Danish menswear fashion designer, Rene Gurskov, commissioned a series of fabric prints for his Spring Summer 2011 collection. He explains: “For the collection we imagined an American writer/student going to Paris for the first time… We took the best part of America – the freshness, the energy, the bright smile and the lust for adventure! The Americano mixed with old world decadence – Paris – place de la Clichy with its extreme mix of people and cultures. A piece of stars and stripes remixed by Venezuelan visual artist Char Alfonzo in New York. Meshweaters with an African stripe designed in Denmark. To complete the look, paper glasses from Hong Kong designer Ron Wan for Rene Gurskov– now based in Toronto. Items are skirt like pants; linen jackets tied together, asymmetric tees, bowling shirts, boxershorts and the biggest trackpants. Enough pieces to dress up and be anything but quiet!”
