What do
Kurt Cobain, ancient Egyptians, and
Bob Dylan all have in common? Give up? Well, they were all inspiration behind Brooklyn-based design team
Love Brigade! Blending musical influences with up to the minute trends, their Fall '08 collection named
"Love Kurt" featured nature motifs and sexy asymmetrical cuts, slits, and straps all without baring too much skin. Not to be outdone, their Spring '09 presentation of their "Ex-Oh" diffusion line was probably one of the most unique out there! The presentation featured models hanging out on hammocks and dining with oversized cutlery rather than strutting down the runway. We got a chance to talk to Creative Director
Christopher "Tinypants" Dang about Love Brigade's background and what's next for them. Read on to see what he had to say, and be sure to check out the slideshow for a look at their Fall collection- then watch the video for their newest Spring '09 looks!
