DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT: MARINE SERRE
MARINE SERRE F/W18
Marine Serre dresses the retrofuturistic woman with her AW18 offering, presenting a selection of dresses reworked with upcycled silk scarves, dynamically molded denim pieces, and contoured safari jackets, all cloaked in translucent raincoats and decorated with a scattering of her eternal crescent moon emblem. The collection speaks in an ecologically conscious tone, all without compromising the elegance Serre has come to be known for.

KIDILL F/W18
Kidill’s AW18 collection continues their chronicle of reimagined punk through controlled chaos—a simple color palette paired with wild, unrestrained forms. Trench coats are mutated and constructed inside-out, while trousers are cropped and slashed, exposing plaid layers within. Exclusive to H. Lorenzo is a bomber jacket gaudily decorated with rings and pearl strands, a delinquent invitation to explore the undone sensibilities of the punk mind.

HARVARD HOUSE MOTEL EDITORIAL
Shot at the Harvard House Motel by Parker Woods, our AW18 editorial highlights the multifaceted nature of our women's offering—from Kwaidan Editions' landscape-print shirt and Comme des Garçons' candy-wrapper cellophane dress, to Nicolas Lecourt Mansion's delicate floral cape and Sies Marjan's watercolor furs. The final touches of Cecilie Bahnsen's open-backed cable knit and Charlotte Knowles' tortoiseshell slip serve as sheer reminders of a vulnerable, feminine essence.

OCTOBER 2018
Glenn Marten's Y/PROJECT continues into its 9th Season with FW18, seeing fully-functional garments doubled, layered, and distorted upon each other. Tiered Denims, High-waisted vented pants and cropped shorts, and thematic spirals within accesories round out the bulky and amorphous tops. A dichotomy is struck between materials used from stiff Jacquards to sheer lenticular fabrics, further accenting the dynamic of Martens design capabilites, which are seen on full display for FW18.
Martens graduated from Antwerps Royal Academy of Fine Arts at the age of 25. Hesitantly accepted an appointment as creative director of the late Yohan Serfatys Y/Project in 2013 after a discussion with Serfaty's buisness partner, Gilles Elalouf about diverting the brands sleek and dark direction. “There was no point in recreating Yohan and what he was doing, because I’m not Yohan,” -"...I kept the codes of Yohan, which I’ve translated in my own way.” Marten's experience under Serfaty as well as Jean Paul Gaultier (his first appointment after graduation) tailored his skillset as a CD to helm one of the industries fastest rising houses.
DILARA FINDIKOGLU F/W18
Dilara Findikoglu fashions clothes that speak words of love, feminism, and Neo-Gothic opulence. Dynamic shoulders sit above sinuous waistlines, finished with embroidery-peppered velvet, cut-out breastplates loosely tied by satin ribbons, while vinyl coats sport shades of blood and knife-like sleeve belts.
A-Cold-Wall Creative Director Samuel Ross teams up with iconic technical performance brand OAKLEY to offer an industrious collection featuring key elements from both perspective brands. Samuel, an undeniable driving force behind the resurgence of utility inspired garments across the market helms OAKLEYS ability to produce multifaceted technical components, interjecting his signature vision into OAKLEYS uncompromising quality and key ability to manufacture outdoor ready-to-wear. The collection consists of modular coats and pants as well as a side bag accented by heavy duty hardware on practical fabrics. Fluid and self contained, the collaborators echo the individual sentiments of each others perspective aesthetic, resulting in a concrete and justifiable product built on the application of logic and practicality.

