AIFW 2010: Quoc Thang
Jan. 29th 2010 by Lotte van den Acker (former author)
Quoc Thang launched his new collection: Ieder Einder 2 at the Amsterdam International Fashion Week catwalk yesterday.
Ieder Einder 2 is a sequel from Thang’s first collection (Ieder Einder, July, 2009). The men’s collection excist out of 25 clothingpieces and is inspired by skipper workgear from the end of the 19th century. The costumes from the filming of Dickens’ roman Oliver Twist were also a big inspiration for Thang. References to the skippers’ workgear are found in the tunicshirts and overcoats. The Oliver Twist touch returns in the black woollen trousers, the rough jacket and the handknitted vest.
The sober colours (grey, beige, black) connect perfectly with the story-telling character of the collection, just like the materials. Rough wools and baby-corduroy are combined with cotton and coarse knitwear.
