As a little sneak peek to whet our appetites, Chris Peters and Shane Gabier from Creatures of the Wind sent along a couple images from their forthcoming spring '10 collection. With styling reminiscent of the pastoral Louis Vuitton ads of '07, the new pieces show how delightful a little whimsy can be. We're imagining that shimmering bow-tied shirt atop a pair of dark trousers and the headdresses—both the great floral headband and patterned wrap—would add a bit of idyllic charm to any simple outfit. With the weather turning brisk, we're a little miffed that we won't get to cop any of the pieces until post-winter, but with the light at the end of the tunnel looking so sweet, we're sure we can hold out!
I've been a bit feather-brained lately, ever since I came across a vendor on London's Brick Lane that sold handmade feathered hair accessories. And though I left those ruffled concoctions across the pond, when I came across these colorful beauties by Aussie label YesVincent, I fell in love again. I am already thinking of adding a feathered collar to all my plain black dresses, or alleviating a "blah" hair day with one of those fun and feathered headbands. Would you rule the roost in one of these fantastic finds?
One of our favorite young up-and-comers, Rad Hourani, previewed a smaller, more affordable collection last night at the Yard in Soho Grand. Of course, being the Rad fans we are, we had to pop by and check it out. Dubbed Rad by Rad Hourani, the simple palette of grays, blacks, and whites (Rad uses a very reductionist color scheme) played out brilliantly in 15 pieces of edgy goodness— slouchy draped jackets, blazers, and tops, as well as little shorts that we are already scheming up ways to buy. His popular super-slashed leather pants, on the other hand, get toned down a bit in a denim version, making it pretty brilliant for everyday wear. Best of all, the entire collection will retail between $100-$400, mostly thanks to the easy cotton and jersey construction. Long live Rad!

Here at R29, we sure do love our Aussie designers. One in particular that continues on our radar is Jade Sarita Arnott of Arnsdorf, who, in just two short years has transformed from a typical Australian fashion grad to a designer to watch. And her latest collection, aptly named And You Love, is definitely something to pine for. Focusing on "the idea of moving forward and the pursuit of considered danger," Arnott draws inspiration from the uniforms of ice-skaters and parachuters. Sheer panels and cut-out shapes in silk mesh, silk georgette, and sand-washed silks co-mingle with parachute strings woven through dresses in organic linen. "I'm quite conscious when designing about making a positive experience for the customer, from the feel of lining to an incredibly flattering cut."
With a string of impressive internships (including Norma Kamali and Proenza Schouler) and two collections already under her belt, designer Ellen Van Dusen is quickly making a name for herself in the fashion industry. Her budding label, Dusen Dusen, manages to make vintage fabrics look wonderfully fresh again, as her flattering cuts are rendered in dizzyingly bold printed dresses, skirts, and bags. The ever-striking patterns conjure up varied fun references, including everything from Native American textiles to '80s acid wash. Her latest collection is currently for sale at Duo, but we'll have to wait until spring '10 to see more. We'll hold our breath.
Having to wear sweaters is probably my least favorite part about winter: Lumpy and kind of boring, they've always reminded me of Christmas dinners with the 'rents. Well, mum and dad better prepare themselves for Timothy James Andrews' crazily conceptual line of knits, which include sweater dresses ballooning at the hips and shoulders, and knit bangles as big as your head. I would love to be the girl wearing that to holiday get-togethers, but in the meantime maybe I'll pick up that multi-colored, patchwork-y button-down instead: Undeniably awesome, without a hint of lump or frump.
