling's quirky take on men's knits for a few seasons, so it was one of our first port of calls when we hit london for fashion week, and what a lovely bunch of ladies and gents they are! cozette mccreery, sid bryan and joe bates are the trio behind the east london label, and between them they have worked for (and in some cases still consult for) the likes of giles, mcqueen, lanvin, fendi, and givency... so... ya' know, they know they're stuff!

we've ordered from their next season 'social zombie' collection, but sneaked in the iconic 'skull breton' long sleeve tee now as a little taste of what's to come. 

check out what's to come from their next collection in the hilarious video below.

Bernhard Willhelm & Jutta Kraus, in the Groninger Museum from Groninger Museum on Vimeo.

before christmas we were lucky enough to receive an invitation to the opening of 'bernhard willhelm & jutta kraus' an exhibition at the groninger museum in the netherlands, unfortunately a quick trip to the netherlands wasn't on the cards but thankfully we spied a few pics on diane pernet's blog a shaded view on fashion.

jutta kraus and bernhard willhelm started the label ten years ago, and the exhibition is a survey of the over 30 collections they have created in this time - both women's and men's collections. we are particularly in love the insanity of the displays...

for more information check out diane pernet's blog here and the groninger museums website here.

so sad. she was a vision.

we are beside ourselves!

Beside Ourselves from Nick Waterman on Vimeo.

we love a good fashion video - they're the new catwalk dontcha' know?? for spring/summer gary bigeni collaborated with filmaker nick waterman to create this darkly abstract video 'beside ourselves' - also the title of gary bigeni's new collection, which incidentally has just arrived in the country. it should be making it's way through the door any second, so until then, watch this video and check out the drapey, billowing forms that gary does so well - we'll post pics of the new delivery as soon as! enjoy.

will(helm) power!

yahhhh!! just through the door is a big ole' box of insanity from bernhard willhelm's new northern hemisphere winter collection, and it's freakin' awesome!! unisex, oversized tee's are emblazoned with "i'm a pretty good person" and dripping graffitied smiley faces, cotton dresses feature 3 types of checks cleverly panelled together, a stunning black dress with a lurex stripe billows around the body with intricate tucks and gathers, and super cool bright silk dresses that drip and drape around the body. ah-may-zing!

i cant find a video of this show from paris, but here is a super cute interview with diane pernet from back in the day where he concocts her a meal from tulle, and polka dots and explains to her how he knows everyone that buys his pieces - i think this childlike wonderment and his tactile approach to creating clothes is still very apparent in his work. genius.

enjoy.

all fanatical

we are in the midst of buying for next season at the moment, digging up all kind of rare and exciting gems for ya'll... 

we are big fan's of postweiler hauber's so here's a little sneak peak of next season's collection 'ausbau' fresh off the catwalk...

bernhard willhelm

do you believe in love at first sight?? i do... the first piece of bernhard willhelm that I ever saw was a sweater dress with the word 'plop' emblazoned across it - plop!! jesus!! it was the perfect antidote to all the logo'd, serious, minimalist fashion that was going on at the time, and was just, well, completely absurd!

we are excited and super privileged to be the only store in auckland to carry bernhard's clothing line. as a teaser here is bernhard talking about his spring/summer collection, what he likes to do first thing in the morning, and playing drums in berlin... the collection featured will be in store when we open in mid march. stay tuned.

(ps. during the show check out the full-on outfit in the front row... wowsh!!)
