Christopher Waller SS12 | AW12

Making..

Christopher Waller SS12

“boyish chic” cool is what Christopher Waller’s upcoming collections are all about. The designer teamed up with British Actress, Sophie Wu to create and design AW12.  The outcome is awesome textures and gorgeous pieces that are done in muted colors – lots of blacks, whites and greys.  There’s leather paneled outerwear pieces, digitally printed silks and jerseys, combinations of lace, as well as silks and wool.  Sophisticated, well-made and once again, practical. Got to love this Made in London line.

I could..

live in those pants. Well, pretty much the entire Christopher Waller AW11 collection actually.  The London-based designer drew inspiration for fall from the minimalist artists of the late 50’s and 60’s and his pieces reflect exactly that.  Luxurious fabrics, that are beautifully made with just the right amount of detail and very, very wearable. Simple, super chic and perfect for transitioning from day to night.  Can’t wait to see what he’s got planned for Spring 2012.

The transition..

LN-CC, Fall 2011

from summer to fall is always kind of fun for me. I LOVE summer, but as the stores start filling their shelves with deliveries from the upcoming season, it’s kind of hard not to get excited. After a few months of summer in the city, the cooler weather and the ability to wear bulky sweaters, leather jackets and loose fitting trousers (without have to bundle up too much) is kind of great. I’ve been thinking about fall since the meetings started to discuss the trends and key pieces but seeing the latest arrivals from UK shop, LN-CC, is really getting me quite excited for the cooler temperatures. With brands like Jil Sander, Christopher Waller, Junya Watanabe, Ohne Titel, P.A.M., Pow Wow, Maison Martin Margiela, and so many more it’s kind of hard not to be at least a little bit psyched.. right?
