The first thing I see when I look at this collection is a mixture of Yohji Yamamoto and Rick Owens. The baggy straight leg trousers are brilliant, but they are countered by a more practical regular fit trouser. All around amazing collection.

I’ve always wondered where Mary-Kate Olsen finds her ‘I just threw on this blanket-like dress and anything else I found on my floor and still seem the least bit put together’ pieces.. she might have found it with Forme D’Expression. These incredibly layered and semi-deconstructed pieces would do both MK, and LookBook proud with their, ‘I just rolled out of bed but still look incredibly fashionable’ quality. As far as menswear goes, the basics retain the deconstruction of the women’s wear, but are simple enough to be worn by anyone from full time model to joe-shmo. The Fall ’09 ‘Factory of Faith’ collection is available in select cities across the US (New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston), and in dozens of countries across the globe. As always, the basic black, white, and grays can never do wrong, and with looks this seemingly effortless, neither can you.

This amazing Italian came to when Koeun Park, former designer for the Giorgio Armani Black Collection and Donna Karan, decided he had enough with bandwagon fashion. His latest Spring 2009 collection is definitely anything but bandwagon. Choosing to go with straight up fashion pieces rather then a trend saturated collection, Park has made shown how he can mix his past work with Armani and Karan to create a wearable, desirable line.

Thanks to Selectism for the snapshots.
