Girl by Band of Outsiders' Spring 2011 collection made the down-to-earth and simple seem otherworldly. The fabrics were light and airy, the nature-inspired prints barely there in shades of pale green and brown, and when draped in a style slightly Grecian, evoked the mood of a kind of Atlantis. It all reminded me a bit of this clip from O Brother Where Art Thou. The water, the trees, using that nature environment to get somewhere kind of spiritual and immortal...
This being Band of Outsiders' first Girl collection, and having to strongly differentiate it from Boy and Man, Scott Sternberg was aiming for the ultra-feminine. He left behind the pink and frills often associated with girliness and went for a very stripped-down and bare version. Also, Girl? Man? Boy? I am now waiting for Pet and Grandma and Second Cousin's Hairdresser's Roommate's Niece's Cat's Original Owner.

So ethereal and pretty and misty. Seeing that the brand could go in a direction opposite of preppy was the most exciting to me, but the women's clothing for Boy were also great. Perfect summer camp vibes. The shoes! Someone somewhere on eBay has to have a really weird club kid version of Teva sandals, right?
love the white pieces, and that dress in the last picture. ooh la la.
ReplyDeleteI want those white pantaloonies!
ReplyDeleteI'm digging the last pair of sandals.
ReplyDelete-melissa
very cute outfits:)
ReplyDeleteOooh, so nice!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, what a mood!
ReplyDeleteIt's like the perfect combination of girl goddess, old-timey underwear, not-so-virginal vestal virgins, and angel girl. Have you read Girl Goddess by Francesca Lia Block? Also reminds me of that.
ReplyDeleteWow, the first garments look so delicate, airy and free. Now the second batch just looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteWow, the designs are impressive. The first picture is almost angelic with the lighting. My favorite is actually the shorts. They are so delicate, and would be perfect for an underwater editorial. Thanks for sharing the photos.

I will be sorely disappointed if these models (especially those in the photo right below the embedded video) don't have "trip <3" written on their underwear.
ReplyDeletei love the collection! i'd wear every single piece!

Hi Tavi - I hadn't heard of this label, what a wonderful collection (and it really is like the scene from BWAT).
ReplyDeleteThought you might be interested to know that the company behind Teva sandals also manufacture Ugg Australia brand ugg boots. As a business I think their behaviour is pretty unethical, I did some research and wrote about it on my blog here in case you are interested:

ReplyDeletegreat materials and looks, but what about the shoulder bones of the skinny girl on the second picture? :/ it makes me sad, I have a friend who drove through hell in order to look like a model.
ReplyDeleteI like pink-black-grey sweater. Good collection.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. i love how a lot of things are sheer, but then there are block colours/patterns as well x
ReplyDeletewow oh wow this collection is simply to die for!
ReplyDeleteI love those bloomers and the rare beauty of the garments themselves
they did an outstanding job!
Loving this simplicity here. That dress and those shorts are absolutely perfect xxx

ReplyDeletelove the creamy whites for spring! i think it looks fresh!
ReplyDeletei want more of these shoes!!!

The white pieces are so simple, but I see a divinity quality to them, as well (sort of like what I imagine the sirens to wear - like the women in the water in O Brother). The one-shoulder dress is beautiful. Though it looks a bit sheer; it probably wouldn't be good fit for the workplace.

Oooo great for spring. And I love the reference to O Brother Where Art Thou :]
ReplyDeleteI have a cream slip dress that's a lot like the dress on the model in the middle of the first pic. Hmm..I haven't worn it in a while :p

ReplyDeletethis really reminds me of the siren song in O Brother Where Art Thou as well. the ferns and misty light and wispy clothing...

Very virginesque and innocent, love it. Apart from the models, they are as skinny as hell! I'd like to feed them 3 big macs and see them not throw up.

I usually don't fret about thin models but the shoulder of the girl in the off-the-shoulder dress is very troubling. With the concern in the industry why would that be the shoulder they want to highlight!? So very thin and IMO not attractive.
ReplyDeleteReally really gorgeous collection. I love how dreamy and fairy like it is.
ReplyDeletei love the band of outsiders one shoulder tops and the last set op pics. at first i didnt get the o brother where art thou collection but then i remembered that scene!
ReplyDeletethe dresses are beautiful but my favorite looks were the ones with quirky pops of color.
ReplyDeletehttp://watermelonfeet.blogspot.com
the sandals--too good.
ReplyDeleteI love the collection, the sheer looks are a great, now I wish it was spring :)
ReplyDeleteGreat collection but the models seems like a stick to me. They need to eat more. Don´t you think?
ReplyDeleteinspiring collection
ReplyDeleteI think this collection is what happened when the lisbon sisters came back from the dead at the party in the end scenes with the glitter gas masks. Heart the asymmetry and play with different delicate cloths.
ReplyDeletei'm obsessing over those bloomers !!!
ReplyDeletei have been working on my own bloomers design for a couple months, haven't gotten it this perfect yet. love.

ReplyDeleteThe flat platform sandals are such a nice mix up!

It's hard to focus on the clothes when all I can think of is making all those girls some sandwiches! This shot http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5247/5345317942_4ddaec6088_b.jpg especially makes me want to bust out he peanut butter and jelly.
ReplyDeleteNote: this is not a reflection on you, Tavi, but the people who choose super duper young models with all their bones showing. I realize that some girls just like some boys go through crazy metabolism spurts and look like that normally, but it being on "film" and in fashion worries me that it is giving the wrong impression about ideal body types.
Now go clean your room!

i love the patch work on that one dress next to the shorts!

ReplyDeleteI adore some of your postings, but I am a bit baffled with your style. I don't quite understand why Prada sends a quirky little girl samples of their line??? I'm not getting it??? Your style seems that of a child that maybe wears a lot of hand me downs? It's not an attractive style or anything that someone would want to take inspiration from, in my opinion of course.
ReplyDeletenot my cup of tea. the models look like priestesses waiting for the whip, or like "actresses" from one of David Hamilton's movies. if they were aiming for some sort of soft focus lens erotic they kinda slathered, i think.
