Late Post from NYFW.- Unconditional

The pictures I took from Unconditional spring 09 fashion show during New York fashion week have been lost in my computer till today, when i realized I never wrote about this event.

It took place right after United Bamboo's so that is why the pictures got lost; I focused on UB and forgot all the rest. Inexcusable mistake.

Bed Peace, the collection's name which takes inspiration from John Lennon and Yoko Ono's infamous 1969's "Bed In" peace protest, was shown at the Maritime Hotel in the Meat Packing District, one of those hotels that take your breathe off once you're in.

Up on the rooftop I stumbled upon a cocktail party with free cocktails, beautiful people, photographers and models wearing the collection, both male and females, mixed with the crowd as in a party. So this wasn't really a fashion show, it was more a presentation, and for that reason it was so special and surprising.

Philip Stephens, the head behind Unconditional, started this label in 2003.
His designs have been since characterized for the use of ethically produced (often organic) fabrics and sustainable dyes.

Bed Peace is definitely a very 60's collection for her, but for him was a bit different and was hard for me to realized this was a 'together' collection (male/female).

Both genres seemed from two totally different worlds; women came from Woodstock wearing sheer and loose dresses... men right from a Norwegian summer, with long sleeves cotton t-shirts, bear's ears crocheted hats and striped blue&white sailor tees...

Good to see some alternative brands. Maybe they already famous but I've never heard of them.

Room with the view looks fab with orchid.. that's somewhat unexpected. :)

tia pues que suerte! aunque seguro que cuando vuelvas y las tapas no te consuelen mucho mas lo vas a echar locamente de menos...una ciudad con tanto ritmo se vuelve adictiva!(que me lo digan a mi que soy de coruna!) jajaja
Oye! pues IED suena muy bien no? ya nos contaras como les ensenhas lo que no se puede ensenhar(soy de las que cree esto del arte y la moda no se debe aprender,solo su parte tecnica) me parece muy interesante y me encantaria que nos relataras algun dia de jorada laboral alli!
Por cierto,no te cruzaste con Pelayo en Unconditional? el tb estaba por alli(supongo que sacandole demasiadas fotos a los pivones que habia)jajaja

Que bonitas las fotos, muchas gracias!

Me gusto mucho tu ultimo post, sobre el slow bloguerismo. Y eso que soy de actualizar mucho. Pero es cierto que los contenidos se resienten, y sobre todo, las apreciaciones rápidas.

besos!
