Rickard Lindqvist shows off his tailoring skills (he got his start as a traditional tailor) with this fetching blazer. With a piece like this, it’s hard to pick one defining feature. It could be the elbow patch, which give off just enough ‘geography teacher’ vibes to look good. Or it could be the crushed leather buttons, something rarely seen on blazers. Or it could even be the checked pattern itself – perfect for layering on top of a check shirt. Either way, this would be a perfect piece to wear when you need to smarten up a little. (Fever)

Detailed images are after that leap.

Rickard Lindqvist converts us with this checkered shirt. It may look simple enough but it is made from a Japanese double weave cotton produced in Sweden. 23 hand made shirts were produced. You may consider jumping on this. (fever)

Rickard Lindqvist continues to push personality in fashion with his latest Spring 2010 runway show. ”Swedish designer Rickard Lindqvist never fails in delivering a charming collection of not only personality, but quality. Inhibiting a space that fuses classic tailoring with both unconventional and standard style directions that challenge the norm, the designer pushes forward with ease and finesse. Next year’s spring season is no different. In a smart cheeky turn, Lindqvist takes contemporary menswear and gives it an update in proportions.” (fashionisto)

This “t-shirt” from Rickard Lindqvist is made from one piece of jersey and seam “traced” around the arms and more to give it the form of a t-shirt but with a loose fit finish. A casual piece that will work very well in the Summer when you need some natural venting. (tresbien)

Rickard Lindqvist displayed his A/W 2009 range last week at Swedish fashion week and the collection looked to build on his strong showings in previous seasons. With a focus on sharply tailored jackets, knitwear of various sizes and overlong scarves, the overall collection is one that could easily translate into anyone’s wardrobe – regardless of their personal style. Take a look after the jump for the rest of the collection.

We featured Rickard Lindqvist a while back, so it’s only natural that we take a look at his SS09 collection. This collection continues to mix classic tailoring with contemporary choices of colour and materials. Denim is the material that Lindqvist has decided to experiment with this time around, using it for everything from jumpsuits to trench-like coats. Take a look at the rest of the collection after the jump.

Why stop showcasing the great knits now? Soon enough it will just about all we’ll be able to wear up (at least up North). this long form knit cardigan from Rickard Lindqvist is another great alternative to the usual cardigan. Made from heavy duty wool threading, the cardigan looks to fall well onto the form and though it looks gray in the photo, we’re told it is truly brown. Doubles well as a jacket when necessary.   Availble now from Ashtray.

Sweden’s Rickard Lindqvist “Assymetrical Cardigan” for S/S 08 may throw the balance off for some, but when but when buttoned closed, give the garment a bunched bulk feel. Some may try to warn you of a misguided buttoning technique. Others will appreciate the unique silhouette that such construction can bring. Available now at Tresbienshop.