"LA VIE EN YOHJI"
Yohji Yamamoto draws from Picassan cubism for AW18, carving smooth figures into his signature wool gabardines. Geometric shoulders are done in tencels, with arms folding like origami resulting in sharp elbows. Yamamoto’s duality between serious and nonsensical is ever apparent, as seen in the acrylic ‘feasting pig” adornments on long, strong shoulder coats, and ‘La Vie En Yohji’ applied to oversized black button ups.
CAMIEL FORTGENS F/W18
Camiel Fortgens Sixth offering AW18 narrates a continuation into the Amsterdam based designers process, displaying traces of the garment development via uncut hems, loose threads, and an application of topstitching. Fortgens weaves a simple story with his bare-faced approach to construction that results in a tangibly honest product meant for both men and women alike.
SEPTEMBER 2018
HENRIK VIBSKOV
We sat down for a quick talk with tireless visionairy, artist, musician and designer Henrik Vibskov from his studio in Denmark.
What is your favorite way to celebrate?
Seafood and white wine with bubbles together with friends, family and the HV crew - all in one big bowl.
Something you do that you wish more people would do too?
I forget it way too much myself - to do some exercises, and to sing, to do music at least once a day.
Favorite childhood smell?
My dad's tobacco pipe and sweet whiskey blend.
Most unexpected place you’ve seen someone wearing your clothes, or most unexpected person you’ve seen wearing your clothes?
Wasn’t expecting cool music ladies like Erykah Badu, Alicia Keys and Lauryn Hill to wear my stuff.
And wasn’t expecting the president of South Korea to start wearing the pencil sunglasses from Gentle Monster collaboration either.
Is there an ethical way to approach clothing consumption, in your eyes as a designer?
We should probably all be naked, but the mankind has since the beginning been searching for stuff that can make us individuals - show to others what we think through what we wear, what we like.
Also, we need fabric in a functional way to cover us from cold, warm, dust, rain. So, we have to keep delivering stuff and design that can live long for such functional needs.
Something that you tell yourself every day, whether it’s a good or a bad day?
For me it means a lot to be social and talk to someone new every day. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a deep talk.
Does the past or the future inform your work process more?
50% - 50% reflects in my work.
However, I would say more the past than the future - as surreal is good, but unreal isn’t.
Any final morsels of wisdom?
During creation process, when you feel stuck and all seems dark, leading nowhere, you just have to search long enough to find the light. And during this journey you might understand that maybe it wasn’t the planned direction in the first place that lead you to the dark.
UMA WANG F/W18
Described tirelessly as a pioneer among reformative Chinese designers, Uma Wang took this season to deflect thoughts of origin, presenting a collection that radiates a certain peculiarity: garments of an unidentifiable time and source. From airy satin worn under a slubby, antique coat, to glossy cupro spliced into the back panel of a fitted cashmere knit, Wang waxes lyrical about a mystery woman, cloaked in anachronistic fabrics as she steps into a hazy future. Visually and tactilely luxurious, Wang’s creations suggest a focused aimlessness—clothes that diffuse an undeniably romantic moodiness, from wherever you come to wherever you are headed.
MONCLER GENIUS X CRAIG GREEN
Craig Green presents his perspective on Moncler's iconic winter staples through the Genius Project, a rolling release of designer collaborations that follows a major restructure at the house of Moncler. Doing away with the Gamme Rouge and Gamme Bleu lines, Moncler's Remo Ruffini introduces the Genius restructure as a reaction to the changing pace of fashion release and consumption.
Green’s translation of Moncler takes the characteristic quilted puffers and inflates them to a geometric extreme. Near totem-like in nature, the creations are simultaneously weighty and buoyant, allusive to astronautical uniforms. Ballooning limbs are symmetrically constricted by free-hanging tubing, while boxy pillows plate the shoulders and body in abundance, effigies of cosmic armor yet to exist. And as much as the pieces engulf their wearers, there is something very calculated and ever-so-sculptural to be admired about Green’s impudent sensibilities.
AUGUST 2018
TOOGOOD
Toogood draws from their ever-eclectic background and influences for their AW18 offering. Spearheaded by sisters Faye and Erica Toogood, the label continues to maintain its distinct positioning in the fashion sphere by applying an interdisciplinary approach to fashion design, integrating product design, painting, and architectural techniques to a canvas of traditional countryside workwear. The resulting clothing is tangibly organic and thoughtfully sculpted. This season’s collection takes cues from the environment, the weather, and the landscape. Layers of terrain parallel mixed fabrics—felts, waxed cottons, ceramic buttons, boiled wools—as well as distinct shapes—oversized cuts, deep scooping hems, geometric appliqués, and dramatic tapers. Above all, the thread of sustainability ties the collection together, with every garment designed to be worn until threadbare, evolving over time with the wearer.
RICHARD QUINN
Richard Quinn showcases printed bodysuits, gloved tops, an abundance of florals, and plisséd dresses as part of his AW18 offering. The first-ever recipient of Her Majesty's British Design Award, Quinn's runway presentation was attended and praised by the Queen of England. With no lack of bright colors and botanical influences, this rising designer demonstrates his mastery of color and pattern combinations, assisted by a collaboration with legendary English print maker, Liberty London.

