Founded in 1976 by Christian Restoin (hubby of editrix Carine Roitfeld), the line was shuttered in 1998 when Restoin decided to step aside to support Roitfeld in her new role as fashion arbiter of French Vogue. Now thanks to pal Serge Azria (brother of Max and creative director of Current/Elliott and Joie), Equipment is bringing back its signature silk menswear shirts with two patch pockets and with Restoin as a creative consultant naturally. Fun factoid: Restoin met the French Voguette when she called in some Equipment shirts for a fashion shoot she was styling.

Following a seven-year stint in Dubai as shoemaker to the wives and daughters of local Sheikhs, she set course for London in pursuit of a masters degree during which time her eponymous label took form. Now the globetrotting designer who splits her time between three continents is known for her signature razor edge soles. Her hard hitting spring collection includes stiletto sandals with an asymmetric ankle cuff and a pair of peep toe mules all complete with spiky soles, natch.

Style must run in the family as Murjani’s father is a noted retail magnate who has brought outposts for Jimmy Choo, Gucci, and La Perla to India. New to Intermix, Murjani’s hardware embellished hobo is turning heads for its ability to be muted whilst covered in a golden mesh metal. The camel colored bag is covered entirely on one side and just along the tops of its handles on the other side with the fine mesh.

For that tapered fit, the jeans are heavily seamed (we’re talking four vertical seams down the front, back, and both sides!) and sculpted at the knees with a diagonal inset that emphasizes its combat-ready look. Of course the requisite cargo pockets still remain however they are positioned higher and at the thighs. Expect a short-term wait as these jeans are on their way to our warehouse after a slight snow day delay so preorder now.

The project crunching sisters (the two are weeks away from their inaugural fashion week presentation and just launched junior label Olsenboye) are venturing into casualwear with a 3-piece denim collection which is slated to hit Intermix next month. Named after ‘70s music icons, the Textile line includes the Hendrix bell bottoms, the cropped Joni, and the dark patchwork Stevie jeans. A fun little tidbit is that all three pairs are inspired by actual jeans hanging in the duo’s closets with the Stevie hailing all the way from their high school days. We don’t know about you but anything that can survive the rocky transition from teenage adolescence to fresh-faced twentysomething deserves a permanent slot in our wardrobe rotation. While we count down the days till the jeans arrives, check out some other looks from the label and keep checking back. ]]> http://WWW.unzippedintermix.com/2010/02/sisterhood_of_the_traveling_pa.html http://WWW.unzippedintermix.com/2010/02/sisterhood_of_the_traveling_pa.html Lust Of The Day Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:33:28 -0500 German-born, London-based designer Markus Lupfer makes waves this season with a nautical collection that takes UES-approved stripes and reworks them with a decidedly LES sensibility. All it required was haphazardly tossed crystals, a load of sequins, and some ravaged black mesh trim. Take for instance a simple Breton striped cardigan that goes from AM to PM appropriate with the addition of a heavy cluster of pearlized; or a marinière-inspired long sleeved frock toughened up with tattered mesh and shoulder pads. With the nautical look already making headway this season, make sure to snap up these striped finds which are making their American debut at Intermix.
