'House of the Very Island' is a Vienna-based design cooperation consisting of Jakob Lena Knebl, Karin Krapfenbauer, Markus Hausleitner and Martin Sulzbacher. Their latest Autumn/Winter 2010/2011 collection is dubbed 'Go Wild in the Country' and channels an exquisite mix of rural, loose-fitting slacks and a more city-boy touch with Oliver Twist tweeds and blazers.
Dark and earthy colors emphasize the brand's commitment to environmental sustainability as well as the effortless anti-fashion looks.
Implications - These looks are a refreshing change from the sometimes reptitive looks of Vogue and InStyle, and showcase a different side of fashion that is catered towards comfort and simplicity without compromising style.
