Ksubi S/S 09-10 "Familiar Strangers" Womanswear
26/03/2009

This coming summer Ksubi brings us "Familiar Strangers", a collection whom has returned to the core of Ksubi's initial thoughts, ideas, knowledge and experience that Ksubi once had. Along with the same fresh raw spirit of producing 'youthful and alive' pieces combined with premium high end fabrics and modern shapes, Ksubi brings us a edgy new collection.

Known for their denim, this collection Ksubi uses a range of methods to produce a range of denim finishes. This season the denims are heavily treated, thrashed, with whiskers, hand sanded and stonewashed. Aspects of DIY feature and include the USA jean and the Patch jeans.

Three knew styles were added to the woman's range this season. The 'Bikette' jean is a stretch jean, which was designed with direct inspiration from the motorbike pant panelling with added panelled and curves. The 'Stirrup' jean is a mid-rise jean with no side seam. The fit is super slim with Achilles zips and stirrups. The final new style is the 'Bowie' jean, which is made in the classic Ksubi spray-on fit but with panelling so that the jean is wearable in leather.

The new collection is not jeans; Ksubi continues to create tees, singlet’s, dresses and skirts. Pieces are printed with designs which give a 'hand scrawled' or 'cut and paste' punk look.
