Cooperative Designs may be a sound partnership between Annalisa Dunn and Dorothee Hagemann but they certainly don’t just come up with ideas that are ‘sound’…. in the way that the word is used to mean reliable, solid and responsible…. their SS09 show which I sadly missed but later saw in the showroom is stripes, patterns, colour, textures all going on in a way that makes me want to copy their styling EXACTLY how they did it on the runway which in itself is a bit of a no-no in my book but only because when I look at the pieces individually, I feel like they need that top to toe context to make them look truly awesome. Except for the leggings of course. As predicted, Annalisa and Dorothee guessed that I would dig the neon square printed leggings but they didn’t tell me they had suspender/cut-outs going on too. Much like my Patrik Rzepski chaps which I still stand by… I’m making these Cooperative Designs chaps the spring summer lite version.
I love the zipper pull on that cropped jacket!
These stripes are fun and inspiring. I can definitely see why you like these looks. Imagine the layering fun you could have.
Those clothes would make me so happy on a dreary day!
Every one of those pieces I would love to see in my closet. Especially those cutout leggings, ooh I wanna make some like that now! I feel bad when I make something so similar to an original design though… maybe I’ll give it a little twist and then won’t feel so quilty…
