Initial reaction:
Williamsburg via Japan: the sloping shoulders of padded kimono-cut coats took us east, whilst brushed plaid, ankle grazing chinos and brogues came lifted from the Brooklyn neighbourhood’s resident hipsters.
A Basquiat palette:
“I really love how [Jean-Michel Basquiat] mixed colour,” Iceberg creative director Federico Curradi revealed of his key collection inspirations. “Colour from the city, colour from nature. I tried to do the same with the yarns.” The Brooklyn-born artist’s influence was evident in the earthy brown, moss and navy clashed with acidic yellow and vermillion in the plaid, stripe and zig-zag felted knits.
Surface play:
Camel, cashmere and mohair yarns, felted and brushed together, lent the collection a distinctly homespun feel, the fuzzy textures irresistible to touch.
Check out Iceberg’s newly released SS15 campaign, featuring Kim Gordon, Mykki Blanco, and even a couple of Dazed contributors.
