Hoping a stockist buys deep into ss2012. This is wonderful stuff - my top hunting targets for ss2012 are in this line.

I have some of the fw11 items and really like them. The ss12 previews I've seen from a few of the stores looks impressive. I believe the Archive will start carrying them this coming season as well.

Loving the double layer hooded vest. The material has great contrast and looks beautiful.

Agree, this is my favourite piece. Too distressed for me but I love the concept ...

The "pulling" stitches (I don't know what the term for this would be) are also a really nice detail.

Can someone explain the "milk" t-shirt?

[cowsareforeating]

mmm depends. there have been partly milk fabrics for centuries, in later 2011 they developed in germany a fabric made completely from milk and water and apparently is antimicrobial and has a similar handfeel as silk.

basically they utilise the milk proteins to intermix with plant fibers probably

what about lactose intollerant people? ;)

the textures on the fw11 collection knits are really nice.

can't wait to see this collection in person and feel the textures in the fabrics!