Y/PROJECT FALL-WINTER 2018
Glen Martins FW2018 Y/Project sees the brands use of doubled-up garments in two-tone tees and intarsia-knit pullovers accented by tiered and layered denim. Styling customization is central to the ethos of Glen Martin's tenure at the helm of the late Yohan Sefaty's Y/Project, with each piece offering multiple ways to wear.
MASAYUKI INO: STRANGEST COMFORT
Masuyuki Ino's Doublet secured 2018's LVMH Prize for Young Designer by utilizing progressive technicality applied to ecclectic Japanese street-wear. Our FW18 selection includes elevated material processing and manufacturing, including exclusive Akoyama denim with a Jacquard selvage, ultra-wide corduroy, and lenticular textiles (garments that change pattern/prints depending on the perspective they are viewed at - in this case accessories that display the words "NO IMAGE" that dissapears as the perspective changes, and a prints that morph between cheetah/denim/plaid). Also prevalent is Ino's master use of intarsia knitting, hand painting, layered free-hand embroidery and the brands now iconic "packaged" garments, all applied thoughtfully to oversized silhouettes.
"BLACKMERLE [blăk-mûrl] noun. - A dark coated dog with irregular streaks and speckles.
H. Lorenzo presents BLACKMERLE - Founded by Vancouver & Seoul based Korean designer Terry Shin, BLACKMERLE emphasizes subverting styling que's from major houses back into the hands of the wearer. Multi-faceted zippers, detachable pockets, sleeves and collars form a modular range of garments with an almost unlimited amount of styling combinations. Adhering to the manifesto "More is More" each design element is carefully preordained from the use of painted and torched TYVEK materials, double woven custom "digital camo" textiles and the application of complex repurposed utility clasps.
MARTINE ROSE
DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT: MARINE SERRE
For FW18, Martine Rose returns to her past in celebration of ten years of design work. Pulling from various seasons of her archive, the designer combines dancehall culture, rave glam, and timeless British punk spirit into a collection that, despite being a retrospective, is still fresh as ever.

99%is // INTERVIEW W/ BAJOWOO
The birth of 99%IS- , Where were you and what were you dreaming of?
1. At that time, I was a junior in college. I started 99%IS- as an experience before graduating and getting a job. I met so many people from different cultures while traveling abroad. Wherever I go, I was not lonely. I was happy because of that minors and that subcultures. I was able to get to know the people and the culture – small as 1% everywhere.
You are always with your friends! How does friendship inspire your creative process?
2. I went to my first live club when I was only 12. I met my big brothers there, and they inspired me to design their clothes, posters, and cds. That’s how my friendship started to inspire my works. I could try something new based on their ideas. Like each part of the band members, drummers or guitarlists, need their own outfits for the best performance. I listened to them, and learn to try something real and something new. We live our own lives, although sometimes they look just the same to someone’s eyes. But We respect each other in this individual life.
What’s your favorite cartoon?
3. Dragon Ball, Tomorrow’s Joe, Slam Dunk
What are your favorite punk bands?
4. SKUNXS – The first ever Korean punk band. It started when I was 21. We did the band together for 3 years. I owed them so much, and took me 3 years to pay the dept.
How does punk culture influence 99%IS-?
5. D.I.Y mindset, attitude and behavior for everything.
How does Seoul and Tokyo culture inspire your designs?
6. It’s not about where I am. At least Korea and Japan is the same to me. Now I’m thinking of our contemporary life in this whole asia, and this whole world. We always change because we are alive. And there are always things we want, need, and must do.
What is something you consider a necessity to your happiness?
7. Health!
