sh2 Spring 2010 | Shipley & Halmos

Opt­ing for a pre­sen­ta­tion this sea­son, Ship­ley & Hal­mos turned to short films for inspi­ra­tion. Enti­tled “Ver­sus”, the col­lec­tion took shape in the form of four films show­cas­ing mod­els in the same ensem­bles illus­trat­ing var­i­ous sce­nar­ios such as “sta­tic ver­sus motion” or “action ver­sus reac­tion”. The con­cept is a great play on words and emo­tions see­ing as design­ers Sam Ship­ley and Jeff Hal­mos took a more lax route this sea­son. Set­ting up the likes of casual knits and out­er­wear against more for­mal gar­ments, ver­sus took on a whole new mean­ing as Ship­ley & Hal­mos illus­trated that they can pull off a laid-​​back col­lec­tion, while still main­tain­ing their clean lines and impec­ca­ble tailoring.

    I never watched their short films, but these col­lec­tion is so bor­ing, peo­ple like you and me who read fash­ion mag­a­zines blogs reg­u­larly can design clothes like this. not impressed.

      I don’t know about that one. I can see how some peo­ple would find it bor­ing, but for me, it is about con­text. With their body of work and price point, it is nice to see such a refined, but lax col­lec­tion that is not over­bur­dened by styling. The pieces are straight-​​forward. You can look at them and decide, do I like this? For me, it’s a quick yes or no with­out hav­ing to con­tem­plate other pieces that or shown or that I already have. For instance, I am more an Ann Demeule­meester type of guy, but I love the first blazer. I can imag­ine it played don with jeans and a long knit or spruced up with coor­di­nat­ing trousers and oxfords. But, at the end of the day, fash­ion is quite subjective.
