Orri Henrisson for Spring 2012: Things I Love

Australian brand Orri Henrisson has been on my radar for a while. Doing very wearable and approachable menswear, with a colorful and inventive twist, their collection for Spring/Summer 2012 delivers on the same.

I really like the colored patches infused in shirts, jackets, and pants -- adding some great blocking and contrast to the pieces. I am also really into the leather patches on pants, giving it an equestrian feel. And in my favorite look below, the nubby dark pants (in what looks like a moleskine?) with the red contrast zippers...

Just a few of the looks, but makes me want to get on a plane to Australia and see it all in person. Check out Coute que Coute for more photos, and the Orri Henrisson site for stockist information.

Vanishing Elephant S/S '11 Collection: Things I Love

Since I discovered Australian label Vanishing Elephant, on a recent trip to Sydney, I've been keeping watch of their work. I love the pieces I bought, and definitely want to get some more.

They've just released a lookbook for F/W '11 (which would be Australia's S/S '11) that has a lot of great looks! First to catch my eye was the brocade dinner jacket -- which I could easily pair with existing pieces from my closet for a great vintage and dressed up look.

I also really like that they're not afraid of pattern or color, or the mixing of these. The tailored suiting, or the red polka dot shorts are just a few more pieces that I was drawn to from the collection.
