Honeyee is really blasting its audience with a high traffic of excellent features. Within the past week we’ve seen SS/08 for Levi’s Fenom and the Uniform Experiement. Now they present another hit with Number (N)ine SS/08. It may be the most impressive piece of all, the photography and capturing movement is excellent. Though a lot of the garments are more Haute Couture, they really make amazing photographic elements. Honeyee is really stepping itself up with these simultaneous features, maybe it has something to do with its paper-format success. We see a lot Visvim x Gore-Tex x (N)ine multi-faceted collabos in there, mixed in with lets say an “optimistic goth” imagery.
