Martin Grant’s spring 2007 collection
Posted: 10/11/06
Last week Martin Grant showed his spring 2007 collection in Paris. The Australian-born designer is known for his almost sculptural silhouettes and combination of French charm and ellegance. His feminine and functional clothes comes in neutral colors and are always of high quality.
His new collection is injected with a sportif element. This was translated into tennis dresses, sporty silhouettes and materials and lovely details. This sleeveless tennis dress is a great exemple of Martin Grant’s vision for the spring of 2007: sexy, sporty women dressed in French chic. This collection containes timeless pieces every women should have in her closet: trenches, little black dresses, jumpsuits, …
I like Martin Grant’s collections. He started off designing for a rather small, select audience, but now you can find his collection in all big cities all over the world. I bought a beatiful cashemire coat last year and I must say it was one of my best purchases I made that year. On Martin Grant’s website you can review his last five collections and read more about him, his designs and the distribution points of his clothes.
I like his collection too. Another designer I like with a new line is Isa Saalabi. IIt’s the Nom de Guerre Fall/Winter 2006 collection
Nom de Guerre is a creative collective founded by Holly Harnsongkram, Wil Whitney, Devon Turnbull, and Isa Saalabi. The concept of the collective is to combine basic and diverse influences from art, fashion, and various New York subcultures to create a composite culture and product.

I checked out the store’s web site that mentioned Isa Saalabi & Holly Harnsongkram, then I read an interview by Holly Harnsongkram in NY Times mag… pretty interesting culture brewing in their boutique with the art and music, etc… what a cool idea! I really dig the black jacket by the way.
