FALL 2009 (LIBERTINE) From Hartig

February 19, 2009

I saw this event today in the late afternoon from dailymotion, Johnson Hartig and Cindy Greene are the creaters of (LIBERTINE). At the presentation in their New York showroom, Still, something has clearly changed in their world. From the red-coated Queen's Guards on the door, to the Civil War ensemble who tooted on flutes, to the clothes themselves, which mashed together Rasputin, Queen Elizabeth II , and the undead partygoers from The Shining, the presentation was Good.

They looked military on a long gray coat, schoolboy on a blazer, but a closer look revealed unusual motifs: a duck, a deer, a dick. The faces of Rasputin and QEII were overprinted on everything from T-shirts to cut-offs. Huge hand-knit roses ruffled the front of a velvet jacket. The collection is connected to the florid sensibility of this collection. And the over all it was great.
