A selection of Leutton Postle's Spring/Summer 2013 collection

A selection of Leutton Postle's Spring/Summer 2013 collection by Nicholas Remsen Published: December 18, 2012

Webbed in London’s kaleidoscopic fashion grid is a burgeoning biology, a semaphore for the city’s still-forming industry ID: color. Mary Katrantzou exploded onto the circuit a few years back with her fine-tuned prints, bowed and pixilated like so many tiny iPad screens. Christopher Kane sent pulse-waves ’round the world with his acidic-pastel graduate collection in 2006, progressing along the way to a full-spectrum phantasmagoria for Resort 2012. And everyone’s favorite hype-machines, Meadham Kirchhoff, are in no way quiet about their riot – these kids live and breathe the term “eye-candy.” Yet a fresh, glittering swell is about to crash upon the CMYK shores of Britain’s design industry, bringing with it a venerable tide of the new-new, poised for global attention. Sam Leutton and Jenny Postle (of their surname-eponymous line Leutton Postle) could very well be riding its crest.

“We have quite equal skills but we assume different positions, as we don’t really work in the same way,” Postle told ARTINFO in a recent interview. “I have to float around and dip in and out of things to come up with something.” It’s an apt insight, considering the airy contemplativeness of her and Leutton’s fledgling knitwear label. Spindled strands in Pantone-rich dyes are the duo’s jump-off — Postle opened the Central Saint Martins Master’s Fall/Winter 2011 show with a series of tufted, Navajo-tech meets predacious scarecrow looks, from which the brand’s aesthetic was born.

Shortly after her graduate show Postle paired with Leutton, a fellow Saint Martins undergrad alum who had been cutting her teeth in knitwear innovation in China before moving back to the U.K. It’s been a harmonious partnership ever since, culminating (thus far) in a Spring/Summer 2013 presentation rife with threads, beads, and an only-out-of-London cool factor all but impossible to locate elsewhere.

It formed out of “traditional patch-working techniques, appliqués, collages, and the decorative works of the Ndebele tribe,” said Leutton of the mix-and-matched, sportily bohemian collection. “We were aiming for a kind of ’70s disco-acid and youthful feel.” Combining and harmonizing crochets, quilting, tousled wrap skirts, and slouch, these girls blow granny chic out of the water.

When asked about her and Leutton’s consistent sources of inspiration, Postle bluntly replied, “Eurovision, friends, and Memphis.” Friendship is a keen talking point here, as amicability takes on its own sort of phenomenon amongst London’s young and talented design set. Most of them know each other, most of them can be found in Dalston or Hackney at any given hour, and most of them attended Central Saint Martins. That such a precocious group could all essentially come from the same place is a testament to the Master program’s director, Louise Wilson, who is famous for teaching her students to edit and re-edit and re-re-edit until the faintest skeletons of their original ideas are left. “We think about her quite a lot," said Postle. “She is the wisest person I have ever met so it would be impossible not to.” The educational bloodline shows through in Leutton Postle’s output: it vetoes and tames what could easily veer into arts-and-crafts territory — it makes the zany look considered.

At this point, what remains to be seen is the brand’s flight path. They’ve been buoyed by the London-based sponsorship platform Vauxhall Fashion Scout over the past two seasons, yet they remain relatively tiny on the larger scale of things (they’ve only got a handful of stockists, namely Brown’s and Avenue 32, plus three new stores in Asia for Spring/Summer 2013). They’ve hinted at menswear and they’ve considered expansion, yet as Postle said, “We wouldn’t do anything unless we knew we could do it amazingly.”

For now it would appear that they are likely to keep things small and neat — happy to groove out their colorful little niche in the rising tide. And as for finding riches at the end of their rainbow, these girls needn’t worry. They’re striking gold along the way.

Intersection: Sharp & Sober Street Style on the Upper East Side

The Upper East Side of Manhattan is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful parts of New York City.

