////// The door in my wardrobe*

// Osklen detected

From Scandinavia to Brazil!

I recently found out a brand that made me very curious. It is “Brazilian Moncler”, Osklen. Leading man behind the brand is former doctor and mountain climber Oskar Metsavaht, who has no formal fashion education. (I have to say that his name makes me think more Estonia than Brazil.) Like at Moncler, Osklen’s roots are also in sportswear. That might sound boring… …but in the best cases this promotes wearability without compromising the design. And it looks like Osklen achieves exactly that.

The summer 2010 collection is pretty awesome, I’m especially drawn to diaphanous layers that make a weird optical illusion, I feel a strong urge to grab those dinosaur shaped 3D glasses with red and blue lens and see how these would look through them… …the multicolored, layered garments are amazingly rich and serene at the same time, and I also enjoy Oskar’s unusual take on lace. I’ll bet that I would find bagfuls of wearable separates from Osklen, but I’m also afraid that these are priced like Moncler…

The current winter collection is worth a look, too. There is such an effortless take on draping jersey, that my eyes feel soothed after looking it through.
