Created as the more sophisticated side of the New York based Staple Clothing Company, 'STPL' recently presented their Spring 09 lookbook. Moving away from their foundations in graphic t-shirts, this line was seen as serving the purpose of showcasing the more mature aesthetic of the brand. The concept of the shoot was in fact of a photographer shooting on set. As such the crew had to set up the studio for a shoot, and then set up for another photo shoot to photograph the original. No doubt rather a confusing explanation to a simple concept, however the outcome speaks for itself, so to speak.
The collection was made up of finely constructed cut-and-sew garments. The clean cut aesthetic served to provide the clothing a simple yet practical design. Although the pieces in themselves are not groundbreaking in terms of design or concept, the fine attention to detail and overall quality of the garments was fascinating. Ostensibly small decisions such as the finish of the interior seaming or webbing of the jacket side vents provided the evidence for a wonderfully thought out and considered approach to each garment. I have deep respect for designers who pay such attention their work, creating a definite and appreciated functionality.
Thank you all so, so much for your wonderful comments, I shall try to get back to you all as soon as I possibly can.

Aww, love this. I love photos of people taking photos especially when you throw an old style camera in the mix!
ReplyDeleteIs that a new header cause it is lovely! (If it's not new, please ignore my complete lack of observational skills :P)
I love strong detail with simple pieces! And this editorial is awesome.
ReplyDeleteooh, this is lovely. i especially like the 7th picture. it's a very unique, well-thought out lookbook. i love the idea.
ReplyDeleteA photoshoot within a photoshoot ... like a play within a play, except requiring more equipment. ;)
ReplyDeleteI really like it, and your description.
ReplyDeleteLove the concept for the shoot as well
what a great post! i loved reading it! love how its so simple looking, love minimilisation! :)
ReplyDeletesea @ fashionsqueah!x
Oh! I love this perspective. The clothes look great too.
ReplyDeletesuch great concepts for look-books. while i was scrolling down i kept asking myself 'ok.. where are the actual pictures?', so it definitely worked for me.
ReplyDeletethank you for the sweet comments :)
I especially love the third picture. It's so strange to see a photographer take a spot in front of the lens - but I love it.
ReplyDeleteThere's something so sexy about photographers at work.
ReplyDeleteOh I like this, really great, hun.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments.
Hope you're feeling ok.
xoxo
Those are so fantastic! Sometimes I wish I could throw my textbooks out the window and maybe go study photography for the rest of my time in college
ReplyDeletethis is a great piece, the images are great! YAY to me winning the movie poster! how exciting! :o)
ReplyDeletechuffed as we say here :o)
muah,
Marian.
Oh this is a great photo shoot, I love the simplicity. I especially love the sixth photo!
ReplyDeleteI totally want a Polaroid camera. That would be so amazing.
ReplyDeleteBut, I absolutely love the shots. Pictures of those taking pictures always amaze me. Watching a photographer work has to be one of the most fascinating things, for they know exactly how they want everything down to the last stray hair.

Somehow..it just makes the designs hold a certain strength about them.
ReplyDeletei love the collection, classic and playful. and whats more attractive than a man holding a camera?
ReplyDeletexo s
They really look like comfortable clothes. & so stylish, too.
ReplyDeleteOh, thanks for the note on IvyOaks too. Well, I feel sure Rhys just can't ever seem to reach the bottom of the barrel. He looks tired on the show these days too. Hmmmm..what could it be?
ReplyDeleteI do know he swears he wouldn't date anyone on the show. Like well, a few dated everyone. I wonder if he's changed his mind.
I really want to join a photo club! AAACK. Love the photos, btw. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is quite a different concept for a lookbook, and I definitely enjoy it. I've always been a fan of simple but beautifully cut and crafted pieces. I adore the photo of the man in the stairwell, and the one of the man hanging up and examining the polaroids. So lovely.
ReplyDeleteI agree - Colin and Sandhurst better win! And Salome is definitely super hot - I guess we'll just have to see what happens :) I'm glad you watched though, dear!
Thank you for the comment. Babies tend to love mouths and hair.
ReplyDeleteI really love the pics you found for the post and story, too.
great concept!!
ReplyDeleteShoot within an editorial, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI just want the cameras.