It’s easy to get distracted by high-profile residents coming and going (Paul McCartney, the fashion designer Michelle Smith of Milly, and Ramona Singer from the “Real Housewives of New York City” were spotted on a recent visit), but when you look past the boldfaced names, landmark buildings, well-tended sidewalks, museums and Central Park, you see a distinct sense of style, even in its most extreme variations

Road to Indonesia Fashion Week 2013: The Concept
by ketupatkartini — Monday, October 1st, 2012 at 2:25 pm

in Designer, Events, Industry News, Made in Indonesia, Style-List, Trends

Ladies, this is an early reminder about the next Indonesia Fashion Week (IFW) 2013. Take a BIG note as this event will be held on 14-17 of February 2013. Yes, it’s a long way to go, but you should know that this is just the second IFW, but they –APPMI– as the creator and main organizer is planning to make next year’s way bigger and more ‘significant’. So how’s that possible? Let’s take a look.

The fashion show preview

Eight designers are going to release the preview of their new collection to be perform on IFW stage! Representing each day/theme, the preview was showed during IFW gathering. They are Ardistia and Sapto Djokokartiko for avant garde/cocktail theme, Irna Mutiara and Jenny Tjahjawaty for muslim, Deden Siswanto for Men & Urban Contemporer, and Lenny Agustin and Anastasia for Casual Cutting Edge theme.

1. Part of World Fashion Week: This year, IFW established itself to be part of the world’s fashion week. It is initialed by the affiliation of Indonesia into the World Fashion Week, its headquarter in New York, and International Fashion Week based out of Brisbane. Thus, IFW will adopt world fashion week standards in terms of both scale of exhibitions and product quality.

2. Different theme for each day: IFW has 4 main elements: Fashion Show, Exhibition, Talkshow / Seminars and Competition. It will convey different theme for each day; Avant Garde, Cocktail & Party (Day 1), Muslims (Day 2), Men & Urban Contemporer (Day 3), Casual Cutting Edge (Day 4). Fashion shows will be divided into 4 types: Prime Show (ready-to-wear collection from designers who are already go-international), Semi Prime (fashion show featuring talented young designers), Single Show (single collection of Indonesian designers) and Non-Stop Runways (non-stop fashion parade of 30 designers).

Segmented zones

I should say, this is a brilliant idea. These acknowledgement zones are reflection of the concern from the bigger stakeholders of fashion industry itself. Fashion designers also have responsibility to the environment, and the favorable development of the industry as well.

Starting Point – displays the work of artists / designers / creative individual to be offered to the fashion industry as mass production. It’s a closed area for public, and only buyers are allowed. This is also where we learn to appreciate one’s ideas, that creativity is something rightfully owned by the creators. Copycat and any practice of plagiarism are infamy.

Concept Point – to facilitate exhibitors who already have the concept of a complete set of women/men clothes, accesories, etc., in one brand. Participants are expected to be ready for exports.

Green Point is a learning zone to environmentally friendly products and displaying innovative green products from artists and designers.

3. ‘Sarong’ into everyday wear: Consistent in taking Sarong as Indonesian pride and identity, IFW 2013 continues to bring this program and campaign into some projects and activities. On it’s first occurrence, common plaid sarongs were promoted and transformed into everyday wear, through a competition. The upcoming IFW will endorse sarong Toraja as a fashion item to be globally recognized.

Singapore Welcomes French Couture the latest from the runways

SINGAPORE — When Yiqing Yin showed her gentle, beautifully crafted collection under the banner of Haute Couture Fashion Week here this month, she was, to a certain extent, going “home.”

The French fashion couture and ready-to-wear syndicate aims to boost profiles in the East of a few unheralded designers.

The Chinese-born, Paris-based designer was one of a handful of experimental designers, high on handwork, who were picked to show their creations in Singapore at the beginning of December. The country’s vibrant high-rise city is the only place in the East that has held formal showings of French haute couture collections.

