Nom de Guerre Spring 2010 | Combat Continues

Carl — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 17:50:00 +0000

Nom de Guerre remains dedicated to further exploring a military motif as they move forward into the spring 2010 season. Entitled “The Combat Continues”, the tenth collection was inspired by “an examination of political oppression, rebellion and circumvention as illustrated by the colonizing of Algeria and the resulting Algerian War.” Merging the attire of civilian insurgency forces with the uniforms of the French colonial army, Nom de Guerre arrives at a hodgepodge of ideas similar to the journalistic film footage of Chris Marker. As camouflage moves to conceal functional uniform separates, desert-wear provides a soft foil that brings to surface the issue of humanity and equality. After all, “the intent of the collection is also, to highlight the significance of society–any society distinct from our own, particularly in oppression or upheaval…”

Over the Stripes pays tribute to musician and style aficionado Beck with their t-shirts available in black or white, while Nom de Guerre is off to an early start with their cold weather appropriate hooded scarves and neck warmers. Available at Oki-ni.

New Arrivals – Is It Fall Already? Transition

Spring can be pleasant, but the heat of summer can be brutal. Right now is about the time that the fall season starts looking rather nice. Enter Oki-ni with the perfect stock. The latest pieces from Hederus (pictured above) are the embodiment of flighty summer appropriate fashion, while pre-orders from Nom de Guerre’s fall collection, The Third Generation (pictured below) are accompanied by images of fallen leaves and the initial cold of winter–sounds like a dream!

“The Third Generation” – Nom de Guerre Fall 2009

The ninth collection from Nom de Guerre takes its inspiration from the Arctic region. The Northern atmosphere along with its extreme weather conditions are the perfect match for Nom de Guerre’s signature militaristic look. Creating a uniform of survival, a majority of the pieces utilize the colors olive green and khaki, while black and gray serve as bases to signify the polar night. The collection takes shape with heavy parkas, anoraks, vests, and thick knits, while Sherpa and wool bring added warmth. This season also marks Nom de Guerre’s collaboration with Wings + Horns on a selection of heavy fleece training sweatshirts. This collection is “dedicated to one who truly lives, so to no one, probably.”

Nom de Guerre Spring 2009

Carl — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 16:22:59 +0000

Nom de Guerre is back with spring. I loved their fall 2007 and spring 2008 collections, but I failed to see any individual pieces in the fall 2008 collection that left me excited. Continuing with their militant inspiration, this season has a lot dark hyper-masculine “smart” jackets and trousers, but also includes what I would consider “training” inspired gear. A lot of these looks are paired with Nom de Guerre’s take on sweats. The complete looks are visually awkward, but I love the sweats on their own. The thick cuff is a nice addition. I’m hoping the accessories see the light of day as they would be interesting additions to any wardrobe.
