Breath of Fresh Air – Rochambeau Fall ‘09 Collection
Meaning the popular game Rock-Paper-Scissors in Egyptian, Rochambeau maybe fairly new to the clothing game but don’t let that fool you, their Spring ‘09 line (their first) has already had heads turning with their strong geist of art in their aesthetic. This can also be seen in their look books, their Spring ‘09 look book has already received accolades from the Shinmai competition in Japan.
Below you can check out their latest offering from their Fall ‘09 Collection which hit stores last week at OAK NYC, Elsworth Minneapolis & Platinum in Philly.
‘Fall and winter requires shielding and protection from the elements and utilizing materials such as tropical wool, cotton plaid, and hand brushed flannel, Rochambeau has created it’s own chic and sophisticated exoskeleton for the modern man.’ – Rochambeau
With that said you can definitely tell the guys over at Rochambeau have a bonding over shared love of design and, in particular, their similar vision for men’s fashion. Definitely one to watch out for!

Breath of Fresh Air – Uniforms for the Dedicated
You may have seen Moses use the Breath of Fresh Air tagline in the recent post for Smudge the Bear, well we at Stylenerds liked it so much that were now adopting it for a new section of ours. Breath of Fresh Air will be targeting upcoming & emerging brands and also brands that may have already been established that we think should be on your radar.
With that said, let me introduce you to Uniforms of the Dedicated…
Hailing from Norway the label serves as a platform for musicians, illustrators, designers, and more, who continuously are invited to contribute with their innovations. Together with the core group they become a natural part of an expanding network. At this point in the process, 12-15 people are in some way involved in music, fashion or arts. Four core members work full time and these are the people who were behind the shaping of the concept and starting up the company/collective.
There Fall/Winter ‘09 Collection ‘A Play of Nonsense’, comes from the ‘imaginary/nonsense literature of the 19-century and its front man Lewis Carroll – a true master of transforming everyday objects into a new and challenging meaning. Airborne guinea pigs and cube-like characters reflect the spirit of Uniforms for the Dedicated; classic wearable clothing that have fallen down the rabbit hole before climbing up in a new fashion.’
Check out the rest of the Fall/Winter ‘09 collection below, and if you want to get your hands on Uniforms for the Dedicated, you can head on over to Son of Stag (on Dray Walk which is off Brick Lane, opposite Big Chill Bar!!!) or 111Vox.com.
