Doesn’t a triangle feel like the most sensical shape in the world when you used to put your two thumbs and index fingers together to make a triangle as a child? Is it weird to feel an affinity with a shape? Ok, just me then who has a penchant for cutting up toast into four triangles and eating them ever so slowly. Still, even for people with non-triangle fetishes can appreciate this AW08-9 collection by White Trumpet which is the label’s second yet. Reno Inchenko has gone made for triangles but hasn’t forgotten that he’s supposed to be creating superb clothes too. It’s a cohesive collection that ranges from using the triangle subtly to all an all-out triangle assault on the eye and all the while contrasting delicate and heavier fabrics
Well, triangle-laden collection mission accomplished and he’s now also bagged Opening Ceremony as White Trumpet’s first stockist. Yay for joining up three points on a sheet of paper!
superb
interesting, reminds me of origami.
Love, love, love that first black dress. The trousers are a teeny bit too science-fiction, in a bad Mad Max 3 way rather than in a cool Dune (the novel not the movie) way!
It’s indeed a bit origami. I love the dresses and the slouchy t-shirt. And those pants are wicked!
i adore the first two.
Loving it all. I am partial to a triangle myself I must say.
Love this collection, especially the last two designs!
On the contrary though, making a triangle with my fingers and thumbs reminds me of a bad memory from childhood – when I accidently knocked a triangular glass vase over in a shop and it smashed on the floor, so I ran away to find my mum and explained to her what had happened, using my fingers to explain the the shape of the vase!
Sorry for the long comment, but your description brought all of this back haha!
who could think the simple replication of a single shape could look so sharp? it boggles my simple mind. The trouser, oh the trousers!
Holy Awesome! Beautiful silhouettes!
Do you like toblerones?
My favourite is the middle picture of the short dress. Trying to work out if the triangles are pockets or not. It’d be brilliant if they were.
those triangles on the trousers, wow! the designers you post about can blow my mind, i could never fathom how you would ever create those clothes!
I used to think my grandma was the most brilliant seamstress but… Wow, this looks incredibly complicated. I love the mix of fabrics on the very first dress.
ooh…these are actually quite pretty! I really love those pants 🙂
actually…now that I think about it, I always said that the triangle was my favorite shape! haha..childhood memories…
Best use of triangles since the bikini. I love those trousers.
Very intricate designs. I love the first two dresses, they look so delicate and feminine and still edgy and sexy. Great find!

i think they’re very architectural, very building-like. and the choice of fabric looks great with all the folds!
Would really like to wear the first 2 dresses and the last black dress myself. And it’d be interesting to see those pants in real life, would like to see if they ‘worked’ in an outfit.
Hi Susie!
I found your blog by style bytes (….I really hope Agathe is ok)
and I like your outfit, style, shot….you are doing really good
research on fashion.
Congratulations!
those pants are amazing! they look like origami mutton chops!
Mmmmm… I like! I’d like to wear a couple of the shirts myself…
Love the pants. Several months ago I would have said that they wouldn't work on my heavy thighs, but I'd be willing to give it a try now. No sense in hiding the shape of me.
am I the only one who is rather reminded of georgia o’keefe’s ladyparts-esque flowers? the first one especially
I ran away to find my mum and explained to her what had happened, using my fingers to explain the the shape of the vase!
Wow! What an eclectic mix of Flash websites! I have to agree with others about the issue of SEO marketing with Flash, but you have to admit, these are very clever websites! Plus, it’s fun to do something different. Flash is different and engaging, and you can’t get these types of websites with HTML. Thanks for sharing!
