The Carin Wester Spring/Summer 2013 collection is dedicated to the independent, modern woman who stays in the city during the summer. Inspired by the characters of the 1980s movie ›Working Girl‹, the strict »office suit« changes to a more casual outfit for a late evening on a terrace or a long weekend by the lake. The perfect man she is looking for distances himself from the classic suit, revealing contemporary elegance with a relaxed attitude.

ODEUR »PLAIN« SPRING/SUMMER 2013 COLLECTION MEN/WOMEN / PART 1/2

© by Odeur
»As if we had overlooked this before, imagine an archaic society, brisk light, clear lineage, cool stares and candid pedestrians, all united in their solemn embrace of light and clean forms. A shared focus fuelled by their poised demeanour, always effortlessly sharp and intelligently aware of what constitutes appearance. Stepping onto new horizons, wearers embrace sincerity and their sartorial senses from deep within. Uncomplicated and effortlessly plain they unite.
For their Spring/Summer 2013 collection, ODEUR returns to the foundations of our day-to-day awakening and its dress-up conundrums. A calm appraisal of peoples’ individuality, the garments aim to compliment our personal embrace of a new day. Without pre determining your silhouette, ODEUR wants us to be the minute conductors of what we feel inside, as a tool to casually enhance identities. The controlled styles aim to illustrate the reflection of who we are; whether innocent, outgoing or straightforward.
Freed from restraints, S/S13 is an uncomplicated assembly of lush lightweight materials, cool wool, sleek cashmeres, ultra-light sheer cottons and technical fabrics to enhance texture. The understated colour palette, ranging from whites, deep reds, wine tones, to dark blacks, further enhances the versatility and daily functionality of the line. These essential ODEUR colours are isolated on individual pieces, never blended, only to be contrasted by matte or shiny textural effects.
Individual urban trappers step forward in a controlled manner, sporting deconstructed jackets, tailored shorts, cropped sleeveless blazers, crafted shirts and a selection of super light flowing jerseys. Never tricked by societal obstructions or external observations, ODEUR hands us the sartorial tools to be ourselves unconditionally, without ever looking back.«

»WHAT CAN BE SHOWN, CANNOT BE SAID.« 
Ludwig Wittgenstein
The IVANMAN Spring/Summer 2013 collection was inspired by the works of philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951). Like his philosophy, the collection doesn’t aim a general social benefit, but aspires to intellectual and mental purity and clarity. Reality falls apart into things – things, that relate to each other. Each thing has a name in the language. These names obtain their significance only when standing together in a sentence. Sentences fall apart into names, like reality into things. The different segments of the collection, as well as the different segments of the looks receive their meaning only in combination, composition and interaction with each other.
 His philosophy, Wittgenstein says, leaves everything as it is. Just put everything out in front of you and do not conclude. Since everything lies open, there is nothing to declare.
In addition to the inspiration by his philosophical and theoretical work, Wittgensteins fascination for nature is partly reflected in the subdued color spectrum of the collection – it ranges from night-black, sand-beige and leaf-green up to the classic white.

ANNE SOFIE MADSEN »SEDNA« AUTUMN/WINTER 2012/13 WOMEN’S COLLECTION LOOKBOOK

© by Anne Sofie Madsen
After an adventure with the mechanical ballerina and the graceful samurai in the S/S12 collection: Mononoke, Anne Sofie Madsen this time takes inspiration from Sedna; the half skeleton and half human Inuit goddess of the underworld. The horror of Sedna is a tragic story of a young woman who loses her life in the arctic cold and becomes a goddess with a wish for revenge.
The skeleton of Sedna is depicted in the work with techniques inspired by car vings in ivory from the Inuit tupilak figures. The human side of Sedna shows a more vivid figure expressed through the patterns and fringes covering the garments. Silhouettes inspired by Victorian menswear contribute to the atmosphere of the horrendous story. The collection is an expression of a tupilak coming to life in a novel of the late 19th century horror literature.
