Hasta La Ideas

Résultat d’une collaboration entre Halfmann Mennickeim Design et l’agence Elastique, la société Krizzl propose une customisation très créative pour les protections (case) d’iPhone 4 ou 5. Un concept réussi basé sur un cahier à dessin détachable en étui. A découvrir en détails dans la suite.

London design studio Sibling continued their fixation on enormous knitted accessories in their Autumn Winter 2013 menswear show, titled Please Kill Me.

Sibling created giant knitted headgear, scarves and mittens for their range shown during London Collections: Men, the British capital’s dedicated menswear event which took place earlier this year.

Colourful crocheted flowers that spell out the collection’s title and a light blue hat brim provide the only colour in the otherwise all-black opening look.

Baby blue continues in the next four outfits, most prominently as a furry scoop neck jumper with a knitted hem and collar that wraps over a huge hat.

The colour is then paired with black in a geometric pattern of diamonds and stripes, employed on a jumper in one instance, then on cropped trousers and an extra-long scarf in the next.

Patterns become more intense as the blue is replaced by pink, reccuring on leggings, T-shirts, cardigans and trousers.

A deconstructed cable-knit pullover provides the most extreme example of Sibling’s signature use of chunky knitwear.

The infantile colours are overtaken by bright red in the final third of the show, with leopard print patterns used on a top, for a full outfit and then trousers respectively.

Snoods cover the shoulders and tuck under or stretch over immense hats.

The jumper in the final outfit pictures a bird, a heart and a banner with the word “hell” written across it, embroidered on a grey front panel and embellished with black fur on the sides and shoulders.

Furry garments are scattered throughout the collection in block colours and every outfit features an element of black, worn with classic Converse high-tops.

The designers debuted their womenswear collection during London Fashion Week last month.

We’ve also featured Sruli Recht’s menswear collection from this season that included wooden clothes.

Central Saint Martins graduate Eilish Macintosh showed outfits tied up with knotted lengths of rope at the institution’s show during London Fashion Week.

White ropes were wrapped around simple, black floor-length gowns and knotted in various places to give form and create a monochrome graphic effect.

“I started trying to make textiles or garments that are more like jewellery, with the separate rope pieces and solid ceramic elements cast into the garments,” Macintosh told Dezeen. “[The collection] was based on traditional pacific jewellery, bondage and in particular the photographs of Nobuyoshi Araki, and Eduardo Paolozzi sculpture.”

Lengths tied around the head obscured models’ vision, while noose-like necklaces hung down the front or back.

The loose ends of the cords were left to trail and whip around the feet of the models as they moved down the runway.

Some of the jersey dresses had full-length sleeves, while others left arms exposed.

A number of outfits had holes in the fabric edged with white ceramic elements, positioned above the navel, close to nipples and at the base of the spine.

Macintosh was awarded the L’Oreal Bursary Award for her collection, which was shown alongside work by other graduates from London’s Central Saint Martins art and design college.

We’ve featured a few Central Saint Martins graduate projects on Dezeen, such as one collection of body jewellery made from bent wood and another formed from plastic bubbles and tubes.

More collections from London Fashion Week include Sister by Sibling’s over-sized crocheted accessories and dresses patterned with bridge trusses by Mary Katrantzou.
