Camo S/S 2011 Lookbook

Here is the lookbook scan I promised from the Italian brand Camo who impressed the hell out of me at this year's (caspule) NY.  The S/S 2011 collection, dubbed the "Camo country collection" (if that wasn't obvious already), draws inspiration from the 1978 Portuguese film L’ Albero degli Zoccoli.  If you don't like the filtered vibe I apologize - that's how the pictures were shot.

(capsule) NY: Camo

One of the best things about doing the trade show circuit, at least as a enthusiast, is finding new brands who haven't blown up stateside yet.  Such was the case with Italian brand Camo.  Stefano Ughetti, Camo's designer, was extremely personable and excited to be showing his clothes to an American audience.  The construction and fabrics (many of which are sourced in Biella) were so well done as were the details, like buttoned flap hacking pockets on the pants.  There weren't many pleats and creases at (capsule) NY so it was refreshing to see a brand devoted to structure and super clean lines.  I'll be sure to scan the lookbook for you guys as soon as possible because to say this stuff was fresh would not be doing it justice.
