We Love Helmut Lang

As one of our most recent additions, we thought we’d give a nod to Helmut Lang, one of the most inspiring brands of our generation.

Helmut Lang, as initiated by the Austrian-born designer and constulted by British stylist Melanie Ward, maintains its position as the ultimate symbol of modernism in fashion. Re-defining minimalism, Lang and Ward continue to reign as the best duo in the biz.

We’re excited to carry his name. Both Helmut Lang’s Pre-Fall collection and diffusion line Helmut have just arived in our stores! Have a peek online or pop in to either Feathers Knightsbridge or Feathers Notting Hill to get a taste of the brand’s extended classics. We’re mad for the pale green Drape Dress ;)

Also do check out Interview Magazine’s fantastic interview with Melanie Ward conducted some years ago by Calvin Klein – another key Minimalist. Full text available online. Isn’t the internet wonderful?

British Talents

Here at Feathers we are celebrating the best of the BRITS… between the Chelsea Flower Show and The Cannes Festival, British talent has been showcased and rewarded.

Firstly, the winners of the Chelsea Flower Show have been announced, with Brewin Dolphin winning best show garden designed by Cleve West and the Digitalis ‘Illumination Pink’ proclaimed show plant of  the year. West planted red, white and blue flowers in order to celebrate the Queen’s diamond jubilee. To know more read his interview for BBC, click here

Sci Fi at Feathers

After a few back-to-back sales of Terra‘s sheer raincoats, our lovely Martin – Feathers’ most recent addition – made an interesting comment: he’d begun to imagine each of the women exiting the shop in their new garments as if straight out of Blade Runner…

Not so far-fetched.

 

In similar spirit, Gareth Pugh’s Sci-Fi dresses take us one step closer to Ridley Scott and the genre ;)

Thank god for Tilda Swinton. She’s our favourite Cannes star, always supporting our favourite Columbian-born, Belgian-based designer. This year she looks ultra chic and we love her three-time outfit change!

Check out our Spring/Summer Haider Ackermann currently in our Knightsbridge branch and online.

Reminiscing Yohji Yamamoto

While our current season Yohji Yamamoto is a wonder of it’s own, there’s something magic about his 80’s collections. Re-watching past runways make us ever so proud to be a stockist.

Thanks to A Magazine Curated By for sharing this ;)

Cannes 2012

Cannes 2012 has officially begun.

Good films, good fashion.

Feathers loves Cannes.

While we may not be soaking up the sun in the South of France, we’re looking forward to viewing the official selection, particularly Wes Anderson’s feature Moonlight Kingdom and Walter Salles interpretation of Jack Kerouac’s On The Road.

Stay tuned for Fashion updates ;)

Feathers loves Kusama

Yayoi Kusama Untitled, 1966.

If you haven’t already checked it out, we recommend you visit the Tate’s current retrospective of Yayoi Kusama as it’s in the home stretch…

A few of us head down over the weekend – we know, we’ve been quite slow to get over there ourselves – and we highly recommend it. Better late than never.

Chronologically, the show lays out the Japanese artist’s large, multi-media body of work.

Yayoi Kusama Walking Piece, 1968.

Beginning with her early works on paper to her Feminist performative experimentation in a 1960’s America to her later immersive spaces, installations and most recent paintings, the display is well organised, categorised and justified.

We really love Kusama’s New York period, particularly her 1966 photographic work ‘Walking Piece’ and the artist’s 1968 ‘Self Obliteration’ experiemental film and coresponding photographs and collage works on paper. Watch Parts 1 & 2.
