Though things are cooling down in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s actually just beginning to heat up in Australia. Known for their flashy prints and high quality garments, the latest range from veteran Australian brand Schwipe is called ‘The Eyes Don’t Lies.’ Taking inspiration from optical illusions, this trans-seasonal collection includes shorts and t-shirts as well as sweaters, cardigans, jeans, and hoodies. What’s interesting is the whole collection was produced in stereo pairs, so they were able to shoot photos that need to be looked at with 3D glasses. All gear is Australian made. Available now at Schwipe.
Founded in 2005 by Etienne Dekkers and Remco van der Velden, Ontour had simplistic beginnings as a brand selling t-shirts from out of their car. Road trips around the city would be taken to find the best shops in town. Each season results in a theme which can very much be considered a story. Although some designers claim their design concepts are without bounds, Ontour feel boundaries are necessary to create a concept that works and relates. Each season can be grouped based on their design themes. At the end of the day, Ontour is sure to keep things fun and humorous, something that isn’t lacking with this latest collection.
