Following on with what seems to have become a series of exquisite lookbooks to appreciate for hours on end, comes this from Rochambeau featuring their equally commendable Fw09 collection. Egyptian for rock-paper-scissors (so perfectly referenced in their textured, Papyrus-esque lookbook images), Rochambeau originated when Michael Venker, Joshua Cooper and Laurence Chandler banded together following a chance meeting at the Parsons senior thesis show 2007.
What resulted was most fruitful indeed. For AW09 season they've fashioned many loose yet somewhat - and pleasingly so - fitted jersey separates in a soft black (if that makes any sense in the slightest...) and bright, bright white to lighten Wintry moods. What strikes me most is their v. wondrous draping - scarves that emerge from tshirt-necklines, soft cotton braces that stem from the sides etc. Kudos, too, for the abundance of impressive hoods and that deconstructed blazer (v. becoming from the back).
Find them at Oak, and Elsworth.
