Phillipe Starck x Ballantyne Cashmere Collection

If there was ever as superstar of design whose name crosses the lanes of design insiders to everyday folks who just like nice things, it would probably be Phillipe Starck. The designer teams up with the house of Ballantyne Est. 1921 to create a collection of 30 pieces for men and women. Using their patented ‘ wet-out cashmere’ (A special water-repellent finish prevents liquids from saturating the external layer of the knits)” Lighter garments are made with silk linings and for colder seasons, jackets and coats are equipped with ‘teddy-bear’ detachable waistcoats, whose pockets are deliberately camouflaged to maintain the purity of the silhouette. Hoods on knitwear and on outwear, as well as fluorescent colors of some pieces” The raw edges , the color palette  and the sleek silhouettes already make this collection a winner in my book.  Phillipe Starck x Ballantyne Available in October. via designboom.
