As promised in this past Friday’s feature post, here is the remaining portion of the Q&A with Berlin based designer, Chris Holzinger:
The Fashionisto: If your label was a person, what would they be like?
Chris Holzinger: Working on collections, I don’t relate to special human characteristics or particular target groups. I rather attach certain attributes to my design pieces like wearability, quality, reliability, function, dispassion and eternalness. It is important to design clothes which are always wearable and which are easy to recombine with diverse fashion style movements and colors. It’s really important to me that my clothes guarantee mobility and flexibility in different situations during daily routine.

Recently featured in February’s Surface Magazine as one of the top ten designers to watch and already in stores like Oak, New York based label Rochambeau’s future looks bright. The team behind Rochambeau consists of Michael Venker, Joshua Cooper, and Laurence Chandler. Meeting at the 2007 Parsons senior thesis show, where Venker had been the recipient of the prestigious Golden Thimble award, the trio realized that they shared a love for the same design aesthetic. Forming Rochambeau, which is Egyptian for the game rock-paper-scissors, each of the trio brings their own strength to the label. With a family background in the print industry, Cooper and Chandler, both 24 bring experience and relationships within the fashion industry. Serving as creative director, Minnesota native Venker, 26 is responsible for the design portion. Venker is a seasoned designer having interned at Marc Jacobs and Helmut Lang as well as working at the Ermenegildo Zegna showroom.

Rochambeau’s debut collection is inspired by the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. Clean lines and silhouettes are livened with unexpected details that allow each piece to be worn in a unique fashion. Effortlessly draped, fabrics like cotton twill, knits, silk wools, and Pima cottons are used to “create structured and malleable looks that seem to fall into place organically.”
