NYFW S/S 2012: Suno

Normally showcasing bold colors and prints, the designers behind Suno eschewed color in exchange for something a bit more reserved than usual. There's still reds and yellows appearing, but it's an interesting turn for the label. Granted, the print combinations are still present, adding a dose of quirkiness.



The silhouettes become noticeably more feminine. Perhaps this collection is simply more wearable, head to toe.



Different can be a good thing, but in this case, it's merely not a bad thing.

F/W 2011: Suno

I've posted about Suno before here, but this label has been the darling of New York Fashion Week since it's presentation last Saturday. More ladylike than previous collections, the designers at Suno still prove themselves masters at mixing prints. Literally. And I'm a little amused to see yet more pattern mixing/matching with clothing and footwear... a new take on seasons-long unexpected print combinations, perhaps. Either way, I'm just as smitten as everyone else.

Lookbook: Suno F/W 2010

As summer (really) dwindles away, I've been outfitted in lackluster outfits... the chill in the air has led me to actually put on pants when I leave my house around 8pm. I've accepted the possibility that autumn might be on its way (read: I'm still in denial), so I figured absorbing a bit of inspiration wouldn't be harmful. In comes Suno, the label started by Max Osterweis in 2008.



Can we just agree that these Kenyan-crafted garments are wonderful? The prints? The colors? The silhouettes... Yes? Okay then.

So as I end my summer (hopefully on a good note), enjoy this and expect an outfit post soon.
