“Hip contemporary Scandinavian elegance with a twist in details and accessories”
David design began as a furniture line, and is now moving into menswear seeking a fusion between these two creative forms. The fall collection is the line’s second collection and focuses on providing the perfect wardrobe for the gentleman. The collection of wool, tweed, and velvet includes formal outwear, waistcoats, jackets, and trousers.
“By combining the strength of timelessness and the enjoyment of the unexpected, Via Snella has created male fashion since 2006. Via Snella believes that the classic will always connect with the modern. In the merging of the two, we explore bold colors, peculiar details and an unusual selection of textiles. The end result is uncomplicated, modern fashion with plenty of opportunity for individualism.” [Via Snella]
Corpus is on its way up the high road. There are still many elements of streetwear in this collection, but it is obvious that Corpus is moving in a different direction. Compared to previous seasons, this look is a lot less urban and more metropolitan. The look is very clean and streamlined. These pieces would not look out of place styled with Patrik Ervell, Band of Outsiders, etc. However, the pieces still carry the edge that Corpus is known for. Every season, there are those little details that stand out and differentiate Corpus from the crowd. This season, the way in which the pieces frame the neck is a focal point. Corpus provides a nice mixture of necklines; both angular and circular. For examples, just look at the collar on the above jacket and the boat neck on the sweater below. Corpus is moving in the right direction and spring looks very promising.
A couple weeks ago, I posted about Swedish brand Jurek and their mission to make clothes with ecological cultivated cotton. At that time, official lookbook images were not available, but now with the November 11th launch of their webstore, new images have been released. The simple understated photos go perfectly with their activist approach to fashion.
