Gather up the band and let’s get ready for the pep rally. Wings + Horns are prepared to launch their Fall/Winter 2009 collection.
The Japanese/Canadian design team out of Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada) is hitting the market hard with cotton/cashmere crews, beanies, scarves, diamond knit henleys, and wool hand-knit hoodies.
They are definitely working off of the high school/college years motif that brings a youth on the brink of adulthood kind of look (I don’t mean 12-year-old young).
The accent on the blue and gray hues really makes this a cool line coming in the winter. Scope out all of Wings + Horns Fall/Winter 2009 collection above.
