Additional images have surfaced from SOPOPULAR’s somber fall outing. Photographed by Stefan Heinrichs, Cole Mohr and Jakob Wiechmann adhere to the same image that much like the new range, balances youth with a new found maturity.
Viva Models provides the all-star talent for SOPOPULAR’s highly anticipated fall 2010 lookbook. Photographed by Stefan Heinrichs, Cole Mohr is joined by Jakob Wiechmann this season. Sporting distinct hairstyles and exuding a natural cool, the duo’s new look represents the new direction of SOPOPULAR. Moving towards a more refined look, the Berlin-based label turns to hues of gray as they experiment with tailored looks that lend themselves to a more organic reinterpretation.

Week in Review: Over-plaid?
Despite Milan and Paris setting the scene for a spate of forthcoming Spring 2010 collections, we became acquainted this past week with a varied array of releases available for Fall 2009. While some hit the mark more than others, the collections all seemed to be participating in a parade of plaid. The plaid, or tartan, pattern was all the rage last fall season, seen in almost every runway show – BryanBoy agreed – and we again just couldn’t escape it earlier this year in Milan. The latest Fall 2009 releases from such labels as the palindromic Kiryuyrik and Junya Watanabe’s self-titled eYe collection with Comme des Garçons continue the trend… is it time to acknowledge that plaid might be just a little overplayed?
Kiryuyrik Fall 2009
Designer Masakatsu Takayanagi – a former pattern maker at Yohji Yamamoto – seems to have made a game of incorporating almost every current movement in fashion in his latest release under Kiryuyrik. There are sheen fabrics, tassels and bondage-inspired strappings, leather boots, a touch of androgyny in the form of kilts and fur… It comes, then, as no surprise that, having seen plaid aplenty during the fall 2009 collections showcased earlier this year, Takayanagi is more than happy to hedge his bets and embrace the tartan trend.
SOPOPULAR Spring 2010
Fresh off their win for Premium’s Young Designers Award in menswear, German label SOPOPULAR previews their spring 2010 collection. Comprised of twenty-six pieces, the collection is a continuation of their “Made in Germany” mantra. Similar to their fall 2009 range, there is a militaristic element to the collection. However, it is softened by lively sprays of color and a pairing of suspenders and shorts that exude a young boyish charm. The pairing perfectly represent the collection that is playful, while still maintaining a firm hold on construction and quality.
