A beautiful sweater by Larsen featured in a recent editorial published by the Spanish mag. 
I took them from the designer's blog, but the complete set is at the magazine's blog. 

Besides the magnificent, multi-textured jersey, Aaron is wearing pants by Osterman, Boots from Dr. Martens, and is being silenced by a choke by Atkinson (also a designer's piece!)

Knitting punk



Photography Bruna Kazinoti
Styling John Colvers

"There is nothing masculine about being reserved, if anything it is the singularly most emasculating thing I can think of. Menswear needs to be dazzling again, I think that is what we should strive for", says Royal College of Art graduate Kim Choong-Wilkins.

The 26-year-old designer is well known for his men's knitwork in "hard and glistening (fabrics), with aggressively distinctive shapes, nothing nice or polite", which include sharp or jutting elements or broad protruding shoulders which, one could claim, have certain punk or gothic undertones.

Here he has chosen to combine one of such cactus-sleeved, "turtle-neck" jumpers with a nice black leather skirt.
From his "Bodybound" collection.
I've already posted other pics from that runway:

A complete interview with Choong-Wilkins was published by Dazed Digital Magazine:

Kritjánsson: colors from Iceland


27 year old designer Boas Kritjánsson, trained at the Icelandic Academy of the Arts and at the Aashion Academy of Antwerp, set up his own label in 2008. He will be presenting 8045, his very first collection for spring 2010.

Light, somewhat naive, these wonderful knitwear pieces in pastel colors where ispired by "the light and colours in Iceland, [which] have a vastness due to all the open space that is easy to observe", says the artist. "The low sun and the simple flora also make for very long gradients. This means that there aren’t really outstanding colours, they are all part of a system"

The garments are built in blocks, each one from a single cotton thread, joined together in the knit, leaving no seams.

The photographer is Damien Blottière.
