autumn/winter 2014, Carin Rodebjer, casual-wear, Rodebjer - the label, womenswear

Designer, Carin Rodebjer creates pieces for

the woman who desires a look of casual comfort

with a element of subtle sensuality.

…

Her design perspective is involved and considers

a look, a feel, an attitude of being a woman.

She describes her aesthetics as a recognition of

“…how it feels as a woman. There have always been more dimensions to it than the actual look. It’s the feel … it’s holistic in a way.”   (quote from nymag.com)

…

(image from elle.se):

designer, Carin Rodebjer

Born in Sweden and now based in New York City,

Ms. Rodebjer launched her line in 1999.

Her collections are pitched to the mid-fashion range:

fabulous clothing at a price point achievable for most customers.

 

…

 

For her a/w  2014 collection,

Ms. Rodebjer remained true to her design objectives:

casual, sexy, comfort.

The outfits were anchored by sneaker fashion wear

which I loved-   Absolutely!

Favlook – Lookfav Focus! Winter warmers: hand muffs and ‘body muffs’

Since the 16th century, hand muffs have been a

womenswear winter fashion accessory.

These hand-warmers were cylindrical shaped,

opened at both ends and made of luxury fur or fabric-

decidedly a dress trend of the wealthy (and royalty!).

 

…

…

Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries they were worn

by women and men alike.

 

…

…

However by the 20th century, hand-muffs had evolved into

a mostly women focused accessory.

…

During the chilly season of a/w  2014,

allow gloves and mitts to ‘fashion-hibernate.

Revive the hand muff as signature winter warmer wear

for keeping frosty fingers toasty warm.

And why limit muff-wear to hand cover?  Alternate use of a woolen scarf with a

faux fur ‘body muff’ for added warmth and style factor.

“Kitted, like a football team,”

is how British menswear designer Christopher Shannon

describes his a/w 2014 collection.

The pieces generate an urban, sportswear, contemporary vibe

tempered with a soft, effortlessness:  a blend of street attitude and lux ease.

The materials and patterns use tell the style-story of

a certain toughness with leather, a visual softness with florals

and an inventiveness with men’s knit silhouette.
