AW2011.12. GO WILD.....

RENEGURSKOV_MEN. AW2011

”go wild in the country”


   

The darker side of Laura Ingalls ...as a boy.
Traditional Amish handicraft meets urban trash.
Where snakes are absolutely free!

The wild little girl of west translated into a modern boy.
The contrast of well behaving and going crazy.
Pretty traditional clothing trashed by a fight in the mud.
Mamas homemade coat of many colours.
Dads handyman belt as a skirt .
Gender bending the beautiful country side.
The songs of bow wow wow.

The “go wild” collection explorers the contrasts of yesterdays living and modern
Buzz.
Is the countryside still alive and creating?

The collection has a puffed cozy side and a harder trashed urban side.
In the right mix – this countryboy looks both cool and cute.

quiet days in clichy. renegurskov men ss2011

SPRING 2011

RENEGURSKOV_MEN
QUIET DAYS IN CLICHY. Spring/summer
o11.


Quiet days in Clichy, the title of American writer Henry Millers novel from 1956 about artist’s bohemian life in place de la Clichy Paris.


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.
X rated clubs, Europe cheapest shops, loud women which are not always female, food from every hidden corner of the world and the fabric stores.
An area where a sweet American easily can loose his focus!
In the collection there are a mix of both worlds + glimpses of most worlds.
A piece of stars and stripes remixed by Venezuelan art director 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!

questionaire ID`ESQUE


What do you do
?
Right now I’m a nomadic Trend Forecaster / street photographer / fashion blogger exploring the world for the Radicant Fashion Project to answer the question ”does what a guy wears in Rio affect a woman’s outfit in the Lower East Side of New York?” I wanted to see how trends originate move and change in different countries to prove a theory that we all share more references on this planet than we think.

What inspires you?
People who are bold and original and aren’t afraid to put themselves out there if they are passionate about something. Being placed in new situations where I have to “relearn” the rules: this is a always a humbling and eye opening experience.

What was your big break?
I had a big break in my “previous” career as a video producer when I started producing fashion shows for New York Fashion week. I’m still waiting for my big break as a trend forecaster but I know this project I’m doing is a big step in the right direction.

What is most essential to what you do?
To have an open mind and be ultra aware!

What might people be surprised to learn about your job?
Sometimes I really have to push myself to my extreme limits to photograph people and portray a city in a way I feel it deserves to be portrayed. I will literally be combing the streets for several hours a day, camera in hand. There are also communication issues. In China I had to swallow my fear and go up to people with my 5 words of Mandarin and try to explain to them what I was doing and why. It was a difficult experience but rewarding in the end as all of the kids from Beijing and Shanghai generously shared their time and enthusiasm which resulted in great photographs.

What are the dangers of your job?
That you forever live in the future and the newness.

Best and worse career point:
Worst career point:
During this trip none (aside from dark circles under my eyes because of travel fatigue).
Best career point:
Rediscovering Paris – where I used to live – and concluding that the kids are more than alright; Being welcomed with open arms by the people of Copenhagen; finding extreme quirkyness in Helsinki; learning that the youth of Beijing and Shanghai are just as stylish if not more than New Yorkers; Giving a lecture to the students at Hong Kong Polytechnic University; Going off the beaten path and finding amazing fashion and amazing people in Fukuoka; finding actual fashionable pedestrians in LA … and there still remains Rio and possibly Sao Paulo… who knows what else I will discover

THE BLOGGER ROLLY IBANEZ



Questionaire ID`ESQUE


What do you do?
I am a blogger and a student.

What inspires you?
Rainy days, gloomy weather, city lights, unfinished rooftop decks and skyscrapers.

What was your big break?
Starting my own blog gave me the opportunity to be connected to some of the best people in the industry, so basically THESOUTHSIDER.

What is most essential to what you do?
Focusing to what’s important and setting aside irrelevant stuff.

What might people be surprised to learn about your job?
I don’t have a job yet, but people might be surprised of running my own blog on my own. They often think of it run by a team.

What are the dangers of your job?
Not getting enough sleep and carrying that heavy stress!

Best and worse career point:
Running out for good ideas. Best Point: Getting a good sleep after a stressful day.
have a good dinner in Denmark!

ONPARADE. 2010.11

Rene Gurskov’s menswear sensibilities have mashed with the demands of politic dressing, and it’s never looked better.

The FW10 collection carries the uniform essence without appearing kitschy; not an easy feat for a fledgeling label needing to turn as many heads as possible. Gurskov has designed the marching uniform for the modern gentleman and remains fresh by fusing 3 looks together; sport , uniform, greaser and ultimate dandy.

The loose trouser marks the beginning of trend death for pin thin leg cuts, and all male genitalia breaths a sigh of relief. Choice pieces include the perforated dual tone trouser (shown below on two models), and bottoms which fit as a casual jodhpur.
