fashion copycat: fashion week street style.

The Fashion Web — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 20:25:04 +0000

During a lecture break, my friend suggested a website called Looklet that she assumed would peak my interest. The website is part Lookbook, part Polyvore and part paper doll. (was I the only one with a Dollzmania addiction as a child?) The concept consists of choosing a model who you …

Picking Peter Jensen

The Fashion Web — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 12:54:17 +0000

Peter Jensen’s signature bunny rabbit is a telltale sign of his quirky accessories and smile inducing touches that always accompany his collection.

Peter Jensen is one of those designers that I have often admired from afar but for one reason or another his designs have eluded my wardrobe. No longer. Over the weekend the designer opened his studio doors on Shacklewell Lane for a sample sale and this opportunity was too good to miss. Jensen’s whimsical creations offer a Scandinavian approach to directional day wear that reaches out to the comical and the colourful in all of us. As soon as I entered the well organised sale space my eyes were drawn to the SS10 rail and a printed long sleeve shirt in particular…

A closer look at the silhouette scene

My apprehension towards prints in all of their myriad of forms is well documented on the blog, as is my desire to turn this sartorial uneasiness in to a gun ho approach of colours and designs. Who better to hold my cautious hand and confidently lead me through in to the world of prints than the playful London based Dane? This SS10 find evokes memories of my childish attempts to create paper cut portraits. Of course, my creations come along way short of this silhouette scene. Here, children play with balls, playful dogs excitedly pull on their leads, hatted gentleman confidently totter down the road. I’m not quite sure what imagined scene the print depicts but I’m quite sure that I would have there if I ever visited.

To ease myself in to the world of print I decided to layer the printed shirt under a simple navy cashmere sweater from M&S.

The playful cuff.

Jensen has carved out a reputation as a designer whose impeccably produced creations thread together mischievous humour and a celebratory approach to individuality, with an impressive attention to detail and lightness of touch. This approach is clearly apparent in his designs for both men and women – the results of which always deftly remain on the wearable side of unconventional. His is a spirit which manages, seemingly effortlessly, to be simultaneously modern and timeless, fun yet rather clever, too. It is infectious. For me, this sample sale gem embodies everything that is wonderful about the designer.

Peter Jensen Gets Death Threats For Loving Greenland

Saynt — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 13:28:04 +0000

Seems Greenland is pissed at Peter Jensen over this comment…

“In paying homage to my aunt Jytte, who was made so welcome by the people of Nuuk in the late Sixties, we hoped to bring the world’s attention to the beauty of the Greenlandic national costume.”

Apparently Greenland is a lot like Fight Club and the first rule is “YOU DON’T TALK ABOUT GREENLAND”. The designer is getting death threats. Yeah, I know, countries are stupid.

RUNWAY RUNDOWN: Peter Jensen Fall 2009

Kirby Marzec — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 22:10:48 +0000

To put it simply, Peter Jensen’s Fall 2009 collection was a Scandinavian girl’s dress up box. I’m normally not one to enjoy the conglomerate of garments, layered to the point of sweat in strange crevasses, but Jensen, with a keen eye for styling, made the hills come alive (with the sound of music). Floral prints, blanket sweaters, tea cup boots, wool-knit caps, high-neck blouses and mitten scarves were the pieces that pulled the whole mountainy youthful vibe together. The boys were even in on the actions, sporting puffy floral vests, layered tweed jackets and belted with animal buckles. An absolutely adorable inspiration for the fall!

Horse Purse? I Think Neigh.

Kirby Marzec — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 21:22:41 +0000

Remember back in the day when carrying a purse that looked like your dog Fifi was all the rage? Those days are dead. I saw a woman uptown last week carrying a bag that looked like a Scottish Terrier and I almost vomited. Well, let’s just say I shook my head in disgust Peter Jensen Horse Purse on Daniel Jenkins’ site. Yeah, it’s cute…for a six year old girl carrying her library books. Honestly, if I ever saw anyone over the age of, let’s say 14, sporting one of these horse purses, I’d think it was a joke. Over the age of 20, then they’re just plain special (and not in a gifted child prodigy kind of way…). Really people, this is almost as bad as those anime kids who insist on wearing cat ears 24/7.

Thanks Bored and Beautiful!
