Carin Wester Spring 2011 | Stockholm Fashion Week

Carin Wester sends her man on a vaca­tion for her lat­est show­ing. Com­bin­ing a refresh­ing new per­spec­tive with her refined vision for men, Wester employs a resort-​​ready col­lec­tion lined with opened shirts, coor­di­nat­ing trousers and sleeve­less num­bers. Pair­ing her sig­na­ture knits with a dar­ing use of lace and intri­cate prints, Wester crafts another infec­tious out­ing for her beloved man.

Gabriel Gronvik for Carin Wester Fall 2010

As the fall sea­son kicks off, we revisit Carin Wester’s fall col­lec­tion with a look at the designer’s newly released look­book fea­tur­ing Gabriel Gron­vik. As we reviewed ear­lier this year, “Carin Wester con­structs her sig­na­ture knitwear with great sub­tlety this sea­son. Dressed in dark and earthy hues, cropped knits and shrunken trousers make for a fash­ion­ably awk­ward pair­ing that gives the col­lec­tion great char­ac­ter. Mean­while, slouchy cardi­gans and tonal ani­mal prints pro­vide Wester’s man more options to express a cer­tain soft­ness. Finally, Wester seam­lessly eases into boxy out­er­wear, not los­ing the collection’s over­all sense of relax­ation. Play­ing with pro­por­tions and sil­hou­ettes, Wester once again lends menswear a gen­tle attribute, while main­tain­ing a degree of accessibility.”

Spring 2010 | Carin Wester Revisited

Just when you think you have Carin Wester pegged, she rein­vents the wheel. Sleek and unas­sum­ing, Wester’s softer side comes out to play this sea­son. Being mind­ful not to cre­ate a col­lec­tion that is overly fem­i­nine, Wester excels with the right bal­ance of sen­si­tiv­ity and strength. Knits, tanks and tees accent the male form with strong mas­cu­line shapes, while loose trousers are a wispy spring dream. Fur­ther­more, the sim­plic­ity and beauty of this season’s designs are high­lighted by their neu­tral color palette. Wester’s col­lec­tion beams with great con­fi­dence and per­son­al­ity, yet remains focused. The col­lec­tion does not need exag­ger­ated pro­por­tions or bold prints to have fun. Instead, Wester crafts a range of fear­less sil­hou­ettes that are as entic­ing as they are refreshing.

New Webshop Launch | Carin Wester

After a slight delay, Carin Wester has launched a web­shop that is fully stocked with this fall’s col­lec­tion. There is a vin­tage sec­tion up, but no stock as if yet. We can only hope that means the even­tual stock of pieces from past col­lec­tions. Until then, view the shop here.

Carin Wester Fall 2009

This past Jan­u­ary, we reviewed Carin Wester’s fall 2009 col­lec­tion and now with the release of the look­book, it is time to take another gan­der. After a frilly fem­i­nine spring, it was sur­pris­ing to see Wester take such a dark turn with her fall col­lec­tion, but under the eco­nomic cli­mate, not so much. Somber grays, blacks and rich pur­ples are fit­ting of a moody fall, but Wester soft­ens this image with a woman’s touch. Instantly, bil­low­ing high-​​waist trousers cre­ate the image of a mod­ern gen­tle­man who can main­tain his demeanor, whether in a sharp tai­lored blazer or over­size top and knit. Although the end result is a col­lec­tion that is more mas­cu­line than usual, Wester still man­ages to have fun by throw­ing in polka dots and the occa­sional ruf­fled col­lar or two. Also, not to go unno­ticed is this season’s model, who in addi­tion to being styled impec­ca­bly sports painted fingernails.
