Luke Worrall @ D.Gnak: Vauxhall Fashion Scout on 22/9/10

2010-09-23T05:57:00.001-07:00

The D.Gnak debut collection “Workaholics” showed at Vauxhall Fashion Scout on Men’s Day at 1.30 PM with Luke Worrall opening the collection.

“Workaholic” is for men in the middle of ambiguous boundary, between men and women, still holding masculinity. Workaholics create new styles, the collection is inspired by crazy workaholics who keep busy, leaving no time for grooming, making untidy quirky-cool kid looks.

D-GANK’s key piece in this collection is the “twisted suit”. The signature of his style is casual based asymmetrical tailoring with twisted techniques and unique cuts. Using a colour palette of navy, beige and monotone, they express cold, dry looks, with unaffected wrinkles in wool, cotton, and linen; that crunch with soft and comfy feeling. Shoes in the collection have been a collaboration with Sanuk. Comfy, untidy feelings go well with the collection theme, workaholic.

Freya Olsen is a creative partnership of writers, illustrators, photographers, and web designers, handpicked from around the globe. We work with the international fashion market to promote trends and the people who set them-- from established and emerging designers, to that quirky-cool kid turning heads on a Singaporean street.

We change the site with the seasons, posting fresh editorial and a new design by award-winning illustrator Pomme Chan every six months. Each online-only issue features a chosen country that we make our muse, and we share the most intriguing happenings, cultural trends, and artists discovered within.

The founder has extensive international experience, from co-producing runway shows and brochures, to conducting interviews with designers. While collaborating with fashion houses, designers, and magazines in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, Ms. Olsen met many of the creative experts who now shoot, illustrate, and write about contemporary fashion culture for the website.

Freya Olsen introduces the new arbiters of creativity and style to the world. From Seoul to Stockholm, Tokyo to Toronto, we’ve got it covered.
