Supreme New York is a brand that has always had my attention. Although I don’t fall in love with every piece they release, this most recent release of jackets is really interesting. Collegiate meets street meets workwear seems to be the theme of the line and the patterns stand on their own. Stand-outs for me are the tank top and the navy letterman jacket.
Quality Peoples are back with Spring Summer 13. We’ve followed them from the days of just a blog, when it wasn’t just a blog, and more of a salute to minimal beauty and inspiration. Now we celebrate their newest line and continue to be inspired by their color palette’s; fresh, and confronting of redundant surf lifestyle clothing. qualitypeoples.com
Beautifully designed pieces coupled with a hopeful story and compelling imagery, New-York based clothing brand Maiyet inspires on a number of levels. Pulling from world travels and projects in India, Indonesia, Nairobi, Kenya and beyond, each season’s designs are strongly influenced by the creators’ cultural surroundings and experiences. The clothing is a combination of high-end modern chic bohemian, the pieces bold yet unassuming.
Maiyet joins forces with world-renowned photographers, cinematographers and directors and promotes and sources the work of local artisans in developing communities worldwide. The brand showcases more than the mere objects it sells but also successfully encompasses a lifestyle and a clear vision which is emanated through each campaign. Maiyet is the co-creation of a celebrated social entrepreneur Paul Van Zyl and humanitarian, Daniel Lubtzky who are dedicated to creating businesses with the pure intentions of promoting piece.
At only 19 years old, Margaret Zhang has already so much to be proud of. Not only does she have a serious grasp on fashion, blogging, modeling, and photography, but she also just so happens to study Law in Sydney. Her multiple intelligences come through on so many levels in her blog Shine by Three, and her most recent shoot where she models neoprene and leather for Leroy Nguyen and Harpers Bazaar blows my mind. Her stunning features are complimented in the way she poses; sophisticated, poignant, and minimalistic.
We featured Voo for the ladies last week, but now it’s all about the guys. Opening Ceremony, DSTM, Carven, and Acne are a few of the brands gracing the Voo store’s interior. Blacks, grays, and browns usually tell winters story and as a lot of the items at Voo still scream winter with oranges and traditionally fall hues, we love how color is still a focus and finds itself scattered through the line. Check out the ladies post from last week if you missed it! Voo Ladies.
