Dear readers,
We’ve been getting a lot of requests to highlight some of our favorite shops around the world. We heard you and we begin our series with DAAD-DANTONE in Milan.
DAAD DANTONE is a multibrand boutique for men and women, as well accessories, shoes, jewelry, and fragrances from the likes of Rick Owens, Boris Bidjan Saberi, Deepti, m.a.+, Layer 0, Gareth Pugh, Damir Doma, Undercover, Jan Jan Van Essche, and others.
The shop, founded in the 1960s, showcases women and men’s collections in an refined and minimal monochrome display. Since the beginning, the boutique was based on an intimate lounge, an alternative concept for Milan’s “Quadrilatero” fashion system.
We would like to present to you the workspace of Daniel Andresen, who designs and produces his knitwear in Antwerp. All knitwear is made in-house, without any outsourcing.
We are co-hosting Diane Pernet’s Film Festival, A Shaded View on Fashion Film in Chicago this May with Gallery Aesthete and School of Art Institute of Chicago. There will be a Q&A session with Diane Pernet after the screenings. We hope you can join us.
Last week we alerted you to the new mini-documentary on Martin Margiela. It has now been released online by the YOOX group.
This video with clothes by Iris van Herpen and choreography by Russel Maliphant was shot by Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones, who have collaborated with Bjork and Alexander McQueen, for AnOther Magazine. The music is by Salvador Breed, who has done all the music for Iris van Herpen (and not just because they are a couple!).
Despite her commercial success and critical acclaim Chitose Abe and her Tokyo label sacai are still a pretty well kept secret among the fashion industry’s cognoscenti. A product of the Comme des Garcons design lab that is adept at turning out prodigies, Abe has launched sacai in 1999, while she was at home nursing her child (Chitose is married to Junichi Abe, also a CdG alumni, whose label is kolor).
We would like to present to you Abasi Rosborough’s latest editorial, DIASPORA. Model: Joshua Kissi
