Beat Poet R.U.I.N.S F/W 08.09

[jcotteri]

Just wanted to put this in here as these guys are one of my favourite Australian designers and i feel they deserve thier own thread. perhaps even introduce some new people to it.

Info:

The house of Beat Poët emerged from the German label Punkt Linie Fläche in early 2005.

Starting with a humble accessories line, there was immediate demand for a full ready-to-wear collection following the launch in April of the same year.

In July 2005, the studio relocated to Melbourne and launched the Spring/Summer component of it's debut collection entitled Eighty Slaves. The following year the company migrated to Sydney to launch the Autumn/Winter component of the Eighty Slaves range. The label is now permanently based in Sydney and will be launching a new collection later this year.

Plans are underway to incorporate several new lines under the

Beat Poët Group including publishing, men's shoes,

luggage, limited edition pieces and more...

Thought and comments, good or bad are of course welcome

one of my favourite aussie designers too. love the shirts and accessories. would have bought one of the coats this season as well, really nice wool and a good clean design but unfortunately it was too big on me. not really a fan of the prints though...

yeh i got the coat and some of the tee's and some other accessories..

I really like the darted tees. I think that the prints are really clean and simple.. suits my taste and what i wear.

I am yet to see the jewelery in person, as i believe alot of it is still in construction but they are all hand made and quite nice..

Any info on this shirt and the necklace? Is that a necklace, or is it attached?

+rep for starting this thread

[jcotteri]

absolutely

the necklace is called the St Andrews Cross. It is shown in it's necklace form, but is also available as a brooch.

The button up is the grey version of the tartan morning fragment shirt.

[DJI]

yeah the darting of the tees is a nice detail.

the cobweb necklace looks quite interesting, I think its in some stores now.

[sycamore no more]

when will squares and triangles stop? srsly? there were like 2 other designers within the past season who i've seen do shirts that look like that or very similar.

the st. andrews cross is awesome though.

i'm still awaiting servo to chime in "oh look, another one."

I haven't been to the local shops for a couple of weeks, but last I saw most of the F/W collection was in at fat and alice euphemia. alice generally stocks most, if not all, of beat poet's collection.

seriously, euclidean geometry is so previous level, i'm ready for CoN to jump on some hyperbolic prints

on the real though im a trig/calc geek and i love seeing prints like these

[btbam]

i own the morning shirt in blue version of the tartan morning fragment shirt.

Quality and fit is Amazing.

Also the next collection SS 08/09 is brilliant.

[DJI]

a link to the runway shots would be appreciated if you have one btbam, cheers

how much are the coats generally?

didnt know they were coming out with footwear; will be waiting for that one

[DJI]

^ they only have the one coat this season. it comes in black and charcoal and costs $480.

[btbam]

Beat Poet's SS 08 09 collection, Desert And Fog is not available in runway pictures, i do have a couple images but they do not do any justice for the items.

The collection is great, with a few lighter items such as the S.A.F Shirt Jacket. ( Image attached )

Looks to be really great.

Also some Tall Shirts that look to be a great summer piece.

[jcotteri]

yeh as far as i know there are no runway pics, but i will get the blue tartan fragment morning shirt eventually. nice piece.. fits perfectly..

[joey_formal]

i should have pictures soon available of Desert & Fog. such a strong line I'm working with the guys to bring it to the states soon hopefully lets keep our fingers crossed.

[jcotteri]

thats great news joey.. you met james?

[joey_formal]

i haven't yet but we've spoken at depth about slowly bringing the brand into the US i'm looking to potentially open anywhere between 5-7 accounts in the North American market for the upcoming season. I'm also working with Who Am Eye and Stolen Girlfriends Club to slowly bring the names into the US market with the right boutiques and press.

[geekbonchic]

Please make sure you bring it to the Bay so that I can't be extra supergay on campus.

[btbam]

Stolen girlfriends club's next season is really a step up aswell.

im sure beat poet will be putting together some great images soon enough of Desert & Fog.

[joey_formal]

i want to upload the pics from stolen girlfriends clubs pdf but my computer has been acting like complete shit so i havent yet. but yes its a great step for them especially in their womens wear.
