Won Hundred Ways of Dressing Chic.

April 21, 2009

When doling out €659 for this here laptop a year ago I hadn’t expected it to be so dismally dissatisfactory compared to desktop I’d grown up with. Among a sizeable list of things it simply isn’t built to do is load elaborate designer flash-sites at a fast enough speed for my perpetually impatient self. Alas, I’m thinking Won Hundred was worth the wait.

What with the sun finally making an appearance on this generally desultory weather-afflicted Isle, the footage of a pair strolling through green fields to be enjoyed on Won Hundred’s homepage is more than heart-warming (note, too, their imagebooks have won awards for their art-direction – not surprising really). As for the clothes, well they’re suitably laid-back and inarguably the most fitting things for embracing the lazy Summer haze.

In true Scandinavian sartorial-style it’s the simplest colourway that’s opted for here with shades of pale sandstone, whites and off-whites and a whole manner of blues regarding the denim. While the easy tailoring of the SS09 men’s pieces is attractive it’s some womenswear garments that I’m desiring the most, namely this slate-grey, oversized and draped, sleeveless blazer and the steely cowl-neck silk jacket.
