Duckie Brown SS 11

Its really refreshing to see a design team like Daniel Silver and Steven Cox bring some pizazz  into a normally repetitive NYFW. Season after season the guys at Duckie Brown never fail to impress, with there bold use of prints and color constantly bringing something new and fun into the sea of blank faces and the almost cloned suites that is the majority of NYFW.  Not only that but they are definitely not a one trick pony either always adding some more minimal/conservative pieces into each collection this season that came in the form of greatly cut suits and jackets.


OK this season at Duckie Brown was madness per usual, plaids, beetles, leopard print basically any print you could ever want, I feel like a kid in a fashionably candy store that only sells amazingly crazy printed clothing. I mean seriously those beetle printed button ups, I literally died. Another piece to ad the collection of "my life will be an empty void without"...Anyways some seriously great layering pieces as well this season ranging from sheers, to asymmetrically buttoned cardigans to cropped buttons ups.


I'm all for a great pair of sweats and I'm also all for a drop crotch, so when the two meet I'm all kinds of excited. AND THE CARDIGANS omg seriously I cant get enough. The asymmetrical cuts that when unbuttoned I'm guessing will do some great draping. BTW pants I did not forget about you. This is the exact cut I tend to go for in a cropped pant, relaxed but not to baggy, straight legged but not overly tight, and once again the prints especially with that blue and white pair, they looked like they had been water colored or something...Not to mention hounds tooth pair, *drool*.   I think this has replaced FW 07 as my favorite Duckie Brown collection.
