FCRB 2008 Spring/Summer Collection

Throughout Hirofumi Kiyonaga’s three brands, FCRB (FC Real Bristol) is perhaps the most casual of his three offerings. The football inspired collection does well in combining a casual football culture with more refined pieces in a truly diverse collection. Aside from technical releases involving fabrics competent for active use, the collection also features items such as chinos and blazers. While it’s often difficult to combine an athletic aesthetic into a more fashionable product, FCRB in our minds have achieved a great balance. The unveiling of their S/S collection is also something innovative and fun, utilizing toy dolls and miniature versions of the products as displays with blow-up shots of the products. View the interactive display over at FCRB.

Ace Hotel x Number (N)ine Collection

Portland’s Ace Hotel forms the latest inspiration for Japanese brand Number (N)ine’s 2008 Fall collection. In a movement made popular by the likes of Kurt Cobain through the Northwestern corridor, this collection designed by Takahiro Miyashita possess a distinct grunge tone. The runway show titled “My Own Private Portland” commenced with a voicemail message and made-in Portland Pendleton wool blankets for guests. The blankets emblazoned with imagery of the iconic and historical significant Thompson elk statute represent a throw back to America’s past as well as a good showing of direction for this collection. For Miyashita, the inclusion of Ace Hotel in his inspiration signified his desire to shed light on Portland in a real and authentic manner, one that showcases the luxurious, albeit in an irregular manner which remembers the past. The blankets will be available for sale through Number (N)ine’s Manhattan location as well as a soon to be opened Ace outpost in New York.