For Ms. Yin, this was a challenging moment — not least because she never expects to return to her birth country and has made her home in Europe. But she feels a visceral sense of the importance of showing her work in the Far East.

Racing Toward the Red Carpet

December 14, 2012 Racing Toward the Red Carpet By Marcy Medina
with contributions from Fatima Rizwan From:
WWD Issue 12/14/2012

LOS ANGELES — As nominations were unveiled Thursday for the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 13, the red-carpet race kicked into high gear, setting in motion a complex dance involving celebrity stylists, designers and their liaisons, and the suddenly media-swamped actresses whom everyone is vying to dress.

Although stylists have been considering designers and dresses since the last runway cycle in September, most hold out for the most up-to-the-minute designs slated for the January couture and February ready-to-wear shows. Top stylists with long-standing fashion house relationships have already been privy to some versions of these creations via sketches customized for particular clients, putting them ahead of most editors as far as previewing a house’s designs.

“I’ve had a sense for the last two months of which girls I work with who would most likely be attending the Globes, SAG [Screen Actors Guild] Awards, etc.,” said stylist Cristina Ehrlich, whose clients include Best Supporting Actress nominee Amy Adams and Best Actress, Television Comedy or Musical nominee and Globes host Tina Fey.

“Partly why I moved from Los Angeles to New York has been to cultivate relationships with designers so that I can plant the seed throughout the year and get a sense of who wants to work with whom so that out of the gate we can work directly with a designer to make it a seamless, high-end experience that’s exclusive,” Ehrlich said. “I’ve seen some sketches in the last week and some relate to pre-fall collections, which often play into fall, while others are from capsule collections that are more representative of red-carpet season rather than a runway collection.”

Then there is the matter of logistics, since actresses and their stylists are often on opposite coasts or sides of the world, depending on current movie filming schedules, international premieres and the like. Meanwhile, the designers are mainly in New York or Europe, if not in some far-flung holiday destination for a short respite in a few weeks’ time.

This necessitates several rendezvous to decide on a dress and complete fittings. Many will make under-the-radar stops in Los Angeles, and many stylists and their clients will arrange their schedules to come to them. FedEx also proves invaluable as a means of transporting sketches, swatches and actual gowns, but there is no replacement for a one-on-one fitting.

“I will have to travel to fittings for sure,” said Elizabeth Stewart, who styles Best Actress nominee Jessica Chastain, who is currently promoting her film “Zero Dark Thirty” internationally in between appearing on Broadway in “The Heiress.” “It’s like a math equation.”

Given Chastain’s fondness for European designers — she wore Givenchy couture to last year’s Globes and Alexander McQueen to last year’s Oscars when she was a Best Supporting Actress nominee — there likely will be some transatlantic miles logged.

Gilles Mendel, who hosted a ladies’ lunch in Beverly Hills on Thursday, found the timing to be fortuitous.

“Today was the perfect day to be here,” said Mendel, who dressed Claire Danes at last year’s Globes, where she snagged the Best Actress, Television Drama statuette. Noting that he doesn’t have a specific silhouette or color palette in mind for the Globes, only that “its more fun than the Oscars,” Mendel said, “I have good relationships with several stylists, so often they come to New York. But all the actresses love Hollywood glamour so I try and give it to them.”

Musical chairs at the European fashion houses has added a level of excitement and anticipation long unseen on the red carpet. From Alexander Wang at Balenciaga to Hedi Slimane at Saint Laurent and Raf Simons at Dior, not to mention current free agent Nicolas Ghesquière, fashion insiders are holding their collective breath.

“I loved the YSL show, and Marc Jacobs,” said stylist Tanya Gill, who hoped that the graphic black-and-white trend appears on the red carpet next month.

Said Stewart, “It’s exciting to have so many brilliant young designers doing such amazing work…and such a privilege to get to work with them in this context. I am really open to anything. I can’t wait to see what everyone will wear.”
