Nom de Guerre F/W 2009

New York design collective Nom de Guerre haven't quite shipped their F/W 2009 collection yet, but oki-ni is "Johnny On The Spot" and already has it listed on their site for pre-order.

Nom de Guerre is a New York based creative collective who combine basic and diverse influences from art, fashion and various New York City subcultures to create their product.

Founded in 2003 in downtown Manhattan, Nom de Guerre has the look of a high end Army & Navy outpost with an emphasis on utilitarian basics - they offer simple, conceptual pieces with insightful, unusual detail.

As anyone from New York knows, it's the former owner of Isa (Isa Salabe) and a few of the folks who have worked with him over the years designing this line that is under the radar, yet very successful and always well-designed. If you're in New York, stop by their store at the corner of Broadway and Bleecker. It's under the Swatch Store. The sign says it's a copy shop, but as everyone knows by now -- well except 99% of the tourists who pass by -- it's not.

For the Fall/Winter 2009 collection, I'm really into the big comfy sweaters (despite the fact that I can't bear to think of it being cold ever again), the double-breasted, wool overcoat, the fitted blazers, and the fitted vest.

Check out the collection for yourself on oki-ni's site. Don't forget to check out Nom de Guerre's site, where you'll find their Fall/Winter 2009 look book and a full list of stores that stock the line.
