Here’s a full look at the forthcoming J.Lindeberg collection for Autumn/Winter 2009. There is a magic word in the inspiration for this collection and it is Serge Gainsbourg. My discovery of the man and his music came from an old Parisan friend. Though I may not have understood a damn thing he was saying (I do not partake in French), his ability to capture listeners through sound is like none other. “Inspiration for J.Lindeberg’s AW09 collection came from a combination of Serge Gainsbourg, and Yves Klein.  It’s about quintessential French masculinity and an approach to life when you don’t save your best for special occasions but celebrate them every day.”

The L.A. Times puts their “Style Profile” on the Lindeberg’s this week. “The Lindebergs are new to Los Angeles, though they’ve been fixtures at the Chateau Marmont whenever they’ve visited from New York. They finally moved here full time in late December as creative directors for William Rast, the L.A.-based denim line launched in 2005 by Justin Timberlake and his childhood friend Trace Ayala.”

J. Lindeberg previews their forthcoming Ski Collection by showcasing select windstoppers, jackets, and accessories. The Ski Collection, which is expected to hit J. Lindeberg Flagship Stores and select limited number of retailers worldwide, was conceived by J. Lindeberg’s CEO Stefan Engstrom and former North Face design director, Fredrik Dhal, who is now head of J. Lindeberg Ski. Expect high end materials running the gamut from Swiss RIRI zippers, Dermizax stormproof fabrics, and much more.

J. Lindeberg is one of those brands that we always had mixed feelings about. If you ever have the time, make sure to research the designers history and involvement with the success of Diesel, it is very interesting. 

A couple of years ago one started seeing these J.Lindeberg belts with big buckles and not necessarily stylish people (and a lot of people) were wearing them at the time and that sort of left a strange after taste. Also we did not really enjoy their Puma collaboration that appeared in the Puma Black stores.

Today we came across their new Fall 2008 Golf Accessories and we have to admit that we like them. The design is clean and overall subtle and it is a worthy update to the otherwise not very exciting golf market in terms of design. Via Openers.

We Are the Market brings previews of the coming spring/summer 2009 collection for J. Lindeberg menswear. "The collection’s silhouettes took influence from both dapper dudes and workwear, cutting a fresh silhouette that’s totally relevant and forward thinking."
