Designer Discovery: POUR

The Swedish are coming. The Swedish are coming!!! Lately, Swedish designers have been taking the fashion world by storm with collections like Acne, Whyred, Cheap Monday, Rodebjer, Lovisa Burfitt, Mini Market, Hope, Velour, Ulrika Sandström, and Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair becoming household names (at least in my house they are).

POUR is no exception. The line, created in 2001 by designer Robert Berggren, is inspired by icons of the Beatnik Generation like Jack Kerouac and Patti Smith. With edgy remakes of classic pieces like thick knits and toggle coats, the line continuously showcases effortlessly cool pieces that unrestricted by fleeting trends. The Winter 07 line for women features oversized sweaters and relaxed fit bottoms for a bohemian feel, while the men’s line is composed of shockingly dark separates with luxurious mixing of texture and fabric.

About the Author: Founder and main dude at Fashion Indie, Daniel Saynt began his career in fashion at the tender age of 14, when he worked in the stockroom for some unnamed fashion whorehouse. His distaste for the mainstream quickly festered until he decided enough was enough, denouncing all mainstream fashion lines (unless the stuffs on sale or just down right irresistible or free, you can't say no to free).
