Meet Heidi Lykke and Angelica Weiss, the designing duo behind Denmark’s Carmakoma. The two met in design school in 1997 and got along so well, they decided to create a line of their own. I first learned about their line from browsing through fashion blogs. I was instantly attracted to the monochromatic feel their first collection had. I, as a lover of all things black, loved the head to toe looks with bits of added textures.
Carmakoma’s “style is rough and feminine, and all the collections are targeted at curvy women with charisma. It is of key value for carmakoma to create designs that give opportunity to style the clothes to suit your own mood and personality. The inspiration comes mainly from music and the urban life of the world’s metropoles, and all the clothes are created with special focus on slimming cuts and effects. The quality is high, the prices are competitive and all the collections reflect the hottest current trends.”
It definitely seems as though their vision is right up my alley. If its right up yours too, then you’re in luck. Their new autumn/winter 2009 collection launches this Saturday, August 1st. In preparation for that, they are now offering 70% off of everything. Yes, you read that correctly - 70% off! Everything is currently priced between $20-$40. I am definitely placing my order as I’ve had my eye on a few things (seen below).
After snooping around on Twitter, I noticed that they featured small sneak peeks of lookbook images on their page, which I’ve posted below. I’m excited to see the entire collection this Saturday! What do you guys think of Carmakoma?
