Openers Japan take a look at the Etro Summer Resort Collection for 2009. The Italian line uses the “T-Shirt” as their palette of choice when messaging this collection. A variety of t-shirts work the Etro look in a very casual and almost understated manner.It’s clearly about the casual look here. Nothing like saying, “I’m Made in Italy” than with an Etro tee.

You remember Sweden’s Julia Hederus? She’s the designer behind those fascinating K-SWISS sneakers we previewed a while back. Well Hederus returns with some new fashions for the men which continue to take shape around her “jigsaw” themes. “Designed in Sweden, the clothes are luxury sportswear and are created for men who appreciate an unconventional cut and shape. Design direction follows previous seasons where rectangles  are still present with a slight distortion.” Available now at Oki-ni.

OPENERS gives a nice preview of the ETRO Summer 2009 Resort Collection. ETRO takes aim for the “casual” market with their Italian made goods. Sandals, sneakers, and bags round up the collection. Sneaker styles follow the traditional Euro slip stream shapes which are favored by many and are often seen are simply staying on point with the consumer not looking to experiment. We happen to love the messenger bag, with its orange leather finish.

The TSE Cashmere line was founded by Augustine Tse in 1989 as an outlet to bring focus on the luxury yarns of the world. “This beautiful raw material had been used very one-dimensionally, was very expensive, and was perceived to be reserved for only the elite.” Tse changed that view by outfitting looks for everyone including men.
