Here we have a look at J.Lindeberg‘s Spring/Summer 2013 collection presented during New York Fashion Week. The label really aims to take it back to their Scandinavian roots and the “Swedish from above” theme for the season is spot on with the delivery. The offerings range from fine suiting in shades of blue and beige to nylon and leather outerwear layered effortlessly in the styled shots. S/S ’13 is also the first time the women’s line was showcased in North America and as the Swedish brand has really made some great strides over the years, the timing is just right.
Earlier today, New York-based Public School presented their S/S ’13 collection during an eventful Sunday at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week here in NYC. The inspiration behind their latest lineup is “structure” as they looked to classic architectural forms to help frame the collection both historically and figuratively.
We examined the concept of “structure” and how it exists contextually within society.We were very interested how a delicate balance and network of relationships helped to form structure and provide a base in which all law and order was supported.
