JEREMY LAING

fall/winter 2009


after seeing these images
i had to look further

i especially love the tie-dye-esque prints
& the seamed leggings
& his unique cutting and construction method
of which is mainly self-taught &

"combines organic and geometric approaches to pattern making and construction. . ."

"in Jeremy's view, garments are a sum of parts, all functioning in relation to one another and, ultimately, to the body. his collections often stem from his elaborations on simple principles of construction and form, drawing simultaneously from couture and tailoring traditions."

GEMMA REDUX


i'm in L O V E !

i imagine wearing these with a menswear-inspired ensemble :
- slim-fitting jacket with a constructed shoulder
- simple tank or drapey T
- pleated trousers with a slim leg or skinny jeans
- & of course, amazing footwear
(i couldn't find a photo of what i was envisioning !)
-------------------------------------OK, similar to this, but with 1 of the shirts mentioned above


+ i'm finishing up some market bags in new colors
- & am hoping to get started on new items,
- which includes giving my sewing machine a work-out
- (my mind has been all over the place with job hunting & other stressful things,
- & it's been very hard to focus !)
