Bernhard Willhelm x Camper Spring/Summer 2010 Collection

Back in May I’ve became a fan of the Camper To&ether Bernhard Willhelm spring/summer 2009 collaboration, they’re back with another collection for spring/summer 2010. Bernhard Willhelm showed his new collection during Paris Fashion Week while the models walked down the runway in his Camper designs. His collection for Camper builds on the two previous ones. It has the same solidity and repeated elements such as the tyre-rubber sole and colored felts. Novelties include the use of latticing, climbing robe, very thick leathers and versions with rubber details that give the shoes a more technical look. The sandal collection is unique and amazing featuring ethnic designs for both men and women, I’m definitely look forward to the release in February. I hope to get a pair of the leather rope heeled sandal, do you like the collection?

For the latest H&M Divided Art collection, they’ve tapped fashion illustrator, Laura Laine, hailing from Helsinki to create two illustrations to be printed on T-shirts and tanks. The collection is currently available at H&M stores in Holland (may be others too) but I haven’t seen them in NYC yet. The illustrations are really pretty, I like. Thanks to reader lucy92 for the tip.

Lawan by Koi Suwannagate for Anthropologie

On the heels of a collection with Ruffian’s Brian Wolk and Claude Morais, Anthropologie tapped LA-based designer Koi Suwannagate to design a collection. According to WWD, the collection will be called Lawan after the Thai word for “beautiful,” the four-style lineup is Suwannagate’s first stab at a secondary collection slated to launch later this month. Lawan retails from $228 to $298, features a gown, two cardigans and a sleeveless top, all cut from wool blends and embellished with the designer’s signature frothy, hand-sculpted appliqués, and each piece represents her past bestsellers.

“We had so many requests for pieces with a more affordable price point,” explained Suwannagate. “But we make everything in-house and it would have been too expensive for us. Working with Anthropologie was a natural fit.”
