IDEEEN

Junko Hirata and Atsuko Yanase are the designers behind New York label Ideeen. Ideeen blends a certain intellectual, Japanese aesthetic with a New York goth/streetwear vibe. The designers met while working at Catherine Malandrino and launched their own line in 2007.

AW/2009 is Ideen‘s fourth season and featured an edgy downtown mix of knit-and-fur combos. They offer an interesting variation of proportions to create a modern silhouette. Ideeen also will contrast fabrication and color to move away from the typical monochromatic color palette.

Ideeen is a moderate/high price point designer label in the same price range/genre as for example: [Helmut Lang, Alexander Wang]

The pieces on this model really feature the texture and contrast of Ideeens’ current AW/09 collection by incorporating interesting loose knits with fur-like textures on the sweater; the color is also very amiable and has an unusual edge to it. The skirt is layered with a mixture of faux fur and assorted fabrics to create weight and movement.
